Looking For A New Year’s Eve Dress? Shop The Best Frocks For Any Occassion
The year is drawing to a close, making the next few weeks the final stretch for the festive season. Depending on what’s pencilled in to your calendar for December 31, it might be worth putting thought into what dress to wear when celebrating the beginning of a new year.
The final page of your calendar usually poses a conundrum, not just sartorially, but on a wider scale, and leaving it to the last minute risks disappointed. “What’s the plan?” is the question: is it best to stay at home and host dinner? To stay at home and not do anything at all? Or to go out-out? Which team you play for will determine what you’ll wear, but, unfortunately, this doesn’t aid the decision-making process.
So, perhaps the panacea to this chicken-and-egg scenario is to find your outfit first and let it inform your plans for the night. Feeling drawn to sequins? You’re going out. Opting for a knitted dress? Dinner it is. Have you landed on a silky nightie? You get the gist.
Option one, two or three – whichever you go for, find British Vogue’s selection of editor-approved New Year’s Eve dresses below.

House parties or black tie events, these dresses are NYE workhorses. Step into the new year by leaving a glittering trail in your wake.
The stay-at-home styles

The antidote to party dressing
Have you chosen to ignore all invitations and spend your evening in peaceful solitude? Give your trusted pyjamas a break and slip into something more considered. Begin as you mean to go on etc.
