With Taylor Swift Era’s Tour and Beyonce’s Renaissance Tour all wrapped up (for now), there aren’t many other occasions that call for head-to-toe sparkles besides New Year’s Eve. However, after a whirlwind of a year where it felt like we were to the nines in glittering pieces every other weekend, if you wanted to hang up your bejeweled looks for one night, we wouldn’t blame you.
Sparkles aren’t the only thing that screams “festive” this time of year (far from it!). From soft velvet to shiny plisse to shimmering satin, there are more ways to shine in your New Year’s Eve dress than by dressing in head-to-toe sequins.

If sequins and sparkles aren’t quite your thing, or you’re looking to switch up your New Year’s Eve dress this year, you’ve come to the right place. We’ve rounded up 25 non-sparkly options (that are still festive) that are begging to be worn while you ring in 2024.
