It is said that purple is the color of royalty, and we’re sure that dresses in this noble hue will make you the Queen of New Year’s Eve. Close enough to black to give an air of sleek sophistication while unique enough to stand out this holiday season, purple is taking the crown.

Shimmering and bright, your gold dress is sure to outshine the spotlight. Gold could be considered the official color of New Year’s Eve, with your party’s decor sure to complement your brilliant look.

If you’re feeling truly in the holiday spirit, green is your go-to choice for the season’s festivities. Pair this natural-hue with black heels and a gold clutch for a look that’s sure to draw compliments all New Year’s Eve long.

You and the New Year’s Eve ball drop will be a match made in holiday heaven in these silver, shimmering numbers. The brighter, the better is the rule when it comes to this hue. It’s begging to be taken out for a night on the town. 

For gold with an added touch, try its feminine counterpart: rose gold. When paired with silver heels and accessories, you can have the best of both worlds with this holiday look.
