2020 is coming to a close, and I think it’s safe to say none of us are particularly sad to see it go. Personally, I still can’t believe I wasted such a cute outfit ringing in this dumpster fire of a year, but you know what they say: When you look your best, you feel your best, so I’ll be weighing my options for New Year’s Eve outfits to help me channel only positive vibes going into 2021.
Unfortunately, the world will still be battling the coronavirus pandemic in the new year, which means celebrations can’t be as lively as you might be used to. Fortunately, there is a silver lining to a socially distant or fully virtual soiree at home: You’re under no obligation to wear heels or dress to the nines.
1. Go Big
The theme of 2020 has been comfort — comfort clothes, comfort food, and the coziest ambience. And because no one knows what awaits for us in 2021, why break the mold? Snuggle into the oversized sweater that brings you the most joy and claim your seat on the couch or your side of bed if you’re celebrating at home. If you’re heading out for a socially distant gathering, pair the baggy top with skinny jeans or wide-leg pants.
2.Poufy and Puffy
The best thing about celebrating 2021 from your own home is that there aren’t any rules and you can avoid judgement. Embrace your inner fashion influencer and dare yourself to pull on that poufy, whimsical dress you’ve been hanging onto all year. There’s no time like the present, and perhaps it’ll bring you some luck for the 12 months ahead.
3.Leggings
Pants have been optional for the majority of 2020, so why should you be expected to wear proper bottoms for NYE? Own your loungewear uniform and wear whatever you deem comfortable, be it a T-shirt, hoodie, cropped sweater, or a sports bra and zip up. The end goal is just to be unapologetically lax.
