New Year's
Robbie Caponetto

New Year's Eve is our very favorite excuse to do everything to the nines. From splurging on champagne to rocking the sparkly dress of our dreams, we have no shame in going all out. After all, there are few other nights of the year when you can get away with quite as much over-the-top glamour as New Year's Eve. And y'all know that as Southerners, we tend to make habits of being just a wee bit extravagant in everything we do. That being said, we have a good sense for when things are too much, too little, or just right—and these sequin dresses hit the sweet spot between classic and glamorous. We'll never underestimate the power of a well-placed sequin, especially when we know that misusing sequins can go oh so wrong so very quickly. These classic silhouettes provide a perfect canvas for the details of your New Year's outfit to truly shine.
