After a few low-key New Year's Eves this may be the year that moms decide to go out on the town or attend a party or event. Or maybe just get glammed up for a night watching the ball drop on the Rockin' NYE show because we're all doing what we can. Either way, it's an excuse to get glam in one's holiday best and we're here for it. But for those who want to look chic for this glitzy holiday, but still stay cozy, we have good news: It's possible.
We pulled some of the most glam, but somewhat comfortable outfits we could find, from dresses to rompers to pants, so that the people who want the best of both worlds (or to make it past midnight without wanting to take their outfit off) could have their champagne and drink it, too.
Off-the-Shoulder Puff-Sleeve Jumpsuit
Style and comfort meet in jumpsuits, and we're loving this chic black one from online retailer Lulus. The black elevates the look, as do the off-the-shoulder design and puff sleeves. Dress it up with a necklace, or keep it casual without one. The cropped length pants are on trend this season.
Gold Sequin Long-Sleeve Maxi Dress
Gold sequins scream New Year's glam to us, and this sophisticated gold sequin wrap dress does as well. The dress is maxi length with sleeves and a V-neck that shows some skin. This faux wrap style is the perfect mix of dressy and comfortable as there's no tight waistline that squeezes you. And the one piece makes it easy to get on (and off).
Sequin Mini-Dress
Dresses with sleeves just feel cozier to us, maybe because they offer a little bit of warmth. But they also give off sophisticated vibes, and this one from Vici Collection embodies all of that and, thanks to its sequins, glam, too. The shorter length shows off the legs and adds some sexiness.
Velvet Floral Print Wide-Leg Jumpsuit
The flattering wide straps and square neckline on this outfit make it practical while also being a little dressy. Velvet is a thicker fabric, perfect for a cozy wintry (but glam) New Year's Eve wedding, party, or date night. And we'll say it again: jumpsuits are the ultimate in chic comfort, making this a great pick when you want the best of both worlds.
Sparkle Show Sequin Flare Pants
Sparkly pants are having a moment, and because pants are usually the comfortable option — especially when they're made of a stretchy, soft material — we've included these flare pants on our list. These silver sparkly glitter pants will be a definite New Year's Eve show-stopper and can be paired with a simpler blouse or crop top.
Always Sparkling Sequin Crop Top
Speaking of blouses, New Year's Eve is the holiday to really flex those sparkly tops and this one from Windsor is a great option. The open keyhole-style back gives this one sexy vibes. The straps tie at the bottom of the back in a bow for a cute touch. Pair it with simple pants or a skirt.
Erin Velvet Wrap Mini Dress
$36
from
Francesca's
Imagine being at a New Year's Eve party and feeling like you're wrapped in a cozy velvet blanket. That's what we imagine this velvet mini wrap dress feels like. Velvet is a fabric that feels luxurious but is also comfortable, so the dress has that going for it, but it also has long sleeves for classic glam (and warmth).
Zoe High Neck Satin Jumpsuit
$40
from
Francesca's
We love an elegant high neck and that's the look with this satin wide-leg jumpsuit. Satin in itself is another aspect of the 'fit that makes it glamourous and comfortable as anything. Satin just elevates a piece of clothing. This may be the perfect outfit to wear for New Year's Eve. This one is understated, classy, stylish, and comfy.
Alice Tiered Asymmetrical Midi Dress
$40
from
Francesca's
For folks looking for a more playful dress, or one that'll be a little cooler, but still comfortable, this tiered asymmetrical midi dress has it all. It's fun, it's flirty, it's comfortable and flowy, but it's also dressy enough to wear to a party. The navy color fits in just right with the classic New Year's Eve color palette.
Shimmer Top
$35
from
Lane Bryant
For just a touch of shimmer, we recommend this super cute long-sleeve blouse. It's a muted bronze color, which means it's festive enough for New Year's Eve, but it has some subtle sparkle, too. We think this one is glam enough to elevate any outfit. We envision it paired with a simple skirt or a pair of pants.
Pull-On Sequin Joggers
$45
from
Lane Bryant
Can we order like five pairs of these pants? We meant it when we said glittery pants were having a moment, but these pants deserve a whole moment of silence. They're black and glittery sequin joggers from Lane Bryant and the perfect piece for a New Year's Eve outfit that's both glam and super comfortable.
Sequin Midi Dress
$80
from
Banana Republic
Dresses may not seem like the most comfortable style option, but they can be when they wear like a slip, like this one from Banana Republic. Think elevated nightgown. This dress is nearly effortless to put on (and take off) but still incredibly glamourous because its so sleek and shimmery.
Skater Mesh Mini Dress
Add this to your little black dress collection ASAP. This adorable skater dress is simple yet adorable, with a mesh panel across the shoulders adding that elevated elegance for a New Year's Eve night out. Plus, you can't go wrong with an A-line cut and three-quarter sleeves, which make it warm and cozy but not restrictive.
Puff-Sleeve Puffball Hem Dress
$68
from
Pretty Little Thing
This dress is truly glam and doesn't need sparkles to do it. It's a puffball hem dress that simply looks like the chicest pillow ever — and we're here for it. It's slightly off-the-shoulder with a deep plunging V-neckline that gives this mini, babydoll style look its sexy vibes. Be warned: You may want to sleep in it after your night out.
Aida Velvet Wrap Dress
$220
from
Banana Republic
Here's another velvet wrap dress, because we just think they're a great blend of style and comfort. This one from Banana Republic caught our eye for its stunning forest green color that seems to look even more glamourous in this velvet fabric. And the wrap style is fun because it's basically like wearing a really, really nice robe. How's that for comfort?
Faye Floral Dress
If there's a time to rock a metallic outfit, it's definitely New Year's Eve. It's shimmery without being blindingly sparkly and the center of attention in the wrong way. The dress is maxi length and features a subtle floral pattern and sleeves that seem both trendy and comfortable at the same time. The maroon color is so festive!
Embellished Midi Dress With Faux Feather Trim
New Year's Eve is about glitz, glam, and partying, and we often associate the holiday with the 1920s. This dress from ASOS embodies all of those things in the very best way. It's a midi length dress with sleeves that has a 1920s style in New Year's classic black and silver color palette — a perfect dress to ring in the new year. Plus, it has feathers, which definitely amp up the glam factor.
Feather Two Piece Set
Price may vary
from
Feathers add that extra something to an outfit, pushing it from plain to fab, which is one of the reasons we're loving this two piece crop top and straight-leg pants set from ASOS. It's honestly like wearing pajamas that are super cute and trendy, just the kind of outfit one would want to wear on a late night like New Year's.
Mini Smock Dress in Embroidered Sequin
This dress looks both extremely glam and extremely comfortable at the same time and that's why it's on this list. It's a super cute babydoll-style dress, that's suited for winter with its sleeves, suited for NYE with its silver sequins, and suited for prime comfort with its loose fit. Check, check, and check.
Backless Sleeve Sweater Dress
From
$26
to $47
from
For people who want to dress up but still want to rock a cozy sweater, because winter, this New Year's Eve dress is for you. It's a sweater dress with sleeves that somehow is incredibly stylish and sexy. Perhaps it's the off-the-shoulder look or the mini length, but it all works. Pair it with diamond earrings or a necklace to really elevate the look.
