The One NYE Dress That Will Never Go Out of Style

Among all the different types of dresses you could wear for New Year’s Eve, there’s one that will always—and we mean always—look good: a black dress. Look, we have nothing against wearing vibrant, colorful dresses as you ring in the New Year, but if you find yourself to be a minimalist to your core or you’re in a pinch to find a chic dress for the night, you can’t go wrong with a quality LBD.
Whether you’re looking for simple but classic silk slip dress or are planning to take the opportunity to go full-on festive with sequins or velvet, this is one dress trend we’ll never get tired of. Style these black dresses with a faux-fur coat if it’s freezing out, or wear a cool pair of combat boots to toughen up your party look. The choice is yours. Now, scroll down to shop the best NYE-appropriate black dresses to wear as you welcome 2019 with panache.
The crystal straps make this perfect for a party.
When the party's over, wear these for your next formal occasion.
