New Year's Eve doesn't have to be a parade of sequin mini skirts and dresses.
If you really want to stand out, consider something different this year — unless you're a fan of My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding, in which case, sizzle it up, sister.
For your holiday office party, Christmas dinner or New Year's Eve, stand out from the glittery crowd in a look that's both festive and elevated. Metallics, feathers and fringe make a sophisticated statement that's full of texture.

Here are four ways to celebrate in style, sans sequins.
1. Magical metallic
Alexis Bittar earrings, $198; Dune Eternity clutch, $142; Zimmermann dress, $850; Forever 21 heels, $29.90
Opulent fabrics like brocade instantly upgrade a classic cocktail dress.
Emphasize the gold floral pattern by adding accessories that complement or match the bright tone. The metallic theme adds celebratory shine that's sure to guarantee a jolly holiday.
2. Welcome to the pants party
Charming Charlie clutch, $39; Vince Camuto heels, $129; Elizabeth & James top, $296.25; Zimmermann pants, $795
This holiday season invest in a pair of party pants. Silk or sateen fabrics make for dressier trousers that can also be worn to work throughout the winter.
For your end of the year soiree, match mulberry-colored cigarette pants with a fun feathered camisole and studded box clutch.
3. Tough as nails and lovely as lace
Top Shop heels, $110; Self-Portrait dress, $410; Baublebar ring, $32; Shiraleah clutch, $52
Lace is often dismissed as too demure or feminine.
London based brand Self-Portrait shatters that stereotype, mixing both sporty and elegant elements into its garments, proving that lace can be tough and sexy.
Incorporate edgy accessories like lace-up pumps and asymmetrical jewelry for a fierce New Year's Eve look.
4. Glittery fabric fiesta
Baublebar earrings, $32; Christopher Kane heels, $519; Top Shop sweater, $50; Timo Weiland skirt, $209
Lurex was all over the fall 2015 runways. Lurex is a yarn that consists of shimmering metallic threads, an updated alternative to sequins and glitter and the perfect way to spice up your holiday style.
Pair the sparkly material in your sweater and heels with a fringe skirt to help you dance the night away long after the clock strikes midnight.
