Fashion: New Year's Eve

The biggest night of the year is but days away and it's time to pull out all the stops.

The biggest night of the year is but days away and it's time to pull out all the stops. Everything from a sultry maxi dress to a sharply tailored jacket and pant set will make sure you celebrate with all-out glamour.

This is the perfect time to dress like you really mean it. Be bold. Be daring.

A black sequined maxi dress will always add glitz to any event. Boo Hoo's Dixie Woven Wrap Front sequin dress is sure to catch everyone's attention. The cheeky thigh split shows the right amount of skin and still remains chic.

Animal attraction never looked so good. Moochi's Lift maxi dress features a bold, attention-seeking tiger print. Team with sky-high heels and channel your inner cat woman.

Get ready to smoke up the dance-floor in Alice McCall's hand-crocheted Room is on Fire dress. The racy double splits aren't for the faint-hearted but if you've got it, why not flaunt it?

Keep calm and party on in Liam's Stars dress, a veritable showstopper in scarlet. Worn with Ruby's nude Kazuki heels, this sophisticated cocktail-ready combo is perfect for any New Year's Eve soiree.

Hit the town in edgy style with Shona Joy's Arabesque High Neck Handkerchief dress. This modern interpretation of the LBD has a sexy, sheer black overlay making it a party perfect must-have.

Hello good times! Make it a memorable night in Topshop's Chainmail body con dress in metallic gold. You'll jazz up any party in this figure-hugging number. For a more sophisticated feel, team with a tailored black jacket.

Up the ante with Storm's elegant Long and Short of It jacket, Revival lace top and black satin pants. You can never go wrong with monochrome, a perennially stylish look that never dates.

The Line Up: Essential party accessories.

Create the ultimate smokey eye and make those peepers pop thanks to By Terry's gorgeous eye shadow palette.

Dance the night away in Stewart Weitzman's Lovefringe strappy gold heels.

Make a statement with Silk & Steel's Organised Chaos necklace.

Add a bronzed all-over shimmer with Estee Lauder's Pure Color All Over Illuminator for face and body.

The eyes have it with MAC's lashes in #7 for a sultry, irresistible look.

Mooi's Jem clutch in Gold and Bone adds the Midas touch to any outfit.

So let's get the party started early and ring in the New Year in fabulous style. Goodbye 2015 and hello 2016.

Happy New Year.
