THE FRASERS EDIT: WHAT TO WEAR FOR NEW YEAR’S
What to wear to see in the New Year, whether you’re planning a big night out or cosy night in.
It’s the final night of the year. A moment we all look forward to, even if we celebrate it in very different ways. For some, New Year’s Eve is the perfect reason to get everyone dressed to the nines (kids included) and head out for a night on the town, embracing the countdown with a strictly formal dress code. For others, it’s quite the opposite: the ideal chance to settle in with good skincare, a glass of something sparkling and a few well-deserved indulgences, welcoming the new year from the comfort of the sofa with the celebrations playing out on TV.
The one constant, no matter how you celebrate, is sharing the moment together as a family. And the easiest way to make that feel special is to choose outfits everyone genuinely loves. Whether you’re stepping out in full party glamour or keeping things cosy at home, we’ve curated standout looks for him, her and the kids - so every version of New Year’s is played out in style.

ALL-OUT ELEGANCE
For Mum, New Year’s Eve is the perfect excuse to dress up. A midi‑pearl dress from Odd Muse makes an instant statement, while a Coach Tabby bag and delicate bangles and huggie earrings are polished, effortless touches. Complete the look with strappy heels and a swipe of rich, velvety lipstick, and you have a look that’s refined, festive, and ready to ring in the new year in style.
FOR FORMAL INVITES
For Dad, New Year’s Eve is a rare excuse to go all-out. A tailored tuxedo jacket and trousers create a sharp, effortless silhouette, paired with a crisp shirt and simple accessories like a chain bracelet. Polished loafers and a subtle, refined fragrance complete the look. Stylish, classic, and ready for the countdown.
STARS OF THE SHOW
New Year’s Eve isn’t just for the grown-ups - the kids deserve a moment in the spotlight too. A classic Polo Ralph Lauren top instantly smartens things up, especially when layered under a sharp BOSS blazer for a dressed-up feel that’s still easy to wear. Straight jeans keep the look relaxed enough for running around, while New Balance trainers add comfort for every moment of the night. It’s a simple, confident outfit that lets them enjoy the celebrations just as much as the grown-ups.
LITTLE LUXURIES
If you’d prefer to say in, a quiet New Year’s at home can be the ultimate treat. A soft Anine Bing hoodie and Calvin Klein joggers set the tone for comfort, paired with plush UGG slippers and a little skincare indulgence - from brightening eye patches to a beautifully scented body lotion. Add a favourite drink in elegant flutes, and the evening becomes its own kind of celebration. Relaxed, cosy, and exactly how you’d want to welcome the year ahead.
HIS DREAM NIGHT IN
The perfect New Year’s Eve in for him is all about effortless comfort with a touch of quiet indulgence. A soft Polo Ralph Lauren top and relaxed tracksuit bottoms set the tone for a night of cosy ease, with mule slippers ready to kick off once the celebrations really begin. A good face cream keeps him refreshed, and a set of rotating whisky glasses turns a favourite drink into a small ritual worth savouring. It’s less about dressing up, and more about settling in.
A FESTIVE SLEEPOVER
For the little ones, New Year’s Eve at home is all about cosy comfort and cuddly company. A soft hoodie and fleece joggers make for the perfect relaxed outfit, paired with snug slippers that are ideal for movie marathons and board games. Add a favourite plush bunny to snuggle up with, and the evening feels playful, comforting and just right for waiting up (or dozing off) until the countdown begins.
