10 Alternative New Year’s Eve Outfits (No Sequins Required)

After an endless slew of holiday parties (seriously, how many did you attend?), that sparkly dress is just done. It came, it partied, and now it’s screaming at you to let it rest in peace. And, really, how could you possibly wear that same glitzy frock when you ring in the New Year? Well, the good news is you don’t have to. In fact, not sporting that shimmery number makes even more of a statement than wearing one — you'll do anything but blend in when everyone around you is decked out in those standby sequins.

So, whether you’re headed to a fancy, black-tie affair (think sleek tuxedo) or your BFF’s house party (a jeans-and-sweater combo is appropriate), the best alternative New Year’s Eve outfits are just straight ahead. In fact, these looks are so good, you’ll forget glitter was ever an option.
