What are you wearing for NYE?

[goingmadinthecountry]

We're going to a party at friends' house - will maxi dress be OK? It's gold-ish jersey from Phase 8. I'm 53. Alternatives are black dress (knee length, yawn) or sequin skirt and black top, again a bit yawn. Would happily chop maxi dress to mid calf??? Was bought for James Bond party at an outlet so not special.

Pretty please help - am really not good at this. Have already worn my favourite red dress with exact same friends this Christmas so want a change.

The link doesn't work but the dress sounds lovely and I would always rather wear colour than black. Are you worried you might be overdressed?

Our Hogmanay sounds similar and I'm wearing a black with red circles maxi dress from Hobbs that I bought on ebay a while ago. I'm 38 if that matters. I think your dress sounds nice. Although I have to admit I'm not very fashionable and I couldn't tell you what's in or not!

Loads of layers. Will be outside watching fireworks with only Mulled wine for warmth.

For the record I will be wearing leopard print pyjamas and a contented smile as I relax in front of the fire with DH and a bottle of champagne.

Pyjamas!

It's my birthday today so I'm planning on buying a dress at H&M (only decent and affordable shop around here). Not too dressy (no-one dresses up in this country ) but something to make me feel special.

Your dress sounds lovely. Why chop it?

For the first time in years I have no plans for NYE. I'm actually quite relieved! So I shall probably be curled up on the sofa in a cosy jumper, leggings and slippers.

Although we might pop over the road to the pub for a quick drink. In which case, I will probably wear dark skinny jeans, heels and a pretty top, possibly a navy blouse with gold threads I bought recently from M&S.

Slippers for me too or maybe even crocs . My son is going out so I don't have to. Bliss.

Op, the gold dress sounds lovely op and I'd be careful of cutting it down - I've done it a couple of times and it never looked quite right. You can never be overdressed on New Years Eve.

My leisure pants. And no bra.

Happy New Year.

This dress Out for drinks and a meal. Last chance to go full on sparkle until next Christmas so I am going for it

Pajamas, enjoying a celebratory box of tissues and nurofen cold and flu tablets 😣

Pyjamas. I'm obviously sick.

Happygirl- love that dress!

Staying in for a nice dinner with DH and the DCs - got sparklers, glow sticks and some games and might watch a film while we stay up for the bells. I'm going to wear a gold sequin mini skirt with navy opaque tights and navy jumper and faux fur coat for the outside bits...and my furry slipper boots

Uniform

Literally just decided to go out, so will need something a bit better than my PJs and slippers.

Only to the local pub, so doubt anybody will be overly dressed up. I'll either go for a black velvet bodycon dress if I decide to glam up a bit, or skinnies or a black mini and heeled ankle boots if not.

Pjs!

Thanks holly - been desperate to wear it for weeks

Oh don't chop the dress. It will be really tricky to get it straight and obvious you've hacked at it in a "what shall I wear?" last minute panic. .

I'm of the age where I'd be worried about feeling cold in a maxi dress? Does it have arms? I'd be tempted to go for the black top and sequin skirt I think.

Black leather mini skirt, opaques, grey fitted T-shirt. Boots and jacket.

Op I think either gold (not chopped!) or sequins for NYE will go down well.

I think everyone should go glam: gold, giltter, black velvet, sequins.That includes all you too-cool-to-dress up Londoners.

(I'm still in pyjamas and have no plans to change )

I bet they're particularly stylish PJs though, Flo.

Floisme Yes I'm dishing out fashion tips with every intention of watchingJools Holland in a fluffy dressing gown later.
Op, if you feel comfortable wearing a gold dress, go for it. If you think you'll feel self conscious and a bit overdressed, go for the skirt. It depends what the party will be like. A lot of sitting around chatting in someone's front room won't show off your maxi dress like standing up or dancing the night away would.
