12 great NYE dress ideas via @waitingonmartha

If your NYE plans involve a toast-worthy party, a winter wedding or a fantastic dinner at your favorite steakhouse, you’ll want a NYE dress to impress, right?!  I’ve spent a handful of years with tickets to festive parties downtown on the big night, and I’ve always waited until the last minute to figure out what on earth I was going to wear.  

So if you’re like me, today’s post is for you.  I rounded up a nice little range of glamorous, gorgeous and figure-flattering NYE dress options you’re going to want to check out.  I typically gravitate to the long-sleeved dresses (can we talk about this one?!) this time of year (unless I’m diligent with applying my nontoxic sunless lotion…a product I could write a whole post about because it’s THAT good).  But this year, I want to include a few strappy numbers (like this one) to consider as well.  I’m also intrigued with the idea of wearing a jumpsuit to be a little different in a sea of sequins (this one is stunning).  Tell me, what look are you going for on NYE?!  Cheers, Kat

Sure, this tailored trouser jumpsuit is no dress.  But we’d say it’s the perfect update the usual NYE dress scene.  With a sweetheart neck bodice with interior boning, you’ll be comfortable and confident all night long. 

Ruffled Georgette-Trimmed Guipure Lace Mini Dress

Self Portrait, $475

Per Self Portrait’s standard, this dress simply has the loveliest details.  It’s an intricate, feminine piece cut from the signature geometric guipure lace with a contrasting circle pattern at the décolletage, arms and waist.  And to top it off, the playful fluted hem creates the statement we’re going for this NYE. 

Cotton Romper

Adelyn Rae, $118

Another alternative option for a NYE dress, this illusion neck romper shows off your gams with a lacy effect.  The embroidered appliqué over mesh netting makes it look comparable to dresses and jumpsuits triple the price, too. 

Sanders Satin Dress

Ganni, $270

Shop Now >

I’m such a fan of this understated, yet updated LBD.  The dress creates that liquid, effortless drape in its lustrous black satin cut on a bias.  I’d wear this with a pair of statement earrings and heels for a cool, nonchalant feel among the sea of sequins on NYE. 

Draped Hammered-Charmeuse Dress

Protagonise, $480

lustrous hammered-charmeuse, this fluid dress has thin spaghetti straps and a draped neckline that elegantly frames your décolletage. Wear it with heels in the evening or layered over a turtleneck sweater at the office.

Draped Stretch-Lamé Mini Dress

Brin Off the Shoulder Jumpsuit

Jay Godfrey, $540

Okay, another non-dress option, but this one is too good not to include.  With a sweeping off-the-shoulder neckline, flattering seams and wide-leg trousers, this white jumpsuit will truly make you the belle of the ball. 

Hadlie Two Sheath Dress

DVF, $428

DVF knows how to do it, and she proves it once again with this crackled golden sheath dress.  It’s perfectly tailored for a clean, timeless look that will never, ever go out of style during the holidays. 

Layla Pleat Slipdress

Bardot, $89

Bare a little skin in this shimmery and slinky slipdress.  The dress’ plissé pleats and strappy neck and back details are not for the faint of heart this time of year, but will pay off ten-fold with a great spray tan and glass in-hand.
