Every year, we try not to get stressed out about New Year’s Eve. We say we’re going to take it easy. No bottle service. No body-con sequins. Then, December 31 rolls around and all of a sudden we’re waiting for Ashton Kutcher to come kiss us on the stage in Times Square (or was that the movie?) — or something equally breathtaking. But, this time around, regardless of our expectations, we’re going to look the part. So, we put together three copy-now NYE ensembles that will ensure a great strike-of-midnight kiss, a fun evening, and an even better 2014.
Hit play on that “Auld Lang Syne” and read on.
Supper Club
There are tons of special-dinner options offered around the city, but you’ve got to have a five-star outfit to match. If the restaurant of choice is somewhere in between casual and fanciful, punch up your skirt-and-sweater outfit with blingy jewelry and statement kicks. A little sparkle will make the evening that much more festive.

Dance Floor
Lovers of the sequined, body-con dress take note: A more up-to-date version of this party-time staple is the beaded frock with a slip silhouette. The bright color of this little number is enough to liven up any dimly lit dance floor, but it is still loose enough to fit a sheer button-down underneath. Or, tie the top around your waist for a grunge-meets-glam outfit that will ring in the New Year just right.
