New Year’s Eve is the perfect time to move on from past mistakes and start fresh, and nothing beats starting fresh like wearing the perfect dress to a New Year’s Eve bash. The hard part is finding that perfect dress in a pinch. We’ve all had that problem of wandering around the mall for hours unable to find the right look. So, in order to make your New Years plans easier, we’ve rounded up seven great NYE dresses you can find at your local mall—right now.
1. Gold Beaded Sheath Dress , $298, Cache
Whether you’re celebrating with your family or dancing the night away with your friends, this chic dress is great for any NYE event. The intricate beading adds a classic look you can pair with strappy stilettos and a simple black clutch.
2. Metallic Sweetheart Peplum Dress, $32.99, Charlotte Russe
For a spin on the typical NYE metallic dresses, try this festive peplum dress. The metallic foil fabric will give you a texture different from all the glittered and sequined dresses everyone will be wearing. Style it with a simple necklace and ankle booties for a glamorous look.
3. Bodycon Mesh Midi Dress, $32.99, Charlotte Russe
Break out your winter whites with this stylish knee-length dress. We’re loving the sporty look, and the mesh overlay will give partygoers something to talk about all night! Wear it with a leather jacket, a bold cat eye and gold statement jewelry for an edgy-yet-sporty look.
4. Black and Gold Scalloped Sequin Dress, $42.90, Windsor Try out a vintage look with this stunning dress. The scalloped design will give your outfit a vintage look, while the multicolored sequins will bring you into 2015. Match it with a pair of sky-high heels, a sock bun and sheer tights for a look that could rival the roaring ’20s.
5. Velveteen Floral Dress, $26.99, Forever 21
While florals are normally reserved for the spring or summer, this frosty, flowery dress is a unique way to start 2015. The darker colors make it perfect for winter occassions, and it can be dressed up for any NYE event.
6. Cutout Bandage Dress, $139, Bebe
Ever since Kate Middleton wore her bandage dress back in 2011, we’ve been loving the bodycon look, too. Try out this sleek dress for your New Year’s celebrations. Paired with statement earrings and a small cross-body bag, you’ll look like New Year’s royalty.
7. Lace Dress , $34.95, H&M
Ring in the new year with 2014’s lace trend! The black fabric will make you stand out from all the shiny dresses everyone will be wearing (and an LBD always looks good). Worn with metallic pumps, you’ll be ready for all the new trends 2015 will bring.
