12 unexpected New Year’s Eve dresses (because you’ve already worn glitter and black a million times)

Sure, you could rock the usual sparkly, go-to New Year’s Eve dress, but since we’re saying sayonara to a terrible year that surprised us over and over again (and not in a good way!) why not try a New Year’s dress that’s a little more unexpected?

While dresses with bell sleeves are among the most popular styles of the year (according to Pinterest), and we admit that we’re obsessed with anything that glitters, the dresses we’ve rounded up here are totally off the beaten path — but still perfect for a celebratory wintertime bash. We hope you love them as much as we do!
