New Years Eve Outfit Ideas for all the Sustainable Style Queens out there
Are you excited for NYE? Oh my gosh. Getting dressed up for New Year’s Eve is always exciting, whether attending a glamorous party or celebrating with family in the comfort of your home.
It’s a time to reflect on the past year and look forward to the upcoming year. What better way to do that than with the perfect outfit that makes you feel confident and ready to take on the world?
With so many options, choosing the perfect New Year’s Eve outfits can be overwhelming. I wanted to write this post to show how many outfits can be found secondhand, especially for the Christmas holidays.
So, if you prefer a classic little black dress or something more daring like a sequin jumpsuit, there’s a New Year’s Eve outfit out there for everyone.
And the best part? Shopping secondhand won’t break the bank or the planet and you’ll still look fabulous.
Why Dress Sustainably for New Year’s Eve?
There is a growing trend of sustainable and secondhand fashion which reflects a shift in the consumer’s shopping habits. A lot of people seem to be heading towards more environmentally friendly fashion choices. Which is great!
When you choose secondhand items, you are contributing to a reduction in the environmental impact of the fashion industry. This approach also avoids the potential exploitation associated with new garment production.
Beyond its positive environmental and ethical aspects, shopping for preloved pieces offers affordability, unique one of a kind style finds, and an opportunity to support local businesses and charities.
Here are the best & easiest secondhand NYE outfits to find. I have included some beaut example pieces from Secondhand Styling UK.
The Little Black Dress (LBD)
When it comes to New Year’s Eve outfits, Little Black Dresses (LBD) are always a winner. A timeless piece that can be dressed up or down, perfect for NYE outfits.
I always find timeless and elegant pieces in thrift stores which would be perfect for NYE.
A great example is this gorgeous Karen Millen Dress in a size 8 from Secondhand Styling UK (SHSUK).
Sequin Dresses
A sequin dress is the perfect New Year’s Eve outfit. It’s glamorous, eye-catching, and perfect for dancing the night away. You can choose from a range of styles, including mini skirts, bodycon, A-line, and maxi dresses.
The most sustainable sequins to buy are secondhand as they already exist. Statement pieces like sequinned jackets and dresses are always a great find in the local vintage stores.
Take a look at this gorgeous Fransa sequin dress which is available from Secondhand Styling UK and is brand new with tags in a size S/M.
Velvet Dresses and Jumpsuits
Velvet dresses and jumpsuits are a great option for those who want to make a statement. A velvet dress is perfect for a formal event, while a jumpsuit is a chic and modern alternative.
I love velvet because it tends to keep you warm in cold weather too.
Look for black timeless velvet pieces like this Fransa Dress from Secondhand Styling UK.
Blazer with Trousers
If you prefer to wear trousers, you can still dress up with dressy tops or a blazer. Wide-leg jeans or leather pants are a trendy option that can give you a stylish and comfortable look.
You can pair them with a sequin blazer in a contrasting colour for a bold look, or a blazer in a matching colour for a more cohesive look. Alternatively choosing sequinned flares gives that 70’s vintage look like these trousers are available in sizes 8-12.
Maxi Dress Glamour
If you want to make a statement at your New Year’s Eve party, why not opt for a glamorous maxi dress? These dresses are perfect for those who want to look elegant and sophisticated while still feeling comfortable and stylish.
So many charity shops and thrift stores have dedicated sections for evening wear. Dig deep and you might just find your perfect dress.
Midi Dress Elegance
For a more understated look, a midi dress could be the perfect choice. These dresses are versatile and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. You could choose a simple, plain midi dress in a neutral colour such as black or navy.
If you’re feeling extra fancy look for something more eye-catching with a pattern or texture like this Chi Chi London dress below.
Mini Skirt Fun
If you’re looking for the perfect excuse for something fun and playful this New Year’s Eve, a mini skirt or mini dress could be the perfect choice. These skirts are perfect for dancing the night away and showing off your legs.
You could choose a simple, plain mini skirt in a bright colour such as red or green, or go for something more playful with a pattern or texture.
Stylish Co-ords
Co-ords are a great option for NYE party outfits. These matching sets are available in a variety of styles, from sleek and sophisticated to fun and playful.
For a more formal event, a satin or velvet co-ord set is a great choice.
Alternatively, a metallic co-ord set is perfect for those who want to fit in with the latest trends. This rose gold metallic co-ord is available in size S/M.

Shop Rose Gold Metallic Trousers
Jumpsuits for New Year’s Eve
Jumpsuits are another great option for those who want to look stylish this holiday season. These one-piece wonders are available in a variety of styles, from wide-legged to fitted.
For a more formal event, a fitted jumpsuit is a great choice.
Look for one with a plunging neckline or cut-out details to add some interest to your outfit. A great example is this fitted jumpsuit from SHSUK.
The Style Cycle’s Top Tips:
To add something a little extra to these outfits you could make a statement with faux leather or add a touch of glamour with faux fur jackets and coats. For a chic and effortless look, consider piece sets that effortlessly combine style and comfort.
As you navigate the rest of the year, keep your wardrobe versatile with straight-leg jeans, graphic t-shirts, and cozy sweaters. For those special moments, the allure of white tops and elegant shift dresses remains unparalleled.
Remember, the key to a stylish ensemble is not just the outfit itself but the confidence and comfort it brings.
So, embrace your individuality, showcase your ultimate style, and step into the upcoming year with fashion choices that make you the star of every show.
Cheers to a fashionable and fabulous New Year!
