A pair of pleated satin pants
That'll have you shining even brighter than the midnight fireworks. These babies are lightweight, luxurious, and downright gorgeous.
Promising review: "Totally in love, my new favorite pants. Fits as expected and very comfortable, and at the same time looks elegant." — marisol
An oversize turtleneck dress
If your next party requires you to wear a dress but you don't want to sacrifice warmth and comfort. Reviewers rave about how comfy this one is, so you'll get the best of both worlds — you'll look totally chic while staying cozy, too.
Promising review: "I have very sensitive skin, and the fabric doesn’t make my skin itchy. It’s very thick and cozy." — Michelle
A sequined mini dress
Because whats a winter party without some glam and sparkle? It has an open back, bell sleeves, and best of all, sequins more dazzling than a disco ball.
Promising review: "This dress is the perfect party dress. Usually, sparkly dresses are scratchy on the inside, but this dress is soooo soft. I got a lot of compliments on my dress as well!" — Alexa Bateman
A pair of sheer tights
Promising review: "I needed these for a conference, and the temperature was below 20 degrees outside. These stockings kept my legs pretty warm. I also like the color, which was really close to my skin complexion. I wore a pencil skirt over these, and I like how it was a control top already built in with the stockings, so I didn't need to add extra Spanx." — Brook L
Or a pair of fleece-lined tights
For those who don't get enough warmth from normal sheer tights. Reviewers love how they're not bulky even though they're extremely warm and fuzzy.
Promising review: "They look sheer but are actually warm and cozy inside. Perfect for cold weather and still stylish. The material is stretchy, soft, and very comfortable to wear all day. I love how they fit and keep me warm without being bulky. Totally recommend." — Lisseth Zelaya
Or!!! A pair of colored stockings
Promising review: "I haven't been happy with a pair of tights in so long — they fit better than most tights. These are extraordinarily comfortable and super elastic — I can either leave them at my hips or raise them over my stomach. I bought purple, and the color and opacity are exactly as I expected. I'm picking up wine red and black next." — Rexcalibur
An oversize sweater
Because you need something chic, warm, and comfy as you await the ball drop and fireworks. It features chunky ribbed cuffs and oh-so-soft fabric that'll feel like a blanket draped around your body.
Promising review: "I really found this sweater to just be the perfect oversize feel with the fall cozy vibes. It is sooo soft, and I am super pleased with it!" — Sabriya Dobbins
A collarless jacket
That blends the style of a cardigan and coat — and somehow manages to look casual yet elegant at the same time. You can either wear it open or use the adjustable waist-tie to cinch it together — the choice is yours, my friend.
A satin pleated dress
Because it'll drape over you ever so gracefully. It's shiny, elegant, and bold. What more could you ask for in an evening dress?
Promising review: "The dress was beautiful! I ordered this dress for my son's wedding, and it did not disappoint. I received so many compliments that evening. I loved this dress so much that I ordered another one in black!" — Sharon N
A darling gown
Promising review: "This dress fit perfectly and I felt like a princess. I went to a wedding in upstate New York, and it was chilly, and my dress was perfect. I was able to wear boots with it to keep warm. It fit me perfectly. I loved the beautiful color of the skirt. I will wear it again at Christmas. Love it! Best purchase I have made." — Kimberly Thornton
A surplice jumpsuit
If you're in need of a glam look but are simply not a dress person. The shimmery plissé fabric and surplice neckline give this piece some much-needed va-va-voom without sacrificing comfort.
A wool-blend plaid skirt
You'll be looking absolutely fabulous as you pop open that bottle of bubbly. Style them with a pair of knee-high boots and a pair of tights layered underneath for a chic, fashion-forward outfit.
Promising review: "The skirt is an ultimate fall and winter wardrobe staple! The length and weight are absolutely perfect for the cooler season, providing both comfort and style. The rich, purposeful color adds a touch of sophistication, making it versatile enough to wear for any occasion. I wore it to church and received tons of compliments, and I can’t wait to wear it again wherever I get the chance. Whether you’re dressing up or down, the skirt will make you feel confident and chic!" — Michele Shrecengost
A teddy coat
Promising review: "I LOVE this coat. I get so many compliments on it. It is so warm and comfortable. I wore it in Chicago in 10-degree weather and walked for hours and never even got a chill. I am going back to purchase it in more colors." — lisa cicciarelli
A one-shoulder dress
Promising review: "This dress is comfortable. The fabric and cut allow for versatility, are thick enough, and have enough stretch to dance the night away. I opted for an off-the-shoulder look. I'm 5'11" and was able to pull off a low heel, and the dress was still long enough." — madii
A suede trench coat
Because it seamlessly combines the timeless style of a classic trench with the elegant fabric of a suede jacket. This coat is a winner for fashionistas — it has all the elements of the best fall and winter outerwear.
A basic long-sleeve top
Promising review: "This long-sleeve shirt is perfect for layering or wearing on its own! The fabric is super soft and breathable, so I don’t feel too hot or too cold, making it perfect for all seasons. I love the fit — it’s not too tight or too loose. The sleeves are just the right length, and the shirt holds up well after repeated washes without shrinking or losing its shape. It’s a great basic that I can dress up or down, and I’ve been wearing it constantly. Definitely a must-have for anyone looking for a comfortable, versatile piece to add to their wardrobe!" — Lydia
A ruched bodycon number
Promising review: "I’m completely obsessed with this women’s bodycon maxi dress! This long-sleeve, floral print dress is an absolute stunner — perfect for fall or spring vibes. I wore it to a Kacey Musgraves concert in Nashville when she opened The Pinnacle, the newer venue there, and it was a total hit! For reference, I’m 6’3, so it’s not quite a maxi on me — more like a chic midi length — but I actually love how it looks. The quality is fantastic, and it’s so versatile for parties, clubs, or any stylish event. I’ve already gotten tons of compliments, and I can’t recommend this dress enough!" — Ree
A long shacket
So you don't have to do too much with your base layer. Throw it over a simple outfit and it'll instantly elevate your look with sophistication. Plus it'll give you some much needed warmth if you're planning on standing outside all night long.
Promising review: "This shocker is absolutely gorgeous! Houndstooth is a classic pattern that never goes out of style, and having it in black on white makes it a showstopper for sure! Make note that this is heavyweight, perfect for early spring and fall as well as mild winters (over heavy sweaters). I was expecting more of a shirt-weight, so I was pleasantly surprised to find it is heavier. Can’t say it enough, get it!" — Amazon Customer
A quilted jacket
Promising review: "Love, love, love this jacket! I wore it all over Italy, and it kept me warm! Very comfortable, blocks the wind chill pretty well, and it’s super cute! The color was slightly brighter than I thought it was going to be, but not by much. I will definitely be getting another one when my current one is ready to be replaced! The jacket pairs really well with other reds, pinks, browns, blues, whites, and blacks!" — Kindle Customer
A pair of knee-high boots
So you can rock a skirt or dress while keeping your legs warm at all times. Thanks to their chunky block heel, reviewers say these are extremely comfortable to walk in.
Promising review: "Best and most comfortable boots ever! I have been looking for comfortable boots that aren't too tight around my thighs, but also keep their shape and stay up. My search is finally over." — Amazon Customer
Or a versatile chunky ankle boot
Because you want a little lift to boost you up over the crowds, but the freezing temperatures say otherwise. Featuring sleek pointed toes and 3-inch block heels, you can't go wrong with whatever you want to pair these boots with.
Promising review: "These are gorgeous and quite comfortable. The inside is pretty soft, which is what I was looking for. Great boots, especially for the price." — Jk5
A vegan suede jacket with fringe detail
Promising review: "Normally I try not to impulse buy, but I saw and tried this on in store and had to have it. It is so silky, buttery soft, and comfortable to wear. It definitely runs large. I’m usually a M or even L in tops and jackets, but I liked the way the S fit on this." — mintjulep
A JW Pei scrunched baguette bag
This hip label is Chinese American– and family-owned, and makes its gorgeous bags with vegan leather and recycled plastic!
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Kayla Boyd has this and raves: "When I started seeing this new 'It bag' all over Instagram, I knew I had to have it. What shocked me was the fact that it's less than $100! The quality is amazing — the vegan leather is sturdy, it has a nice faux suede lining, and the magnetic closure actually stays closed. The adorable 'scrunchie' design is such a great way to jazz up an outfit. Plus, it's a great size for the necessities like my phone, wallet, keys, mask, and lip gloss. I definitely plan on buying more colors!"
Promising review: "I needed more 'date' bags as most of my bags are huge. I ordered this, and it's exquisite. Soft and not too small. Big enough for my keys, lipstick, an extra face mask, and my iPhone. Highly recommend." — Techy
Or a rhinestone bag
That will make you stand out as much as the Time's Square NYE Ball. It's unique, striking, and hands-down gorgeous — forget the ball drop, all eyes will be on you!
Promising reviews: "Absolutely beautiful! This is a quality-built, perfectly sized purse to complement evening gowns and cocktail dresses. It was chosen to match strapped silver heels. The inside lining is as soft as satin and has an inside pocket for small items. I love the size — not too small but just large enough for phone, keys, a lipstick, etc. And the sparkle brings a quiet elegance." — Laura
A pair of ruffled, cropped pants
Because they're a hot new take on capris. The ruffled hems add a flirty touch and will bring a playful yet chic element to your outfit. Plus, they have a high-waisted fit, and that already makes them a winner in my book.
A pair of stylish teardrop earrings
They look almost the same as the Bottega Veneta ones, minus the $$$ — both are even gold-plated. Even though they look quite heavy, reviewers say they're super lightweight and don't affect their sensitive ears! Wear these all night long and know that you look like an absolute ICON.
Promising review: "These are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! If I didn't know any better, I would have said these are the Bottega Drop Earrings. I personally love the smaller ones. I have not ordered the larger ones yet. Smaller ones are truthfully the perfect size. We love a good alternative because who has $800+ to spend on the Bottegas." — Brittany
A trench coat
Because you can throw it over literally any outfit (yes, even loungewear) to add a touch of sophistication and elegance to your look while providing a lightweight layer of warmth.
Promising review: "This is a wardrobe definite. Extremely well made with all the extras. Lining, extra buttons, shoulder straps, durable material, and classic. This coat will last and last and never go out of style. You will appreciate everything that went into making this TIMELESS piece." — anonymous
Or a cropped trench coat
Unlike its longer counterpart, this is more fitting if you're headed for a casual get-together. While it's hard to predict what the weather's going to be like on the 31st, it's at least roomy enough to layer pieces under.
Promising review: "LOVE! I was skeptical because of how cropped it was, but it sits perfectly along my waistline. I’m 5’5", 155 pounds, and got a medium. The detail and quality are very well made." — Melody
A pair of slingback heels
If you're not a boots person, but your outfit calls for some heels. Though they're not as warm, they'll still cover up your toes! OK, sure, they're not REAL Chanel, but they certainly look quite similar — even reviewers say so!
Promising review: "This Chanel [alternative] is very in style right now. I wear them to work a lot with dark denim and a blazer. Or white jeans and a blazer. The heel is not too high, so it gives my 5’4” frame a little lift but not too much to get achy feet. I like the slingback because it stays on without blistering or moving around and adds extra interest other than my solid black or nude pumps I wear to the office every day. I’m a size 6 with a narrow foot, and these were true to size. I’m sure I’ll get many years out of these shoes. They are a staple for the wardrobe without the hefty Chanel price tag. Love them!" — ND
A velvet off-the-shoulder dress
Promising review: "This dress is everything! I love the ruched sides and how you can wear the neck either off-the-shoulder or as a cowl neck!" — Natasha
