It’s that one time of the year when you can be chummy with the boss so you need an outfit that’s fun but still work-appropriate. Instead of your usual button-down, go for an embellished top, then pair it with a skirt and party-ready fringe heels.

This year, don’t go for the obvious red or green for Noche Buena with the family. A graphic white body-hugging frock will make you look fresh all night-long, not to mention stand out in group photos. Then complete the ensemble with a hint of festive red via your heels.

Everyone fashion girl knows going all out with your look is the true New Year’s Eve tradition. It is, after all, the attire you’re ringing in a new year with. We suggest a maxi dress, made sultry with a thigh-high slit that will show off not just your gams, but your tie-up steppers as well. Cheers to a stylish 2016!
