Every year, many of us look forward to purchasing a New Year’s Eve dress. It’s almost enticing because the 31st of December is the one day of the year when you may abandon modern society’s smart/casual limitations and go all-out in sequins, satin, metallics, Lurex, and lame – possibly even all thrown together. While we totally encourage you to go shopping for a new party dress, it’s vital to be cautious of what you’re purchasing; one-hit wonders aren’t the best use of closet space, nor are they a sustainable option.
Fortunately, the current fashion trend for an LBD (long or little black dress) is quite adaptable: wear yours now with 20-denier tights and glittering jewellery, then swap to bare legs and strappy shoes for spring/summer occasions.
If galas and balls are on the cards, choose gowns with timeless styles that will never go out of style. We’ve included a floor-sweeping number by Jenny Packham, a designer who re-releases the same silhouettes every season to ensure her items can be worn season after season (if you don’t believe us, look up the Duchess of Cambridge wearing the label).
Of course, given the current state of affairs, for others, New Year’s Eve consists of beverages and dinner. In such scenario, look for versatile pieces that can be quickly enhanced, such as a classic slip or this season’s favourite knitted dresses.
