December 19, 2023 Casual New Year’s Eve Outfits

The countdown is near, and casual New Year’s Eve outfits may be what you have in mind.

We covered fancier looks recently, but we know the appeal of an evening at home with friends, watching a holiday movie or listening to everyone’s playlists from the year. After all, sometimes the best dance floors are in our living rooms!

If you’re signed up for a casual New Year’s Eve, we have some outfit inspiration for you.

Monotone Cozy

From the teddy bear coat to the sweatsuit and handbag, all of these pieces are New Year’s Eve cozy. However, something about the monotone palette elevates the look.

Standout Sweater

When we want to show up in jeans and flats, we count on an impeccable sweater to dress up the look.

Navy & Black

This color combination scares off a lot of people, and that’s what makes it extra special and so chic.

Sweater & Slip Skirt

It’s a look that’s easy to pull together and comfortable for an evening in, while still showing off some of your favorite winter pieces.

Leather/Faux Leather Pants

You can pair these with anything from a soft sweater to a silk blouse to a white tee.

Sweater Vest & Wide-Leg Trousers

You know how we love a sweater vest! Pair it with wide-leg trousers for a sophisticated casual look.

With a beautiful overcoat like this wool camel one, you can dress up any look for your New Year’s evening.
