There might be a party to crash 365 days of the year, and 366 on leap years, but there’s something about New Year’s Eve that still stands out. Maybe i’s the fact that people have been celebrating ever since they learned how to make calendars, or it could be that we all just love an excuse for a new beginning, but it feels odd not to mark the occasion. While we wouldn’t suggest pinning hopes of grand romantic gestures or dreams of the best night of your life on the occasion‚ nothing kills a vibe like pressure, after all, the tradition of going all-out style-wise has never done us wrong. For your toasting pleasure, we’ve compiled some looks from our favourite SLEEK fashion stories to inspire your night.
High drama from Knockoff
Photography by Rebekah Campbell. Styling by Rachael Wang
For SLEEK #63, Rebekah Campbell shot voluminous hyper-feminine looks in Clifton Township Pennsylvania. Between the cape, diamantes and liberal blue eyeshadow, this look is the powerbitch we want to be in 2020.
Martina Cox’s peekaboo shorts
Photography by Valentina Von. Styling by Martina Cox
The New York-based designer, featured in SLEEK 63, honed her homemaking and crafts aesthetic while going to Berlin’s clubs. The playful transparent patches and white-picket fence garter details are itching to be sent back to the dancefloor.
Walk of shame from Watched
Photography by Boris Camaca. Styling by Kamilla Richter
Boris Camaca created a Lady Diana illusion with three different models for SLEEK #61, borrowing from the late royal’s elegant, but on-trend style. The checked Mulberry number, paired with the Ottolinger scarf is a definite mood for sneaking home from wherever you end up at 1PM on 1 January.
Statement earrings from Love Me Like Her
Photography by Arvida Byström. Styling by Soki Mak
Sometimes the best decision is to keep everything simple and focus on one accessory—a la Arvida Byström’s sex doll shoot in SLEEK #61.
Holiday blues from Art Pass
Photography by Elizabeta Porodina. Styling by Viviane Hausstein
Suiting is always a good option, especially if your mood is to sit in the corner with a string instrument playing sad songs as the ball drops. SLEEK #61’s Louis Vuitton shoot by Elizaveta Porodina features a range of blues—all the better considering ‘anxiety blue’ is Pantone’s colour of the year
House party girl from Glossed
Photography by Adrienne Raquel. Styling by Alexander Julian
In SLEEK #64, Adrienne Raquel perfectly captures the house party hostess vibe of the season—feathered, having more fun than you and not dressed for the weather. House coats > winter coats.
Carte blanche from Move for Me
Photography by Felicity Ingram. Styling by Lorena Maza
There is something very baptismal about starting the year off in whites. In SLEEK #64, Felicity Ingram captures a more decadent vision of purity.
Chilled out glam from City Royals
Photography by Daniel Regan. Styling by Lauren Anne Groves
If there is one day of the year where diamantes are appropriate it is 31 December, but this doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice a slightly waiver aesthetic. We’re taking cues from Daniel Regan’s SLEEK #62 editorial.
