4 Trends to Try on New Year’s Eve

In partnership with our friends at ba&sh

In terms of translating to the real world, runway trends tend to skew too conceptual, too fanciful—the sort of thing only Billy Porter can pull off. Recently, however, pieces walking off the catwalk feel more approachable than in seasons past. Below, four of-the-moment trends—shine, minis, cutouts, and pajamas—and how to style them on the most fun night out of the year.

DISCO SCHTICK

Counting down at the club? A floral maxi goes from bohemian to ball-drop-ready when woven with metallic threads that catch the (strobe) light. Ramp it up with Studio 54–inspired extras, like a fur coat à la Lauren Hutton and shimmery eye shadow swept across your lids.

MINI SERIES

Hiked hemlines are having a moment right now, and this satin baby doll dress is the chicest way to show some leg. Add patterned tights and a wool coat for warmth, then finish with black accessories, like a cult-favorite clutch and Chelsea boots (they keep the look from leaning too sweet).

BEACH, PLEASE

If you’re the kind of person who flies closer to the equator at the first sign of freezing weather, we see you. Some packing suggestions: a string bikini to splash around in, a patterned set with peekaboo cutouts, and a low-maintenance beauty routine you can blend with your fingers.

SLEEPER HITS

Besides the lack of cover charge, bathroom lines, and strangers spilling champagne on you, the best part about ringing in 2022 at home? Pajamas count as party clothes, your phone doesn’t have to fit in your clutch, and you can kick off your heels at the end of the night without getting any side-eye.
