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.
