Looking for the perfect dress to wear for a stylish start to the New Year? I’m looking to Zara to help me out, and as always, they haven’t let me down. As we get closer to the exciting moment when the clock strikes midnight, I’m already planning my outfit. Anything with sequins, and I’m in.

Luckily for you and me both, Zara has just dropped some seriously decent party dresses in time for New Year’s Eve, perhaps the only night of the year when it’s acceptable to wear head-to-toe glitter. But it’s not just glitzy mini dresses and sequins, although there’s plenty of that about. Zara has a dress for every woman’s style, so whether you’re after a chic black number, satin midi or sparkly dress, you’re sorted.

One word of advice though. If you can wait, you might want to buy one of these during the upcoming Zara sale. It’s set to start on Christmas Day, so you might have to get it in person or pay for next day delivery, but it’ll be worth it!

So keep scrolling to take a look at my personal favourite Zara dresses that are sure to turn heads and make your New Year’s Eve memorable. Next, check out these cute going out tops from Zara if you’re more of a ‘jeans and a nice top’ kinda girl.
