Hot Picks For a Casual Cool New Year's Eve

>> So your New Year's Eve plans might not involve reserved tables at The Box, Lavo, or Beauty & Essex — but that doesn't mean you won't have a rockin' good time. Casual parties, whether it's at a BFF's house or a more low-key bar, can be the most fun and memorable so make sure you're well equipped with some nice duds. Jumpsuits, like this one from Madewell, are always a fun option, and who can resist a pair of playful red trousers? More casual NYE dressing options below!
Gossip Style: Serena van der Woodsen
Take a message because you're going to want to concentrate on what Serena's wearing. Her delightful, shimmery look consists of a Gryphon skirt, Joie tank, Nanette Lepore blazer, and, of course, a Chanel bag. Most of the items are not available online, but there are some really close alternatives, so shop it all now.
Trend Alert: Drawstring Denim
Denim is a closet staple, and like anything in perpetual rotation, sometimes it could use a little revamp. Here's one we're loving: drawstring denim. This take on your classic blues is casual and still sophisticated, a remodeled fit with a nod to our comfier clothes. But remember, these aren't sweatpants — they're meant to be dressed up; add a femme top, like Fab reader NikitaAshley, to counter the slouchier silhouette and go for heels to play up the fashion angle.
Trend Alert: Leather Minidresses
Before you stash all of your Winter clothing away, make sure to leave out that sexy leather minidress. Take a cue from The Hills star Kristin Cavallari, and wear your slick frock sans tights. Leather dresses aren't cheap, but well worth it considering you can wear them in cold and warm weather. To avoid hot stickiness, I suggest wearing it early Spring/Summer, at night, and with a pair of kickass heels. Again, see Kristin.
Trend Alert: Studly Blazers
Nicky Hilton doesn't need an excuse to look fashionably on-trend. While running errands in LA, the cutie showed off her bad-to-the-bone side in a studly blazer by H&M. Yes, it's in your face and actually kinda amazing. These hard-core embellishments make a huge statement with any outfit, so make sure your accompaniments are clean and streamlined a la Nicky. Here's an idea: try it out as a DIY. All you need is a Bedazzler and a black blazer — done and done. Or, check out your local H&M after work today . . .
Trend Alert: Fuzzy Collars
Army green was a prevalent Spring trend, and we already know why. The mellow green hue serves as a cool neutral and a crisp canvas — especially for fur. Gossip Girl Taylor Momsen looks like a rock star in her army green fur collar jacket and Axl Rose aviators. Whether faux or real, fuzzy collars add a dollop of cozy to any outerwear piece. I'm quite fond of these.
Celeb Style: Dakota Fanning
Dakota Fanning posed for pictures at the First Star Celebration for Children's Rights in LA wearing a youthful and festive ensemble. She paired a sequin Gryphon top with gray skinny jeans, a cropped, brown leather jacket and matching platform sandals. Shop this exact top — perfect for any holiday affair — and other similar items now!
