It’s hard to believe that New Year’s Eve is only a week and a half away! It feels like just yesterday I was setting my 2022 goals and reorganizing our home. I don’t think it will come as a surprise to find out I love a fun New Year’s Eve party! I mean, what’s not to love? You get to dress up, visit with friends and celebrate another 365 days of life. Of course, getting dressed up is one of my favorite parts! There are so many beautiful New Year’s Eve outfits to choose from this year that I decided to do a fun roundup of my favorites. Today I’m sharing 22 New Year’s Eve outfit ideas for 2022. I’ve included everything from shoes and handbags to dresses and pants. I hope you find some NYE outfit inspiration in this post to make the night extra-magical!
Classic New Year’s Eve Outfit Ideas
I have so much fun putting together classic and dressy outfits for my blog. But, just as often as I’m dressed up, you can find me dressed down in comfortable activewear or loungewear. I think what makes picking out a New Year’s Eve outfit so special is the fact that it is typically something we don’t wear often. I know it’s sometimes tempting to throw on sweatpants and spend the night lounging at home (and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that!) But, I also think if you take a little extra time and energy to wear something special and do your hair and makeup, you’ll be so grateful you did!
New Year’s Eve Outfits for Every Budget
If you’ve recently found yourself looking for some New Year’s Eve outfit ideas, I’m here to help! I’ve browsed through many of my favorite brands in search of NYE outfit inspiration this year and I’m excited to share my favorite finds. I’ve tried to include a variety of outfit types and items at different price points. For the most part, these New Year’s Eve outfits are on the fancier side, but you could always dress down a fancy top with a pair of nice jeans and flats. I have also included accessories such as embellished headbands, beaded purses and fun earrings to complete the look. I hope you’re able to find something special that makes you feel confident and beautiful as you ring in the new year!
1. Black and White Gown
I had to kick off the New Year’s Eve outfit ideas with this stunner! It really doesn’t get any more perfect than this black and white gown. It is a very formal dress and the price tag is hefty, but if it’s within your budget, it’s gorgeous!
2. Classic Emerald Green Dress
The shape and style of this New Year’s Eve dress is sophisticated and classic. It’s truly one of those dresses you could pull out of the closet in 10 years and it would still be just as beautiful then as it is today. Plus, the emerald green color is stunning!

The pearl handle on this black crossbody purse takes its sophistication to the next level! Not only is this a wonderful purse to complete any New Year’s Eve outfit, but it would look equally as cute dressed down with jeans and it’s very affordable.

If dresses aren’t your thing, there are tons of pretty tops that are just as wonderful for New Year’s Eve.
