The biggest night of the year? Coincidentally, it’s the last. But choosing a killer party outfit isn’t always easy. That’s why we enlisted the help of Rue Assistant Stylist Susie L. to help us kick off 2014 in style.

Women
Wearing sparkles on New Year’s Eve is pretty much an unwritten rule. And this blush sequin dress fits the bill. Add a bright crossbody, strappy sandals, minimal jewelry (like these tiny gold bangles), and a flute of champagne for good measure.

Men
Even if you’re not attending a fancy ball on NYE, you can still rock dapper pieces. Add some festive interest with a navy velvet blazer and gold tie. Then throw on black pants and lace-up dress shoes for an extra-sharp touch. That midnight kiss is as good as yours.
