As New Year's Eve approaches, it's time to start planning your outfit for the most glamorous night of the year. Whether attending a more sophisticated event, clubbing in New York City, or just spending time with your friends, your jewelry choices can elevate your look, helping you bring some sparkle into 2025. This style guide will give tips for pairing your jewelry pieces with strapless, one-shoulder, and black dresses and complete outfit ideas to ensure you step into 2025 with style and confidence.
Styling Tips for Strapless Dresses:
Strapless dresses are a popular choice for any look, especially on New Year's Eve. Timeless yet trendy, they can be dressed up or down for a night out on the town or a fancy dinner. Offering a black canvas, strapless dresses are the perfect way to showcase stunning jewelry pieces this New Year's Eve.
1. Statement Necklaces:
New Year's Eve is perfect for showing off your favorite statement necklaces. Wearing a strapless dress helps create the ideal frame for a statement necklace. Opt for bold, eye-catching pieces like our Sweetheart Necklace or Superstar Necklace to wear with a strapless dress. Their eye-catching designs will draw attention to your neckline, adding a touch of drama to an often basic look.
2. Delicate Chokers:
Choose a delicate choker for a more toned-down look this New Year's Eve. Our Snake Chain Necklace offers a minimalist yet sophisticated touch that complements the bare neckline of a strapless dress. Adding a touch of gold to your New Year's Eve look guarantees you'll stand out this holiday!
3. Dangling Earrings:
Bare necklines create excellent opportunities to showcase a pair or two of your favorite earrings. Bold Statement earrings like our Gold Bow Hoops, Rockstar Hoops, and Amour Gold Heart Hoops can add more excitement to your look by adding a touch of sparkle.
4. Elegant Bracelets:
Remember to add some sparkle to your wrists! We recommend trying a more minimalist bracelet stack with your look. Our Valencia gold chain bracelet is the perfect dainty gold chain to complete your New Year's Eve look. Its toned-down aesthetic ensures that it won't overpower the other jewelry styled with your dress while helping to add a bit of sparkle to your wrists.
Styling Tips for One-Shoulder Dresses:
One-shoulder dresses are stylish and unique, making them the perfect choice to make a statement on New Year's Eve. Because of their asymmetrical design, they require a thoughtful approach to jewelry. We recommend styling your single-shoulder dresses with more minimalist jewelry pieces, which add a touch of sophistication to your look without taking attention away from your outfit.
1. Minimalist necklaces:
Complement the unique look of a one-shoulder dress with a more minimalist jewelry style. Our Sea Isle Necklace and Snake Chain necklaces offer the perfect toned-down pieces to add charm to your New Year's Eve dress.
2. Earrings:
Pair your one-shouldered dress with a minimalist pair of earrings. Because of the unique look of a single-shouldered dress, there's no need to draw attention to your ears, making it an excellent opportunity to wear your favorite pair of simple gold earrings. Consider our Ibiza hoops or our Santorini hoops, the perfect minimalist hoops that can take your New Year's Eve look over the top.
3. Gold Bracelets:
With one arm highlighted by the asymmetry of a single-shouldered dress, wear sleek gold bracelets that won't compete with the dress's asymmetry. A single elegant, gold-plated bracelet like our St. Vincent Gold Beaded Bracelet can make you sparkle without overwhelming your look.
Styling Tips for Black Dresses:
Due to its versatility and timeless elegance, a black dress is a New Year's Eve staple. It provides the perfect backdrop for various jewelry styles, allowing you to experiment with different looks. Go the minimalist route by wearing muted, simple gold pieces, or go the maximalist route, where you prioritize wearing bold statement pieces and stacking various jewelry to create a unique, personalized look.
1. Keep it colorful, and add vibrant jewelry styles to your look:
Black dresses offer a perfect opportunity to wear jewelry pieces showcasing vibrant colors. Our *Sweetheart Necklace" and Eye candy necklace add the perfect pop of pink to any all-black look, helping you stand out this New Year's Eve.
2. Mix it up by combining different textures of jewelry:
Don't be afraid to combine different textured chains when accessorizing a black dress this New Year's Eve. Mixing bolder chains, like thick paperclip chains, Ball chains, or Mariners Chains, with more toned-down chains, like snake chains or cable chains, can add depth and interest to your outfit. Styling our Celestial Spaces Necklace with our gold snake necklace and Your's Truly necklace can offer a stylish way to incorporate different textures into your look.
3. Stay Stacked with Layered Jewelry Looks:
If you've read any of our previous blog articles, you'd know we love stacking gold jewelry pieces together. Whether you prefer to layer your bracelets, necklaces, or even earrings, stacking your jewelry can take the look of a simple black dress to the next level. Create a chic and modern stacked jewelry look with our Santorini gold-plated bracelet stack, or create your own with our variety of gold bracelets, necklaces, and earrings.
