With the appearance of the first snow, one begins to feel the approach of the most magical New Year holiday. Surely girls are already wondering what outfit to choose to celebrate this winter, unforgettable and most fabulous holiday. The coming 2020 will be ruled by the Fiery Red Rooster.
It’s better to get a taste of the character of a restive owner even before New Year’s Eve. In order for the Fire Rooster to give you only good surprises, it is important to know some of the nuances and subtleties of the New Year 2020. It is important to remember what dishes are best to cook, how to set the table and what to wear for the New Year 2020.
If you really want to think through everything down to the smallest detail, then it’s better to start preparing in advance. This will give you enough time to choose a variety of accessories, try out cosmetics and clothing items. As a result, you will be irresistible on the long-awaited New Year's Eve.
Next, we will provide some important tips from stylists who will tell you how to correctly introduce the leading trends of the year into the festive image of a lovely lady for the New Year 2020.
Forget like a bad dream
The most common mistake of almost all girls and women is the desire to show themselves completely and from all sides. At the same time, most of them wear modest pencil skirts throughout the year and honestly follow the dress code, so it is at the New Year's party that they begin to show off their legs from the ears, all the depth and power of the neckline. A holiday is a reason to dress beautifully, not vulgarly! So forget about super minis and big cutouts.
The next important rule is no boots. I am frankly against these shoes, especially in combination with a cocktail-evening look. The only exception is over the knee boots, which are currently in fashion. But they look perfect with minis, and we have already discussed this point.

General rules for choosing clothes for a corporate event
The choice of image depends on the age, position and dress code of the event. At the age of 40, we recommend paying attention to shirt dresses, A-line midi skirts, and sheath dresses. Wide-leg palazzo pants are still trending this summer and look great with heels and wedges.
For outdoor events, choose Bermuda shorts, comfortable trousers, a basic T-shirt, tennis shoes or sneakers. Take inspiration from safari style for a chic and sporty look.
At the age of 25-30, you can afford shorter shorts, but no less than mid-thigh length. It is better if they are not made of denim, because denim shorts can look too informal, which is not suitable for a corporate event.
If you are in a high position, then even in summer it is not recommended to wear clothes that are too short and revealing. Instead of shorts, prefer linen trousers, a sundress, a dress, complement the look with wicker sandals, a bag and glasses to look trendy and stylish.
For pregnant women, we recommend choosing light sundresses and dresses that will elegantly highlight the position and look modest and cute.
If there is a dress code at the event, dress accordingly. The dress code for a party in a country house is cocktail dresses, for a picnic in nature - a comfortable sporty style, for a pool - swimwear.
More colors
I am for a bright palette of colors, especially when it’s winter outside. The most fashionable color of the season is red in all its shades - from rich red, strawberry, to raspberry, burgundy, grenadine. On this wave, such a concept as a total red look even appeared - a completely red image. For example, a red dress, burgundy pumps, a wine jacket. The most important thing here is to make sure that things are laconic, not overloaded and beautifully combined with each other, creating a play of color.
Life hacks on how to turn an office suit into a New Year's outfit
Stylists know how to turn an ordinary office suit into a festive outfit in 5 minutes. We reveal several secrets for readers of the Careerist website.
- Bring unusually styled shoes or high heels. It’s good if they are rich in color or silver or golden. That is, we are talking about shoes that attract attention, making the image not boring. You don’t have to wear patent leather stilettos all day long; you can change into them for the holiday.
- An elegant necklace or large earrings allow you to quickly and easily turn an ordinary dress or suit into a festive outfit. The necklace will look great on a sheath dress, turtleneck, plain blouse without unnecessary trim. The earrings will go with almost anything, and they look great with your hair pulled back, which fits perfectly with the office dress code. You should not wear both accent earrings and a statement necklace at the same time. If you want more jewelry, put something on your hand (bracelet, ring).
- A beautiful scarf or neckerchief is an elegant accessory that can be worn in the office. It can also make your suit more elegant.
- Another accessory that will fit well into a business dress code is a belt. Once you replace the black belt with a red or silver one, your outfit will sparkle with new colors.
- On the day of the New Year's corporate party, you can wear an elegant dress, blouse, or top to work. If you find them too bright for the office, layer them with a cardigan or jacket. Afterwards, all that remains is to remove the top part of the set or replace it with a more elegant one (silk cape, fur coat).
All these tricks can be used not only for transformation for the New Year's corporate party. They will also come in handy at other times, for example, if you are going to visit the theater after work.

When you have an imperfect figure
Body imperfections can be hidden with the help of a skirt-blouse set - it will help highlight the waist. But, of course, the bottom should match the event: made of sequins, jacquard, with embroidery. Don't forget about brooches. This accessory can be attached not only to a blouse, but also to a belt.
A win-win option for absolutely all girls with a round body type: large breasts, massive hips, plump knees - a wrap dress. This wardrobe item can correct almost any figure type, bringing your body closer to an hourglass silhouette.

Trouser combinations
A New Year's look with trousers will be a good alternative to dresses and skirts. Pantsuits 2021 are trendy in white, beige, brown, grey, black and other fashionable colors. The most trendy solutions for trouser combinations for the New Year will be:
- Jumpsuits
Choose sparkling sequin styles or irresistible jumpsuits with corset tops. Also a good option for the holiday would be a jumpsuit made of silk or corduroy with wide legs.
- Pantsuits
Give preference to classic models among trouser suits. Dilute the look with additional accessories that will create a laconic festive look.
- Pants with a top or blouse
A New Year's look with trousers looks most successful with a top or blouse decorated with feathers, embroidery or sequins. Remember that if the top of the set is strewn with sequins or sparkles, then the bottom should be the most restrained, and vice versa. This technique will create perfect harmony of the outfit.
With or without tights?
Beige tights in any form are a prohibited item of clothing; legs should not differ in color from other parts of the body. And if they are also shiny, this is generally bad manners!

I note that not everyone needs to show off their bare legs to others. If there are imperfections in the form of bruises, spider veins, an unhealthy blue tint, cellulite and other “feminine joys”, of course, you must wear tights, but super thin, matte ones - only 8-20 denier.
The second option is liquid tights. They have a lifting effect, slightly tighten the legs, and also give them a healthy color and do not leave marks like self-tanning.
Then you have the right to choose alternative options: for example, thin black tights are quite acceptable if you are wearing a little black dress. Especially now options with polka dots or stars are relevant.
Of course, when a woman has toned, tanned legs, you can forget about tights, although it’s better to show off your bare legs not in front of your colleagues. A share of censorship should still remain between employees even on such a holiday.

What color should you wear for 2021?
Are you planning what to wear to celebrate the New Year? First, you need to decide on the color palette that is relevant in 2021. So, to create a New Year's look, the best shades are:
- white;
- gray and gray-blue;
- blue;
- brown and chocolate;
- green;
- metallic
The main rule for choosing a New Year's outfit is less neon colors, flashy accents and pretentiousness.
Discreet elegance and ease of movement are the main criteria for the 2021 formal look
The heel matters
Extreme high heels for a corporate event are not the best solution. Choose a stable heel of medium height - 7-10 cm. This will allow you to dance confidently and simply move comfortably. Your task is to look elegant, not to walk like a heron.
By the way, I hasten to please those for whom 7-10 cm is a lot. Now low heels, literally 3 cm, are at the peak of popularity. So you can safely use this trend. In addition, flat shoes have not been canceled either. An interesting blouse and laconic trousers will look great with Oxfords or Bluchers. The main thing is to be creative, look for clothing options that will be both elegant and comfortable.

Dresses
Refined and elegant styles of dresses are in fashion. A good choice would be an asymmetrical one-shoulder satin dress with a beautiful slit. A New Year's look with a dress will allow you to look brilliant and irresistible at a corporate event, family celebration or other party options. Current variations of images for the New Year will be:
- Mini dresses
Mini dresses are perfect for brave and active girls. The styles and models of short dresses for the New Year 2021 are very original and charming. The current trends for cocktail dresses will be asymmetry, extraordinary sleeves, an open back and decoration with sequins, fringe, feathers and lace.
- Evening
Fashionable variations of evening dresses are distinguished by their cut and refined silhouette. The best options to choose from are maxi dresses with asymmetry, puffy sleeves, ruffles and lace inserts.
- Brilliant Variations
Dresses in gold and silver, regardless of length, will become the most popular trends for creating an image for the New Year 2021. Shiny fabrics will complete your New Year's look without additional accessories and decorations that can only overload the look.
Shoes and accessories
Choosing the right shoes to match your New Year's outfit is a real art. Shoes must match perfectly with the chosen look. If the emphasis is on the dress, then it is better to give preference to discreet tones on the legs and vice versa.
You need to take into account the duration of the corporate event, so do not skimp on shoes and purchase them from quality materials. Remember the convenience of the pad, which will protect your legs from fatigue and swelling. You should not go out in a completely new, “unworn” pair: such a rash act threatens unforeseen troubles.
A proven classic that your dog will love
What shoes will the Dog like? In the coming year, there is no need to look for bright, original models. The conservative animal prefers the old, proven classics. However, shoes should be evening shoes, not office shoes. Stiletto heels, flat heels or ballet flats: the new era does not limit fashionistas in their choice.
The New Year opens up enormous scope for imagination, but you need to remember your sense of taste. Bright, flashy accessories will be relevant for outfits in subdued tones. Such jewelry will become the central accent in a festive look. If the dress or suit has shiny elements, then we recommend choosing conservative jewelry.
Choose elegant shoes and a small clutch
Do you have an outfit with open arms? Don't forget elbow-length gloves and an elegant clutch. Dresses with corsets are simply impossible to imagine without long earrings. Laconic suits are chicly complemented with single brooches, and cocktail models need to be completed with rings, bracelets or necklaces. Don't try to look like a Christmas tree.

1. Sporty
1. Jieda trousers from RUB 27,600, 2. Yuzhe Studios shirt from RUB 26,900, 3. Christian Louboutin sneakers from RUB 78,900.
Sportswear has long been at the top of the most fashionable solutions. But it can be slightly replayed in a more official direction. To do this, we will need wide wool trousers in contrasting colors, a black shirt with mustard braid and our favorite versatile shoes - sneakers. Let them be total black and with thick soles. It would seem that the outfit consists of a shirt and trousers, but designer trim and sports shoes on the feet give a new shade to the image.
2. Denim
1. Gucci T-shirt from RUB 40,320, 2. Levi's jeans from RUB 9,700, 3. Christian Louboutin Derby from RUB 73,000, 4. Prada cardigan from RUB 60,000.
Denim has also been and remains popular for informal corporate settings. However, you should not wear them with a hoodie and ugly shoes (but outside, please). Classic straight fit jeans are what we need. We combine them with leather derbies with a small heel, and on top a black polo shirt with contrasting trim. You can complement the look with a jumper.
3.Black-tie
All Gucci 1. Shirt from RUB 38,000. 2. Suit from RUB 158,300. 3. Loafers from RUB 47,200.
Black-tie is the safest option. A single-breasted jacket and straight trousers are ideal for formal occasions. The elegant trim in the form of red piping along the edges of the jacket is the very highlight that will not let you get lost in the crowd of white-collar workers. By the way, you can also play a little with the collar - colored contrasting stripes will slightly dilute the official look. But it’s better to leave classic shoes. For example, loafers.

Nothing personal
Today, a corporate holiday is a serious matter; sometimes an entire department of specialists works on its creation. The employer invests a lot of money, in the language of professionals this is called “investment in personnel.” Needless to say, attendance at such events is voluntary and compulsory. Those who prefer to spend their weekends differently, but who want career growth, will have to come to terms with this. Those who like a complete break, but want to work long and fruitfully in the company, should be careful. And no one should forget that corporate vacation is the same work, just in a different package.
Otherwise, you can allow yourself to relax and have fun. After all, a corporate event is a great opportunity to get closer to colleagues and show yourself in the best light. It is important to behave with dignity and dress appropriately for the situation. Whatever the corporate trip, and no matter how conducive the situation is to freedom, you should not allow yourself too much. There is such a thing as overdressed
, literally translated from English as a woman who is overdressed. A successful businesswoman can hear such a word only in a nightmare.
In this case, you should not dress too loosely. A tracksuit, an oversized T-shirt, short shorts, flip-flops - all this is not an option. An open body and display of underwear can negate the emotional distance necessary in a professional relationship. Even if the dress code on the invitation requires a swimsuit, sometimes it is more profitable to ignore this requirement.
