New Year’s Eve has a way of bringing out the maximalist in anyone, even if it means going a little bolder with your accessories. With undeniably fun details ranging from sequins and velvet to fringe and feathers, no occasion does party dressing quite like this one. However, if you’re in the mood to dial it down a couple notches without losing the festive element or if you want something that feels a little more polished than the standard party dress, try wearing a sleek body-con dress this New Year’s Eve. Thanks to the resurgence of ’80s trends, specifically the fitted micro-minidress, wearing a chic body-con will feel entirely on trend. In fact, we couldn’t pick a better time than now to wear it.
Ready to start shopping? We’ve rounded up our favorite body-con dresses on the market for you to wear the big night, no matter what you have planned. Check them all out below.
