Choosing a style: find yourself on New Year’s Eve

Before you go in search of the perfect outfit, decide on your style. What do you want to be this evening? Elegant, mysterious, daring, or perhaps romantic?

Elegant

A classic little black dress, a satin suit, a long floor-length dress are ideal options for creating a sophisticated look. Complement it with elegant jewelry, a clutch and heels.

Boho

Light chiffon dresses, fringes, ethnic motifs — all this will create a romantic and free look. Add chunky bracelets and flat sandals to it. Boho style is characterized by the active use of floral motifs. And this can also be used to create images for New Year’s Eve. These can be traditional attributes of Christmas and New Year — a twig of a pine or Christmas tree or a spiked bramble, the red berries of which will definitely stand out against the background of the whole image, even in pastel shades.

Sporty

Overalls, sweatshirt and leggings with sequins or sequins are a bold and modern solution. Complete the look with sneakers or sneakers and a bright bag.

Romantic

To create a delicate and feminine look, we recommend using a fluffy skirt, a blouse with ruffles, a lace dress. Add elegant shoes to it to further emphasize the romantic mood.

Glamorous

A dress with a plunging neckline, sequins, feathers, long gloves is ideal for those who want to be the center of attention at any New Year’s party. Complete this look with massive jewelry.

Casual look

Jeans, a sweater with an interesting print, comfortable shoes — comfort and style can be perfectly combined. And then just add a bright jacket or vest to the look.

It is not necessary to play solo. In modern looks, it is advisable to combine elements of different styles. Massive boots will always go well with a light dress. A comfortable tracksuit can be a really interesting solution if you combine it with high-heeled shoes, etc.

Choosing colors and materials: create a festive mood

Clothing color plays an important role in creating a New Year’s look. Traditionally, red is believed to bring good luck, gold to bring wealth, and silver to bring elegance. However, of course, you can choose any color that you like and suit.

Traditionally, metallics, sequins, fringes, transparent fabrics, and velvet are actively used among the materials.

And remember that for a perfect look, it’s important to choose clothes by size, because every item must fit you perfectly. Also, don’t be afraid to experiment, because the New Year is a time for new looks. And most importantly, feel comfortable and confident, because without this, you will definitely not be able to create an image that will be truly memorable for a long time.

And even brightly colored underwear can improve your mood on winter days.

It is also important not to overload the image with a lot of bright colors. One or two accents will be enough. In the role of a bright element can also act as bracelets, necklaces or earrings. And it is better to emphasize something one — either bright clothes or makeup.

The main thing — do not be afraid to experiment! And you will definitely manage to create your own unique style and enjoy winter in bright colors.

The combination of warm orange and cold gray creates a contrasting and dynamic image. Since orange is quite active, it is better to base the image on a luxurious basic gray, and give orange the role of an interesting and bright accent.

Green+burgundy

This is a classic combination that always looks elegant and noble. The simplest formula is a comfortable knit dress in lush green and a leather belt in burgundy shade.

Green+yellow

To dispel the dreariness that is characteristic of this period of the year, try mixing green and yellow. Just imagine how much nicer it will be to welcome the first really cold days in yellow outerwear and a green stole.

Brown+white

Brown and white immediately create pleasant associations with latte. We are sure that this warm mix of colors will warm up not less than many people’s favorite drink.

Red+brown

Stole

Your lifesaver for the cold season is a stole. It is advisable to have several stoles in your fashion arsenal in your favorite colors. Believe me, they will easily enhance any of your fashion ideas. You can own just one basic coat and still look different every day by simply diluting your outfit with an interesting stole.

In addition to the traditional use, the stole can be tied on the head, thus creating a kind of turban. And with a slight movement of your hand, you have a stylish headdress. Stoles are also used to create layering. The only condition is that the closer it is to the portrait area, the more its shade should match the natural data.

Scarf

A thin stole is, of course, good, but on windy days, you can’t do without a warm scarf. It can be worn not only over outerwear but also indoors. A somewhat carelessly thrown scarf adds extra points to any look in terms of style.

Belt

In fact, you need a belt at any time of the year. But for the cold period, it is better to have several different thicknesses. A thin strap will allow you to make the most desirable X-shape in your look, even if your closet contains jackets, sweaters, and other items of an oversized cut. An alternative solution is a leather rope, which will also allow you to clearly draw a silhouette, but at the same time loudly declare yourself as the owner of a non-trivial taste.

Another belt should be wider and thicker to be worn with outerwear. If your coat is loose-fitting, but you want to emphasize your waist, then with the right belt, you will always be able to do it easily and stylishly.

Hats and knitted caps

Of course, what is autumn without a warm knitted hat? We recommend buying several at once – it’s not only stylish, but also comfortable. Hats of a wide variety of colors open up the look in a new way and even give the usual outerwear a much-desired novelty. In addition, this fashionable touch is a budget solution.

If you want to show your individuality in choosing a hat, we recommend buying a knitted cap.

Gloves

The skin of your hands always reacts sharply to the cold, so gloves will never hurt. In addition, such accessories play an important role in shaping the image. You can simply pick up bright gloves that will dilute the outerwear in dark colors. We also advise you to try a trendy way of wearing gloves this season. To do this, take a leather belt and fasten it to your outerwear at the waist. And then hang bright gloves on the belt. This is not only a good option for using these accessories when you need to take them off and simply have nowhere else to put them, but also an interesting stylistic way.

Autumn accessories are those simple additions that will give your wardrobe a signature style and allow you to show your personal taste. Be sure to take advantage of their advantages.

Maxi skirt+knitted cardigan 

We suggest starting with the simplest option — combine a vest with a top thing this season — a maxi skirt. Since the formula of this look is really very simple, throw a knitted cardigan on top for interesting accents. It will also be incredibly comfortable in such a meadow. It is better to choose models that have a number of buttons, and not to pinch them to the end both on the vest and on the cardigan. In this way, you will additionally get an interesting asymmetry and correct proportions.

Skirt+turtleneck

If the option with a cardigan seems too extravagant, try its classic formula — a skirt, a turtleneck and a vest. In this image, it is better to make the main emphasis on accessories. Choose an original pendant and bag to match the turtleneck — and you’re ready to conquer new heights.

White shirt+bottom with animal print 

Many stylists emphasize that a white shirt must be in every wardrobe. And this thing really simplifies the combination of stylish bows. And so that a white shirt with a classic vest does not have a fresh look, we recommend combining it with bottoms with an animal print. This season, at the peak of popularity, the leopard, but the zebra has an equally interesting look. The result will be an optimal balance, as a basic white shirt will allow you to calm down the active print a little. It is better not to pinch the vest and shirt and thus leave a little space in the neckline. 

White pants+white longsleeve 

A black and white outfit is a timeless classic. Such images have an incredibly stylish look. This is the case when you don’t need extra details to show off your good taste. The combination of a white longo and white pants will visually extend the silhouette, and the vest will become just that accent. 

Black ankle boots+black coat 

If you are planning to go outside, we recommend choosing a coat that is warm enough so that you don’t pinch it and thus be able to show off your vest. It is better that the shoes are of the same tone as the outerwear. 

Animal print dress+vest+bag 

We collect the image according to the principle of combining a white longsleeve, an accent pleated skirt, a vest and black shoes. And then we finish the image with a trench coat, a bright scarf and an interesting bag. 

White shirt+black pants and belt+vest+twilly+accent bag 

In this image, accessories also play a major role, since the formula of the bow is based on absolutely basic things. To reduce the formality a little, we recommend rolling up the shirt sleeves and not buttoning it all the way. The belt allows you to highlight the waist line. While twilly can be tied around the neck to visually extend the neck, or tied on a bag. 

Knitted striped dress+trench coat 

In the cold period of the year, knitted dresses are especially comfortable. So that a basic knitted dress really has an interesting look in images, choose a striped model. Just throw a vest on top and then a trench coat. 

White jeans with a shirt+vest+black shoes+interesting jewelry+chelsea shoes 

Since the vest carries a certain “official” mood, Chelsea boots and interesting accessories will allow you to relax the image. Add to the effect of the decoration, that the image will definitely be remembered for a long time. 

Jeans+long sleeve 

If you want to form the most simple bow, then combine the vest with the usual jeans and a basic longsleeve.

 Let the proposed options also be a good incentive for forming your own formulas with a vest.

Turtleneck

With the first cold weather, a turtleneck is necessary for creating multi-layered looks. The main thing is that the material is thin enough, but at the same time it holds its shape. Use the basic rule for creating multi-layered looks — each subsequent item should be denser than the previous one, to provide for the formation of the neat folds.

A turtleneck can be worn with blazers and jackets, under a sundress or with a vest. Just imagine how many stylish looks you can create with an ordinary basic turtleneck in your wardrobe.

You will definitely wear it often in the cold season, so it is worth having several of them. You can choose not only the base colors such as the usual white, gray, black and beige. Although, of course, they are the easiest to compile the outfits. Choose the base color taking into account your individual parameters — the shade that matches most of your clothes, beautifully emphasizes the portrait area, and you just like it.

Jumper

The next thing, which is also important in the wardrobe for the cold season, is a jumper. This clothing piece is no longer just an auxiliary element, but it can already play a key role in the look. It is optimal for the jumper to be rich in color and loose-fitting. Loose fit will allow you to create an interesting silhouette, and a bright shade will refresh the appearance.

Cardigan

When you have something to throw over your shoulders — this always brings an additional comfort. Choose a cardigan for this purpose, which will be an excellent replacement for a light jacket or a raincoat.

Sweater

Many people associate autumn with a knitted sweater with cable knits and a cup of warm drink. In addition to the feeling of comfort, this sweater looks spectacular in autumn outfits. The easiest way to create a memorable look is to choose a brightly colored sweater. But you can make the look more exquisite by playing with textures. For example, wear soft knitted sweater with leather pants and a skirt, durable jeans, etc. Then you can maintain a balance between comfort and a clear shape.

A knitted sweater will also allow you to wear elements of a summer suit in the cold season. In the fall, sets with light dresses and skirts, and a massive and bright sweater on top, look especially impressive.

To visually lengthen the silhouette, choose a model with a V-neck, classic shoulder seam and side slits. This recommendation is especially relevant for plus size.

For those who love fashion experiments

If you are not ready to stop at basic options, pay attention to a thin cardigan and models with open shoulders. A thin cardigan is always relevant, which means it is always a good investment. You can wear a T-shirt or a top under a thin cardigan to create a multi-layered look. And on particularly cold days, throw a jacket on top.

Knitted models with open shoulders are, of course, for special events. But such a thing should be in your wardrobe if you want to attract attention.

In the cold season, knitted items will definitely be your successful purchase. Replenish your wardrobe not only with basic models, but also with clothes with interesting accents. You can easily find them in the catalog of VOVK online store.
