| New Year’s Eve Dresses for Every Type of Party Person - The Cut Posted: 02 Dec 2019 07:23 AM PST  Photo: Courtesy of the Retailers New Year's Eve is one of the few opportunities you get to really go big, sartorially speaking, so why not seize the day? That doesn't necessarily mean covering yourself in gold sequins head to toe (although that's cool, too). There's a spectrum to flashiness. Prefer to be a little more subdued? You'll want a dress that sticks with dimensional fabrics in velvet or satin. Prefer to stand out? A dress lined with faux-feathers might be better for you. Whether you're a wallflower or like to be the center of attention, scroll down to shop all of the best New Year's Eve dresses now. The Designer Dupe AQUA Luxe Zebra-Stripe Sequined Dress Squint your eyes and this can almost pass for Saint Laurent. It has all the hallmarks of an Anthony Vaccarello party piece: the exaggerated shoulders, the mini length, the animal print sequins, the sheath silhouette — but you'll be paying less than $100 for it.  Which We Want Rebecca Mini Dress Remember those romantic, milkmaid-looking tops from last summer? This is sort of like a dress version, with velvet cap sleeves and a sweetheart neckline to show off your favorite necklace.  Ruched Satin Midi Dress Try something in a more understated material, like this rich satin eggplant-colored dress from & Other Stories. It still gives off some shine, without making you look like a human disco ball.  Starlight Dress Buying a new dress for every party that pops up can get expensive. Here's one you can continually repurpose after the ball drops with a few keen accessories swaps.  Asos Design Faux Feather Bandeau Midi Dress A faux-fur-trimmed red dress will do the trick.  Stelen Ellenor Sequin Wrap Mini Dress Wrap dresses are amazing for obvious reasons, but drip it in copper-colored sequins and you have a winner.  Collectif Truth be Tulle-d Midi Dress Tiers of tulle can look overly precious, but the black lends more of a moody, romantic vibe.  Topshop Satin Tux Minidress This tuxedo-meets-minidress is so slinky, it will make you feel like an extra in a James Bond movie.  Rotate Birger Christensen Belted Ruffled Georgette Midi Dress Danish label ROTATE Birger Christensen is known for its quirky Scandinavian spin on the party dress. With billowy sleeves, a ruffled collar, and belted waist, this has so many cool details — all you need is some simple metallic pumps to make it work.  Alex Evenings Plus Size Cutout Sheath Dress It might look like your typical red at first glance, but look closer, and you'll see specks of red shimmer that take this dress up a notch.  Asos Edition Sequin Wrap Midi Dress An oversize take on the wrap dress, this is more drapey, giving you plenty of room to bust a move on the dance floor.  Vince Camuto Plus Size One-Sleeve Metallic Bodycon Dress If you want to show off your curves, nothing does the trick like a body-con dress. They can easily skew cheap-looking, so choose one with interesting elevated details like an asymmetrical shoulder or ruching.  Sequins fringed dress There's so much to love here. From the fringe to the keyhole neckline, and most of all, the gold sequins. It's a dress everyone will remember.  Asos Design Halter Cowl Front Satin Dress Big, over-the-top details aren't necessary when you look like liquid silk. It's also a canvas to get imaginative with accessories.  Chaus Sparkle Ribbed Long Sleeve Faux Wrap Dress A dress that solves the age-old dilemma of how to look cute without freezing your butt off. Instead of tights, wear it with red-leather, over-the-knee boots for added edge.  Ever New Tazmin Bow Back Long Sleeve Cocktail Dress Business in the front, party in the back.  Eloquii Long Sleeve Sequin Cocktail Dress Pair it with black shimmering tights and platform pumps.  Rotate Birger Christensen Ruffled velvet midi dress Have dinner at 8 and a NYE party 10? This is understated enough to take you from an elegant dinner to the dance floor.  John Zack Dress with Ruched Detail Sure, everyone loves silver and gold sequins, but you'll stand out even more in this emerald green number.  Dress The Population Rory Midi Dress A dress that can keep up when you're dancing like there's no tomorrow.  Eliza J Sequin Long-Sleeved Sheath Dress At first glance, people will think you're Bianca Jagger.  Odile Wrap Midi Dress At this rate, your entire wardrobe is probably already 25 percent animal print, so why stop now?

| Posted: 30 Nov 2019 05:42 AM PST  Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell's new book is a year-long daily walk through history, and the place of clothing in it. She talks to NPR's Scott Simon about some of the articles she featured. SCOTT SIMON, HOST: "Worn On This Day" is a book you can take through the year. Each day, January 1 to December 31, is marked by an outfit. Spacesuit to sword, a top hat worn on the night a statesman was shot and coveralls worn by Caesar (ph), an 18-year-old when he ran away from the man who enslaved him. "Worn On This Day: The Clothes That Made History" is put together and narrated in a sense by Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell, a fashion historian and curator. She joins us now from NPR West. Thanks so much for being with us. KIMBERLY CHRISMAN-CAMPBELL: Thanks for the invitation, Scott. SIMON: You called these items wearable time capsules. CHRISMAN-CAMPBELL: Indeed. SIMON: How so? CHRISMAN-CAMPBELL: Well, I wanted to tell the story of how fashion has shaped our understanding and our memory of historical events. And I realized that I couldn't really tell that story. I had to show it. So I've picked objects that illustrate the moment that history was made, really, and how fashion or clothing played a role in shaping not just what happened but how we remember it and how we perceive it. SIMON: January 15 you have an item worn by Princess Diana, but not her famous wedding dress, is it? CHRISMAN-CAMPBELL: Well, her wedding dress is in the book, as well as her famous revenge dress that she wore when Charles did his interview about Camilla. But this piece is a flak jacket and face shield that she wore in Angola for a walk-through an active minefield. And her visit called attention to her work for the Red Cross and HALO Trust, an anti-landmine charity. And to see this iconic, very glamorous, very famous woman dressed in this extremely, shockingly protective garment made a huge impression, as she intended and hoped it would. SIMON: Let me get you to flip forward to April 7, a belt. CHRISMAN-CAMPBELL: This is one of many pieces in the book that are associated with the Holocaust. This was worn by a man who escaped from Auschwitz after 21 months in captivity. And he'd actually inherited it from a fellow prisoner who'd worn it during his own failed escape attempt. But this man, Rudolf Vrba, was successful in his attempt and he returned to his native Slovakia from Auschwitz and continued to wear the belt to fight the Nazis as part of the Slovak army. SIMON: Wearing the name of his late friend on the inside of his belt. CHRISMAN-CAMPBELL: Yes, the late friend's prisoner number is written on the inside of the belt as well as the date. People who wore these things often knew that they were going to be part of history, that they were making history as they were wearing them and they saved them and preserved them. But sometimes, they even labeled and dated them. SIMON: July 14, a pair of mismatched cleats are commemorated in your book. CHRISMAN-CAMPBELL: Yes. These were worn by the so-called greatest athlete who ever lived, Jim Thorpe, who is not really a household name today but certainly was in his time because he could do it all. He was a football player. He was a baseball player. And he won the gold medal in decathlon and pentathlon at the 1912 Olympics in Sweden. And he did this despite having come from a very disadvantaged background. He was a Sac and Fox Indian who grew up in the Oklahoma Territory. And like many Native Americans, he was sent away to a government-run boarding school as a teenager. On the day of the Olympic decathlon, the second day of the Olympic decathlon he woke up to find that his shoes had been stolen. So he searched around for something to wear and found two mismatched cleats in a trash can, but they were different sizes and not his size. So he had to put extra socks on one foot. But despite this, he still won the gold medal by a huge margin of victory, so it makes this already impressive achievement all the more stunning. SIMON: September 25, you have a school girl's brand-new dress worn for her first day of school. CHRISMAN-CAMPBELL: Yes, but it wasn't just any first day of school. This was the dress worn by Carlotta Walls, the youngest of the Little Rock Nine on the first day of school at Little Rock Central High. She wore this dress to walk past protesters, escorted by the Army and the National Guard, to integrate Little Rock Central High School. And in most of the black-and-white pictures of this day you can't even really see the detail on the dress, but it's printed with the alphabet, which is such a wonderful testament to her love of learning at any cost. SIMON: Grandfather got it for her the day before school? Or father? CHRISMAN-CAMPBELL: It was her uncle who gave her the money to buy it because he insisted that this was a historic day and she needed to have a proper dress. Usually, her mother made her clothes, but this one was bought at a department store in downtown Little Rock. And she called it the perfect outfit for the first day of school. SIMON: Got to say as I closed your book, I was reminded by advice my mother gave me because so many items in this book were worn by people at the end. My mother always used to say better to be slightly overdressed than underdressed because you'll never know what the day will bring. CHRISMAN-CAMPBELL: Well some of my favorite pieces in the book are the sad ones, the ones with blood stains and bullet holes because they speak so eloquently to what people experienced and what people suffered and also what they survived. SIMON: "Worn On This Day: The Clothes That Made History" - put together by Kimberly Chrisman-Campbell. Thanks so much for being with us. CHRISMAN-CAMPBELL: You're very welcome, Scott.
