We’re about two weeks out from New Year’s Eve, and there’s no way that I’m the only one with nothing to wear. It’s a similar saga every time. No matter what I purchase in the months leading up to the holiday, nothing feels right, and I’m compelled to buy something new—typically an item that I later regret buying because I never end up wearing it again and definitely overpaid under pressure.
Well, not this time. Before we can call 2019 a wash, I decided to be a little proactive and roundup 17 NYE-worthy pieces that are not only affordable but that you’ll actually want to wear again in 2020. From matching sets that take the thinking out of dressing to fun tops that just need jeans, shop my picks from our very own Who What Wear collection below, get some styling inspo along the way, and let your outfit stress simply disappear.
