New Year’s Eve is all about festive fashion. The more sequins, crystals, and feathers, the better! The only problem with that is, a hot pink sequin dress with feather trim tends to be a one-and-done type of piece that delivers the all-important IG NYE post, but not much more.

As I’ve gotten older I’ve learned to shop with intention. My goal is to create a forever wardrobe full of items that can be worn many different times. While buying statement dresses and skirts is super fun, sometimes you need to couple it with tried and true pieces you can wear again. This year, I found a solution to my New Year’s Eve outfit dilemma — statement handbags.

From cool chainmail to sleek sequins, a statement bag will elevate any look. And the beauty of these bags is the fact that they aren’t just reserved for a special occasion. If you want to keep your New Year’s outfit simple, throw on a classic LBD and let your bag do the talking. Well after the holiday, you can continue to dress up jeans and a blazer with a sparkly bag or take your simple slip to the next level. Below are 10 options that will make your New Year’s Eve look truly shine.
