A New Year's Eve outfit doesn't need to be all bells and whistles. Sure, you can grab your go-to sparkly dress or a shimmery sequin skirt, but if that's just not the direction you're wanting to go this year, that's fine. Instead, you can go a simple route and build your look around a pair of tried-and-true jeans. You can easily dress them up if the occasion calls for it. Or, you can go a cozier direction by throwing your favorite statement coat on top. Regardless of how you style your light- or dark-wash denim, one thing's for sure: A New Year's Eve outfit with jeans is equal parts cool, chic, and comfortable.
