7 ultra-fashionable NYE outfits to welcome 2021

…because there’s nothing we’d rather say bye to than 2020. Whether you’re counting down in from of the TV or at home with a small group of friends, social distancing doesn’t mean having to sacrifice style. 

Rotate Birger Christensen Miki Dress

A little black dress goes a long way – accent it with different accessories and it can work for almost an occasion. The Miki dress in black by Rotate Birger Christensen features standout shoulders and glistening sequin embellishments. We’re ready for a bit of shine in 2021, what about you?

Available at ROTATE

Miu Miu Embroidered Soft Duchesse Satin Dress

It’s no secret that Miu Miu makes some of the most playful party dresses around. Catch someone’s attention at this year’s countdown with this crystal-embroidered satin shift dress. Pair it with classic pumps or a chunky heel sandal and semi-sheer stockings – you won’t need a lot of jewellery for this look either. 

Available at Miu Miu

Galvan Stargaze Cocktail Dress

Effortless elegance is the best way to describe Galvan’s aesthetic of clean lines and luxe materials. A sequin party dress may be the perfect pick-me-up to wrap up the year. Usher in the new decade with a spaghetti-strap shift dress in stripes of gold, bronze and cyan. Top it off with metallic sandals and gold-tone jewels and you’re all set!

The Attico Margot Mini Dress

No one does cool party wear quite like Gilda and Giorgia of The Attico. This lagoon blue silk shirt mini dress is inspired by an oversized boyfriend shirt but hugs all the right places. Accessorise with a low-waist with a chain belt, and don’t forget a stacked pair of heels. 

Available at The Attico

Saint Laurent Latex Midi Dress

For those who are a bit more daring and want to make a statement this NYE, a little latex number from Saint Laurent could do the trick. Let’s face it, 2020 might have not been the best year for fashion, so why not go out with a bang? Ring in the new year in an outfit that even Kylie Jenner would approve (she’s been spotted on a magazine cover in this look). Now that’s a statement. 

Available at Saint Laurent

Gucci Laminated Velvet Dress

From season to season, you will find variations of a babydoll dress at Alessandro Michele’s Gucci. Accented with patent leather buttons and a detachable Peter Pan collar, this mini dress features an empire waist and long puffy sleeves. Team this dress with knee-high pointed boots to go totally retro, or keep it modern with barely-there strappy sandals.

Available at Gucci

Bottega Veneta Sequinned Dress

This floor-sweeping Bottega Veneta dress is a piece that feels festive without being overtly obvious with its high neck, long sleeves and open back in the most beautiful muted shade of beige. Subtle yet elegant, it’s a sequinned dress that can be worn for years to come.
