Eco Chic NYE Outfit
Party Outfit Formula:
LBD + Metallic Accessories + Colorful Jewels
Have your outfit for New Year’s?! No need to fret. Go shopping in your closet! I’m willing to bet you already have a tried and true LBD. Perfect. Now add shiny accessories and a pop of color. You’re good to go! Here’s some suggestions but your closet is your best first stop! As always, all recs here are animal-friendly. New animal leather is so out! Get into these eco chic brands making waves in the fashion industry with their fashion-forward designs that don’t so much as hurt a fly. Because hurting animals - or any living creature for that matter - isn’t chic.
Me likey Hunza G. A LOT. I’ve posted outfits featuring their LBD before because it’s a great, eco-friendly go-to. The crinkle fabric is flattering, comfy, and even bump friendly. Their dresses cost $175 and come in the prettiest array of colors, as well. But I’m partial to black because you’ll definitely get a ton of wear out of it. I like to add the pop of color for accessories and keep my outfit staples neutral, whenever possible, to allow for more opportunities to rewear. But no need to run out and buy this LBD - this is just a suggestion if you don’t already have an LBD. Always go shopping in your closet before buying new!
Same rule applies here: FIRST, dig in your closet for some shiny or classic black accessories for your party outfit. You can’t go wrong. If you don’t have anything, then it’s time to invest in these party staples that you’ll get ton of wear out of. A.W.A.K.E. MODE is an insanely chic brand to get into. Think, like Bottega but without the animal cruelty. And more unique. Unlike most vegan leather, A.W.A.K.E. uses eco-friendly materials that utilize organic recycled materials. Eco is the new chic!
Grab some colorful and/or sparkly jewelry in your closet for that NYE outfit POP. If you don’t have, it’s time to set aside some of your shopping budget to invest in something. Statement jewelry is something you’ll wear to infinite weddings, cocktail parties, and the like. No need for the real stuff. I actually prefer more-affordable (and more humane) man-made costume jewels because you can go bigger! Dainty jewelry is great for everyday, but I like to go big or go home when it’s time to party. Roxanne Assoulin has amazing crystal jewelry that will make a statement with any outfit, and they always use eco-friendly materials. Let’s start off the new year by making more conscious shopping choices!
