The Unexpected Dress Trend Fashion Girls Will Wear This NYE
Though New Year’s Eve doesn’t come without its staples (e.g., sequins and velvet), there are always a few holiday-appropriate trends that come from the latest fall fashion shows. This year, we watched metallic pieces make their way down the runways and knew immediately that they’d be a holiday favorite. And while the futuristic trend—typically seen in a sleek silver or edgy gunmetal—feels like a neutral, in the warm hue of gold you have something entirely fresh (and luxurious). For this reason, we’re loving gold dresses for New Year’s Eve.
Among the various dress trends you could wear for the festive night, this is one that the rest of the world hasn’t caught onto yet, making it the unexpected look any fashion girl would love. Not only does this chic trend shine unlike any other, but when you’re wearing a gold dress, you’ll feel as though you have the Midas touch. It doesn’t get better than that. Ready to get in on this look? Scroll down to shop the best gold dresses that you’re bound to turn heads in.
Trust us—you'll be the coolest girl in the room.
