Below are eight outfit ideas for every kind of celebration, plus tips on shoes and staying warm. Find all our shine in sparkling sequins.

Shoes, layers and the cold
- Shoes: you will probably stand and dance for hours. Choose a heel you can walk in, or bring flats in your bag for the way home.
- A coat for midnight: if you go outside for fireworks, bring a warm coat. Our guide to women's winter coats can help you choose.
- Keep sequins simple: with a sequin or rhinestone piece, keep jewelry small and the rest of the outfit plain.
