New-Years-Eve-Fireworks

It’s New Years Eve in one week! We all know what that means, it’s time to start thinking about what we are going to wear for our celebrations! Many of us head out to parties and ring the new year in with our friends, while others like to stay in and watch the fireworks on TV, or some of us may have other traditions a little more unique and personal. One thing is certain and that’s the fact that we love to dress up! Jonathan, Jennifer and I have each put together an outfit (2 for women, 1 for men) which we think would be perfect for New Years Eve! They each have black denim in common too, so everyone should have a pair of black jeans or leather pants to work with! Happy New Year everyone!

Lorna’s Look

 

NYE outfit

When I think of New Year, I think of glitter, sequins and all things festive to give one last nod to the season and year. I love to go sparkly and make a statement, as I know many others do, so I chose these BLANK NYC Vegan Leather Jeans to start with as they give a lot more edge than regular black denim and I find them to be quite sexy and affordable.

I paired them with the Christian Louboutin Pigalle to keep the black theme running and lengthen the legs, then layered on this gorgeous H&M Sequin Top. I think it adds a nice touch of glitz, especially when paired with the Kate Spade Glitter Clutch as both tones complement each other! For the accessories, I opted for these T Tahari Red Crystal Earrings, this Snowflake Filigree Ring and this gorgeous Statement Necklace to play off the top. Finally, to round it all out, a nice touch of red with this beautiful Red Lipstick. I think this rounds out Christmas and 2015 perfectly! Do you like it too?

 

Jonathan’s Look

 

NYE Outfit

For my look, I wanted to go with a clean monochromatic look and all black will complement the glitzy looks that many ladies tend to prefer for the holiday. I chose the Nudie Lean Dean in Dry Cold Black as I personally own these jeans and they have a rise that offers the same clean feel that a pair of trousers would. I then paired it with a shirt by Tom Ford and shoes by Officine Generale. To finish the look off, I went for a belt by Margeila and a cuff by Le Gramme just to add a metallic shine to break it up just a bit.

 

Jennifer’s Look

My New Year’s plans are never too wild, usually just a small dinner party or gathering, so I wanted to style a look that was fun but not too over the top. Black and metallics are my favorite combination and always look so festive together, so I chose that color scheme for my outfit. I kept the basics black, pairing these J Brand skinny jeans with this Miss Selfridge crop top, then I added some glamour with this black and gold striped sweater from Balmain. In keeping with the black theme, I chose these pointed black Saint Laurent boots, that have a great chain detail. For accessories, I chose this Lulu Guinness clutch, and since there is so much else going on in the outfit, I added this simple Jennifer Fisher cigar ring for jewelry.
