New Year’s Eve is just weeks away, and while Christmas is still on everyone’s minds, shopping for an outfit early can mean avoiding the last-minute rush to get something delivered in time. Plus, with so many Christmas get-togethers on the agenda, anything glitzy or glam you might buy for New Year’s Eve you can wear throughout the festive season.
For those headed out to celebrate New Year’s Eve this year, the auspicious date offers a chance to get glammed up and embrace sparkles and sequins as we say goodbye to 2024.
Buying new clothes for the occasion doesn’t have to break the bank, as brands like Marks and Spencer, Boden, Debenhams and Roman all have some great options if you’re trying to stay within a budget. As a shopping writer, I trawled some of Express.co.uk’s favourite fashion websites to source some top picks that won’t break the bank.
Buying a glitzy top is one of the easiest ways to incorporate sparkle into an outfit, whilst having the versatility to dress it up or down and get ample wear out of it for different occasions.
This one from Roman features an elegant twist-front design and flattering shape with a longer length at the back. The top is also a great purse-friendly option at less than £40.
For a touch of glitz but to still feel comfortable, this midi dress could be the answer. The dress features a v-neck design, metallic spots and a flowy skirt which is ideal after the indulgence of the Christmas period.
Originally costing £65, the dress is currently reduced to £61.75.
It might be a little bit of a splurge, but this Nobody’s Child dress is unique and classy, with a festive bow at the front and a combination of satin jacquard and velvet, with a sweetheart neckline and a figure-skimming bias-cut midi skirt.
There are two shades to choose from and it’s available at M&S for £120. However, if you have your eye on this you’ll want to be quick as it’s starting to sell out!
Metallics can give an updated look on sequins, and this Boden skirt adds a silver pop to outfits, it’s a fun and playful addition to an outfit for New Year’s Eve.
The skirt costs £85, but there’s currently an offer at Boden where you can snap up this skirt for just £59.50.
This sequin Roman dress in the magenta shade is the ultimate party outfit – paired with simple accessories, this dress does all the talking and the unique handkerchief hem adds an extra touch to the look.
The dress is already reduced from £75 to £50 at Roman. However, at the time of writing the site is running an extra 10% off with the code XMAS at checkout.
