If you can’t go all out on New Year’s Eve, then when can you? The one night a year you can wear feathers or sequins, velvet or satin, either separately or all at once, and no one can say a thing, it’s the best opportunity to wear the party dress of your dreams.
As perhaps the one occasion when the rules of buying a versatile wardrobe staple that you’ll wear all the time goes out the window, it’s the sole instance when investing in an all-out showstopper that will likely live in your collection for a few years before its next outing is acceptable. If your wardrobe is already overflowing but you still want to wear something new for the event, perhaps you could try renting from the likes of Selfridges, or By Rotation.
