There's no stopping our immense anticipation for a fresh start this New Year's Eve—and, after a year that brought back maximalist style, a chance to pull out our most over-the-top pieces in celebration. Whether gathering with close friends and family or dressing up just for the fun of it, L'OFFICIEL pulls inspiration from past years to help you end 2021 on a glamorous note.

Start the year with pure energy by playing into angelic aesthetics. Lighter shades are a good place to start, but go all-in with playful feather or fur accents and shimmering beading.

Sequins Galore

Sequins are a go-to New Year's fashion choice, so don't be afraid to shine as you count down the last seconds of 2021. Stay subtle with a few sparkly accents or make a statement with fully-embellished pieces.

After spending the year in sweatsuits, take full advantage of New Year's festivities to don short hems, cut-outs, and backless styles.

If your New Year's look feels incomplete, an eye-catching necklace is the perfect way to tie things together. From pearls to diamonds to layered chains, a little jewelry can rev up even the most minimalist pieces.
