According to her, the New Year is the time when we can afford to be brighter, so most New Year's collections offer sequins and rhinestones."So if you have a dress 'for a special occasion,' now is the time not to hold back. Choose bright colors. I especially love rich red and red sequins, as well as burgundy – these shades perfectly fit the atmosphere of fire, warmth, and celebration."Regarding footwear: I really dislike it when people wear boots for New Year's Eve. For a restaurant celebration, classic pumps or even sandals always look elegant. The best way to create a festive look is a dress on bare legs, sandals, and stylish outerwear on top," advises Iryna Adonina.Celebrating at home in a relaxed atmosphere – comfort and celebration all at once.Iryna notes that it is important to feel the festive mood even at home. She likes to dress herself and her children in festive clothes, even if the celebration takes place in pajamas or comfortable home clothes."I like the pajama format, especially when you're very tired – it's one of the best options when you don't want to overdo it. But at the same time, I choose a dress for New Year's, even at home. I also dress the children festively: my daughters in dresses, my son in a shirt and trousers. It's important to me that everyone feels that this is not just an ordinary dinner, but a new stage, that magical moment when we can be together.""I sincerely recommend wearing festive clothes even in a calm home atmosphere, because they create a festive mood. And, of course, doing festive makeup adds to the feeling of a special evening," says Adonina.Iryna also advises that all family members should be dressed in the same style. For a home celebration, this can mean complete freedom in choosing dresses and hairstyles. She emphasizes that it is important to teach children to feel the holiday, find their own festive looks, and experiment in a home atmosphere.A house party with your partner's parents – festive, but restrained.According to the fashion influencer, at a party with your partner's parents, the look should be elegant, slightly daring, but not too revealing."For example, if we were having a New Year's Eve dinner with my husband's parents, I would choose a black dress – either floor-length or a little below the knee. The main thing is that it shouldn't look too austere. It could be a silk slip dress, which I would complement with festive shoes with rhinestones or elegant sandals," says Iryna Adonina.A party with friends – experimental and edgy looks"If I were celebrating New Year's Eve with my friends, I would choose a sequined dress – either long or super-mini, because mini dresses are also very fashionable right now. For a celebration with friends, I would definitely do bright makeup that would emphasize the look and match the dress.""For me, celebrating New Year's Eve with friends is all about sequins, bright colors, and a festive mood. After all, together we can feel uplifted, joke around, not be shy about anything, and exchange pleasant gifts. That's why I envision such an evening in the style of the 'Roaring Twenties' – bright, bold, and very festive," emphasizes fashion influencer Iryna Adonina.Trends and colors of the year – what's in style this winterAccording to her, 2026 will be under the aegis of fire, and therefore under the aegis of fiery colors: red, gold, copper, rich warm brown, and the colors of autumn leaves."Gold and red, I'm sure, will dominate most collections. But my personal favorite for all occasions is black. If you have a favorite black dress in which you feel happy and special, and you want to make your New Year's wishes in it, feel free to choose it. Black is always appropriate – the main thing is to complement it with festive accents: bright accessories, makeup, or shoes," adds Adonina.Taboos in festive looks – what to avoidIryna Adonina admitted that she has a personal taboo regarding New Year's outfits. It turns out she doesn't really like it when New Year's Eve is spent barefoot or in boots."Even at home, despite the cozy atmosphere, I like it when the whole family – both the children and I – are wearing shoes. I like being able to wear heels or just pretty shoes that match my dress, even at home. After all, even at home, you want to feel the holiday to the fullest."Dresses and Brands – Advice on Styles and LabelsAccording to the fashion influencer, the festive selection would definitely include items from Gasanova: crystal dresses with feathers or a festive poncho adorned with feathers, which pairs perfectly with both a skirt and trousers. This is a more functional option that creates a restrained yet very elegant look. In addition, the brand offers dresses with distinctive DNA elements – recognizable, concise, and festive at the same time."Dresses would also naturally fit into the selection."
