Happy new year<\/em>! It\u2019s what most of us will be screaming when the clock strikes midnight on New Year\u2019s Eve. Some of us might be partying<\/a> at a blowout bash with a glass of Champagne in hand; others might be cozied up at home watching TV<\/a>, taking delight in avoiding the crowds. Whatever your plans may be, though, you\u2019ll likely still be wearing something a bit glitzy\u2014dressing up in sequins is half of the fun of ringing in 2026, after all. But me? I\u2019d rather be caught dead than wearing sequins<\/a> this holiday season. Hear me out.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not like a holiday Grinch or anything. I\u2019m excited for New Year\u2019s Eve too! I just hate the prospect of being told what to wear\u2014or conforming to a uniform that everyone else will wear. Shimmering crystals and dazzling metallics are the unofficial dress code for New Year\u2019s Eve, and the problem is, I already wear both of these things constantly. I do New Year\u2019s dressing year-round. At the office, I will regularly stroll in wearing my metallic Saint Laurent boots<\/a>. For happy hour with friends, I\u2019ll change into grosgrain-trimmed trousers and a velvet blazer. Yes, I am tooting my own horn\u2014I simply don\u2019t need a holiday to dress snazzy! Sue me.<\/p>\n

By the end of the year, then, the idea of doing disco-ball-dressing seems anticlimactic. When you wear sequins on a regular Tuesday, sporting them for a New Year\u2019s send-off feels, well, tired.<\/em> Aren\u2019t you supposed to step into 2026 feeling like a new-and-improved version of yourself? I\u2019d argue that a New Year\u2019s look should be something wholly fresh and unexpected. And no, I\u2019m not saying that those who do<\/em> embrace glitzy style on the 31st are basic or anything. If that feels new and fresh to you on the big night, then go for it! For me, though, I want to experiment with actually toning things down<\/em> and experimenting with a whole new fashion vibe all together.<\/p>\n

So what exactly should a glitzy fashion lover like myself wear when the countdown starts? I\u2019d say, start with considering the New Year\u2019s Eve vibe and location. I will be ringing in 2026 while watching Robyn perform her concert in Brooklyn, so I\u2019m thinking of channeling a more black, sheer, sexy vibe. I just so happen to have a mesh Jean Paul Gaultier top that is begging to be worn with my favorite black dress pants. To me, that feels like a look worth celebrating in\u2014stepping into 2026 with something I wouldn\u2019t typically wear, like a new fashion identity or a new version of myself. Plus, I can always slip right back into my sequins come January 1st.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
