With so many amazing options out there now, the struggle to pick out the best accessories to complete your New Year's Eve outfit is real. It can be overwhelming to cull through all the varieties of just one piece you're looking for. A search for velvet mini bag alone yields a crazy amount of results at different price points. No reason to fret, though—our editors did all the groundwork this season so put your mind at ease. We found the coolest picks from bags to necklaces, earrings, and even hair accessories for every budget so you don't have to.

When it comes to bags, it's all about an interesting fabric or finish. Think velvets, metallics and furry options as well. In the earrings department, the more whimsical the better with everything from crystal fringe to mini disco balls for your ears. For holiday necklaces, try a statement piece that you don't usually go for—layered chain-like pieces are your best bet. Now for the unique accessory we love this season: the embellished hair pin or clip. These designs can be the cherry on top for any look.

Scroll on to shop our editor-approved edit of the best New Year's Eve accessories of the season. The compliments will be endless come party time.
