To recreate each look we gathered the key pieces and extra add-ons, ranging anywhere from under $100 to just below $500 (it is splurge season!).

SWING IN THE NEW YEAR WITH FRINGE

Keep your look monochromatic, and steer clear of tights-you want the focus to be on the skin-to-fringe contrast. Pull your hair back and let the fringe be the only thing free-flowing.

Shimmer Angelically

Go for a wintery look with a shimmering mini-dress paired with silver crisscross strappies. Go for a high neckline, which serves as a platform to show off your legs. Create loosely tousled curls and swipe on a creamy pink lip to keep your look frosty.

Experiment with Covered-Up Elegance

If you’re uneasy about trying winter-white, book-end it with black; it’s slimming and reassuring. To nail a winter-white look, you need to go with a hearty material. This fluted skirt is a blend of wool and angora. Bare a little tummy to break it up, and have your skirt and sweater slightly graze each other. Finally, add gold-tone cluster earrings.

TRY A NEW LBD SILHOUETTE: THE MIDI

Undeniably figure-flattering, this style is a no-brainer: all you need to do is add high-shine accessories. Throw on stackable rings á la Jennifer Lopez and, rather than piling them on one or two fingers, dress each finger with a thin shiny ring and add chunkier styles to your other hand. Keep hair loose.

Ring in The New Year Monochromatically

Your coat is a key piece in this look. The trick here is all about the shade. Either match your colors perfectly or purposely go for separates that aren’t of the same tone but work together.

STAND OUT IN ALL WHITE

Layer an elongated blazer over a lace-top tank and tapered trousers for a sexy-sophisticated look. To keep it refined, team with pointy-toe stilettos and a red lip, but effortlessly roll up your sleeves like Zoe Saldana to achieve a chic, party-ready look.
