How to Dress for NYE

It's that time of year again. December is almost over and we are about to start a new year.

And what better way to kick off the New Year, then in a fabulous outfit and killer pair of high heel shoes?

If you are lucky enough to have a fabulous NYE party to attend, the first thing to remember is, you want to make a statement. It is time to pull out all the glitz and glamour in an eye catching outfit to turn heads and have people talking (in the good way!).

So, what's the best outfit for the party season?

The first thing to remember is make a statement and be sure to show a little skin. The emphasis is on a little. If you have killer legs, be sure to wear a shorter length dress but keep the neckline simple and not so revealing. If your best assets are in fact, your lady assets, opt for a plunging neckline, but keep your dress length appropriate.

You can pick an interesting neckline for more flair. Try a sweetheart neckline, one shoulder dress or even go backless for a statement.

There's no better time of the year then NYE to add some sparkle to your outfit. Sequins are your friend this time of year. If you are game, try a sequin dress for that much loved sparkle. If you are a bit conservative, you can opt for a sequin skirt and add a plain top to complete the outfit.

If sequins terrify you, try a printed or patterned outfit for a statement. Even subtle metallics look amazing for the party season. And if you are still stuck for outfit choices, you can stick to that trusty Little Black Dress for a classic and sophisticated outfit.

Now, for accessories and the most important… Shoes. My favourite accessory. Opt for a pair of shoes that draws people's attention to your feet.

My top party shoes are:

1. Strappy shoes -  They are fun, flirty, feminine and sexy. What more can want in a party shoes?

2. Metallics - Metallics shoes are a popular trend at the moment and perfect for adding subtle glamour to any outfit.

3. Glitter - NYE is the best occasion for anything that sparkles, so why not let your shoes sparkle and shine while the count down is on.

Jewellery is also important for the party season. Be sure to pick jewellery that makes a statement. Just remember to keep the look simple. If you have big statement earrings, leave the necklace at home. Or if you want to wear a chunky, statement necklace, wear small studded earrings to balance the look.

Find a statement clutch in a tone that matches your other accessories. Just be sure to keep the harmony the same so the look is well balanced. And don't be afraid to find the most jewelled or glittery clutch for more glamour.

And as for makeup, don't be afraid to go strong. Smokey eyes, bold lip colours or glitter, are all important for a NYE party. Just remember, less is more. Pick one and do it well.

And finally, remember to have a good night, drinks lots and bring in the New Year with lots of fun and laughter.

Happy New Year!
