Christmas is officially over our favorite time of year (and, sadly, time off from work) is coming to an end. While you've got all year to play with your new presents, you're probably somewhat less excited about all the worn-to-death holiday dresses hanging in your closet. We're right there with you. If we have to throw on that velvet bodycon frock one more time, we're going to lose it. But hold on, the season's most important sartorial occasion is right on the horizon — and you've got to be ready with a killer ensemble.
While you could sift through all your closet rejects, why not ring in 2013 with a bangin' new outfit? We spent the holidays scouring the racks and putting together the most head-turning getups this side of Times Square, so you can focus on finding a midnight kiss. Even better, we've got duds for every kind of fête — from a boozy house party with your best friends, to a chic, resto tasting dinner, to a bash at swankiest hotel in town. Click through to try these NYE fashions on for size.
