There’s nothing more vintage than loads of bling, especially when it comes to celebrating New Years. That’s why the best companion to this year’s little black dress is strategically placed shimmer and sparkling gems. Need a little sassy style inspiration? Don’t mind if we do:

Just think simple color combos, stick to either solitaires or all-over detailing, and coordinate the busyness of accessories with that of the outfit (like by pairing larger or more opulent pieces with simple solid color cocktail dresses, or paired down monochromatic items with busy patterned and rouched frocks).
One thing that also works great with this style: cocktail rings. These gorgeous costume jewelry pieces can be a beautiful addition to a retro party ensemble. The same rules as above will generally apply, but for the most part be sure to just have fun with them. And for those who are sporting a real diamond on the left hand, it’s equally cute and festive to balance your outfit by placing cocktail jewelry on the ring finger of your right hand. Because the size is likely to differ, the symmetrical placement will streamline the look without being too matchy-matchy. Like most other things that happen on New Years Eve, it’s pretty much a win-win.
