Disco Night Dilemmas: What to Wear New Year's Eve

Once we make it through the Christmas wrapping and leftovers, the talk turns to New Year's.  For some New Year's Eve is the year's hottest ticket of the year and for others (and sometimes, for me) it's a night preferably spent in the comforts of your own home.

This year, however, we've decided on the Thompson Hotel's NYE 2011 party.  Now the talk turns to what do I wear?  Here are a few ideas:

  • Go to the experts: For sparkle perfection, check out Carlie Wong's holiday 2010 collection.
  • Go custom:  No one will be wearing what you're wearing if you're wearing Pam Chorley's Fashion Crimes.  Dresses are made-to-measure from a wide selection of styles and fabrics.  Order in person or online. 
  • Go for what's left:  Take advantage of Greta Constantine's sample & moving out sale this Wednesday, December 29th, 11am - 5:30pm
But if planning ahead isn't your style, you can always go with a reliable staple of any wardrobe: the little black dress.  How you wear it depends on where you wear it, and on New Year's feel free to go big.

Embrace elegance with elbow-length gloves.  Holt Renfrew carries a wide selection and the Winter Sale could net you up to 70% off.  Feathers and fur are everywhere, so throw on a fur collar or feather headband.  To finish it off, I recommend a fantastic set of earrings (like those carried by ukamaku) and a patterned pair of tights with heels.  Remember the simple rule - accessories make the LBD whatever you want it to be.  


Above all, it helps to be comfortable and warm.  It makes that search for a taxi after midnight much more enjoyable.

Happy New Year's!
