How to dress formally on New Year’s Eve
Whether attending a black-tie event or going on a romantic date, discover our top tips for creating a formal New Year’s Eve outfit.
1. Make a statement with a dress
New Year’s Eve is a special night that calls for statement dresses. Wear a long dress for black-tie events to enhance your silhouette or a classic black slip dress for comfort and style. Exude sophistication with a satin dress, or take your party attire to the next level with sequined and embellished designs. Browse the complete collection of occasion dresses at Damart to find your favourites.
2. Add a blazer
Blazers can smarten up any look, making them a great layering piece for your New Year’s Eve outfit. Versatile, practical and stylish, they can transition your look from day to night. Elevate your party attire by layering an elegant blazer over a dress or your favourite jeans.
3. Finish with accessories
No New Year’s Eve outfit is complete without accessories. There is no right or wrong way to mix and match them – have fun! Gold and silver earrings can brighten your look, while a pearl necklace makes a sophisticated statement. Sparkly hair bands or clips are another eye-catching addition to New Year’s looks. Finish your outfit with a chic sequin clutch bag to store all your essentials.
How to dress casually on New Year’s Eve
Spending New Year’s Eve at home with friends? Explore casual outfits to help you feel comfortable and look great.
1. Wear jeans or jeggings
Comfy jeans are hard to beat if you’re planning a laid-back New Year’s Eve at home. Choose a relaxed fit to feel at ease all night, with an elasticated waist and stretch design. Jeggings are a great alternative to jeans, providing extra comfort. Pair them with a blouse or a cami to dress up your look.
2. Opt for a matching sweatsuit
A matching sweatsuit is the best ally for a casual New Year’s Eve, offering maximum comfort and warmth. Opt for vibrant shades, or keep it classic with neutrals. Browse Damart’s cosy loungewear for more casual outfit ideas.

How to wear sparkle on New Year’s Eve
Brighten up your New Year’s Eve outfit with glitter. Here are the best ways to add some sparkle to your looks.
1. Handbag
Make your handbag the centrepiece of your outfit. Opt for a high-shine metallic bag or a black clutch with a sparkly handle for extra glamour. A sequin purse is another great option, especially if your outfit is neutral.
2. Belt
Whether wearing a dress or trousers, a belt is the perfect accessory for adding glitz to your New Year’s Eve attire. Pair a chain belt with an elegant slip dress to make a statement, or add a printed belt to your favourite jeans.
3. Shoes
Attending a black-tie event? Shiny heels or flats will be the star of your New Year’s Eve outfit. Adding sparkles to monochromatic or neutral looks is the best way to make them stand out.
