What the hell can I wear on New Year?!

This is everyone’s worst nightmare, and always ends with a breakdown lasting ten minutes (or more). Don’t panic! I have the perfect outfit ideas to spend your last evening of 2017, and to start your first day of the new year in. You might have the time of your life on the 31st, but I’ll make sure you still look amazing during your hangover. And because we support smaller brands, all the pieces are taken from Asos Marketplace. While Christmas is all about spending the evening trying to convince your family that you have been nice all year long, New Year’s Eve is the time to be as naughty as you can, before starting the year with good resolutions and promises you won’t keep. Aunt Suzanne won’t be there to judge your ‘inappropriate” style tonight so make the most of it.

Starwoman

It’s your last night of the year and you wanna shine bright like a diamond, brighter than the stars and be the alien queen stared at by everyone when getting in a room. You want to blind people with your style but still want to look hella cute at the same time, and you nailed it. This one’s for you!

Blackstar

Halloween isn’t over for you, you wear black 24/7, 365 days a year and you aren’t going to change it for anything, not even new year. Or you just think black dresses are a go to when it comes to a night out: no need to worry about stains, no need to worry about your shoe, coat or accessories colours, everything goes with black. And as a bonus, it’s shimmery. The grunge boots are to give this outfit an extra confident look, you’ll own the place for at least one night.

Colour pop

Festival season isn’t over! You will not only be noticed, you will be named the sassiest queen in the room. You’ll have everything to make anyone jealous, you won’t get lost if left behind by your friends, we’ll be able to spot you from miles away. And with all this fluff, you will NOT get cold.

Party comfy

This one is for the people who like chilled parties. The ones who like to be comfy in their clothes, able to dance as much as they want. The ones who don’t want to end up walking barefoot in the street, and the ones who don’t wanna freeze to death. You know, the ones who don’t want to look like the stereotypical drunk girl on New Year’s Eve.

Christmas all year round

No need to be sad that Christmas is over, we all know one person who lives for this moment of the year, who starts buying presents for next year’s celebrations the morning after Christmas so as not to feel too depressed by it ending. It’s okay to still feel in the Christmas mood, to still wear the red and white colours: go for it! 

BOOTS: CUCU FASHION – £22

On New Year We Wear Pink!

What’s better than to start your New Year in colour? January is a depressing month so let’s begin it correctly with 50 shades of pink rather than the famous 50 shades of grey. Let Barbie have her moment and live your seven year old dreams for one night only. 

BODYSUIT: LIME BLONDE – £34

JEANS – £28

BOOTS: SHOE CLOSET – £27.95
