No matter what you wear don’t be afraid to go for some daring designs. There’s something stunning about backless drapes, dangerously high slits, or plunging V necklines (just make sure your outfit doesn’t have all three combinations :).

Any outfits can be spiced up with the right accessories; a killer pair of heels, a statement necklace, or a standout hairpiece. As for footwear, try to avoid pumps with clear platforms…you don’t want to look like you’re ringing in the New Year on the pole. Also the trick to getting those extra long legs is to avoid heels with straps around the ankles. Unless you are tall and slender, straps around ankles cuts off your legs and makes you look shorter. If you decide to wear a statement necklace, pair it with studs or anything small. When choosing a hairpiece for your NYE outfit, go for sparkles, sparkles, and more sparkles. Just don’t pair a standout hairpiece with a statement necklace. Remember, when it comes to accessorizing, less is more.

Finally, make sure your hair creates the perfect complement to your outfit. We’re talking updo’s to accentuate bare backs, asymmetrical necklines, and side-parted flowing tresses to emphasize deep V’s.  What will you be wearing?
