The Best Tops for New Year's
Let’s talk about New Year’s—a time when people usually gather together to celebrate the beginning of a new chapter, toasting with champagne flutes, saying goodbye to the past, and looking forward to what lies ahead. Since this year we certainly won't be celebrating in a similar manner, we see no reason why you shouldn't still dress up in the comfort of your own home as you ring in the new year. Creating an entire look for New Year’s is stressful enough and this year, semi unnecessary, so why not focus on adding just one item that can elevate any outfit with glitter, sequins, satin, velvet, and more? We're calling this the New Year's top.
When you’re not feeling a dress, jumpsuit, or two-piece set, there's always a dependable top to guide your outfit in the right direction. Try wearing a festive top with relaxed vintage denim and strappy heels, or for a bolder look, wear it with leather leggings and lace-up boots. You can also create a monochrome look, add a sequin jacket, or throw on a fuzzy, faux-fur coat to top off your celebratory New Year’s outfit. Pair it with black skinny jeans, split denim, a silk skirt, or even biker shorts.
The options are endless with a fun, playful statement top for New Year’s, but we’ve rounded up the best ones for the occasion. Keep scrolling, and shop our favorite tops that will stand out at any New Year’s celebration, whatever it may look like this year.
From Thanksgiving to New Years, put this in your holiday-top rotation.
