New Year’s Eve always feels like the ultimate excuse to dress up—whether you’re heading to a lively night out, hosting an intimate dinner, or staying in with champagne and a cozy blanket. But the best outfits are the ones that don’t just shine for one night; they carry you through the season with ease, comfort, and a touch of style that feels both festive and timeless.
That’s where Sézane comes in. Their pieces are designed with the kind of versatility that works for the holiday season and the colder months that follow. I’ve been wearing several of these outfits on rotation for everything from festive dinners to casual afternoons, and they’ve reminded me that great winter style is about striking the balance between cozy and elevated.
Here are two outfit ideas—perfect for ringing in the New Year but equally wearable in January and beyond.
Velvet Blazer with Black Jeans
There’s something about velvet that instantly says celebration. Rich, textured, and just the right amount of bold, it has a way of turning even the simplest outfit into a statement. My favorite is the Sézane Odessa Jacket, a piece that feels like the definition of holiday chic.
Crafted from embroidered velvet with metallic details and a removable belt, the Odessa is not only beautiful but surprisingly comfortable—a rare find when it comes to statement jackets. Every time I wear it, I get compliments, and it’s easy to see why. It strikes the balance between eye-catching and versatile, which means it doesn’t get stuck in the “special occasion only” category.
For New Year’s Eve, I love pairing it with sleek black jeans like Sézane’s Brut Sexy Jeans, and a cozy knit such as the Charly Jumper layered underneath. Add ankle boots for a polished but relaxed look that works whether you’re going out or staying in. And if you want to play with texture, swap the jeans for a silk skirt or a slip dress—the Odessa transitions beautifully from casual to dressy.

Camel Coat with a Cozy Sweater and Boots
Not every New Year’s Eve needs sequins and sparkle. Sometimes, the perfect outfit is one that’s warm, chic, and easy to throw on for everything from a festive dinner to a late-night stroll under twinkling lights. For that, I reach for the Sézane Rick Coat.
This coat is, simply put, a dream. Made of double-faced wool, it’s soft and luxurious yet structured enough to make every outfit feel intentional. The wrap style is flattering and endlessly chic—like something you’d imagine a Parisian wearing while dashing between cafés.
The beauty of the Rick Coat is in its versatility. I’ve worn it over sweatpants on lazy days, over leggings when running errands, and over dressier pieces for evenings out. It transforms everything it touches. For New Year’s Eve, I love it styled with the Charly Jumper, Brut Sexy Jeans, and the Tessa Boots. To keep things cozy yet polished, I like mixing neutral tones—pairing black with camel or layering different shades of brown and cream. It’s simple, timeless, and perfect for winter.

Dressing for New Year’s Eve and Beyond
What I love most about both of these looks is that they’re not “one-night-only” outfits. They feel celebratory enough for New Year’s Eve but seamlessly transition into everyday wear for January and February. The Odessa Jacket can elevate a mid-week coffee date; the Rick Coat will keep you looking polished on the coldest days.
That’s the beauty of investing in pieces that combine elegance with practicality. They not only add excitement to your wardrobe during the holiday season, but they also become staples that you reach for again and again.
As we head into the new year and the heart of winter, I’m leaning into styles that make me feel both cozy and inspired—because sometimes, getting dressed in something you truly love is the best way to brighten the coldest days.
So whether you’re staying home with friends, heading to a glittering party, or enjoying a quiet evening with loved ones, these looks offer a reminder: you don’t need a brand-new outfit for every occasion. With thoughtful, versatile pieces, your wardrobe can carry you through each season in style.
