What’s better than starting the new year right with new clothes?

The new year is about to begin, and you want to come into 2022 looking hot at the party. However, you may have plans to stay in instead, and that’s okay. You can still start a new year looking cozy and fancy all at once.

Don’t feel like dressing up this New Year’s Eve? Here are a few ways to dress down and still be ready for a new year. Although, if you’re Latinx, you may have a traditional way to dress on New Year’s.

Dressing Down

According to reports, some Brazilians wear all white from head to toe, then jump seven waves and float flowers in the ocean when the clock strikes 12, for peace and prosperity. If you are a Latinx that follows this tradition or anything similar, check out these outfits for the new year listed below.

Were you thinking about staying in with the family, friends, or solo because you must work the next day? Then, an all-white ribbed lounge set from Lulus is a go-to. Not only is it cozy, but it also hugs your body and distinguishes the curves in all the right places.

You can even get away with it as an outfit to go out in.

It is a fact that leggings are a girl’s best friend, why you may ask? They are basic, they go with everything, and they’re easy to slip in. Match a pair of leggings with an oversize sweatshirt and sneakers, and you’ll be comfortable all night long.

Dressing Up

It’s the New Year which means the temperatures are dropping or have already dropped unless you live in Hawaii. A faux fur coat will have you feeling warm and fancy when going out.

Combine a white faux fur coat with a white dress from H&M and high heels or boots, and call it a night out on the town.
