Top dress picks for New Year's Eve 2025 or office party
For New Year's Eve 2025, your outfit should not only be stylish but also match the festive atmosphere. It's important to consider the type of celebration you'll attend: formal, family-oriented, friendly, or corporate.
RBC-Ukraine shares tips on selecting dresses for a New Year's party or a corporate event with colleagues.
Knit dress
If a small office gathering is planned, you can opt for a less formal outfit. A mini dress with interesting details - such as a collar, ruffles, asymmetric cut, or translucent inserts - can add a playful touch to your look.
Complete the outfit with high suede boots in a contrasting color and a long coat.
You can also consider a maxi-length dress. Pair it with high heels, statement jewelry, and a small bag.

Dress with plunging neckline
If you're invited to a restaurant event, choose a dress with a V-neckline and a deep plunge. For instance, a black dress is a timeless classic. You can enhance it with bright accessories or jewelry. A black dress never goes out of style and always looks elegant.

Dress with translucent elements
Another option for celebrating New Year’s is a dress with translucent details. For example, sleeves made of semi-transparent fabrics like chiffon or organza can create an airy and delicate look. This is an excellent choice for elegant corporate parties or evening events.
Alternatively, the upper part of the dress can be made from dense fabric, while the skirt can feature tulle or chiffon, adding a touch of lightness.

Printed dress
For New Year's Eve or a party, you can choose a dress with a vibrant print. If you're not a fan of trendy animal prints, consider dresses with leafy or floral patterns. Pair such a dress with earrings and a statement choker necklace.
