How to curate a chic NYE look with All Things Coach
It’s too early to talk about New Year’s Eve plans and attire when Christmas hasn’t even arrived yet. And yet, the end of the year is coming faster than you can say “mistletoe kiss.” That’s why we seriously recommend you start combing through your closet to find the NYE ensemble that will make you the most memorable guest at your party. What if you can’t find something suitable for the grand occasion at hand? Of course, the best place to buy festive yarn is Coach.
You may be familiar with the brand’s wide range of celebrity-favorite handbag silhouettes, from the bohemian-inspired Bella Hadid-approved Brooklyn to the chic Tabby worn by Laura Tung. And make the most of your wallet, which has everything you need for New Year’s Eve, including your digital camera, ID, emergency bandages, and your go-to lipstick. teethsure, is a classic in this context, but our editors are here to spotlight Coach’s other top-rated products that are worth your hard-earned cash right now, from boucle vests and dot-print dresses to comfortable yet classy Soho sneakers that will keep you dancing all night without getting hampered by blisters.
This year, the main trends surrounding the search term “NYE outfit” seem to revolve around lots of sparkle (and let’s be honest, it stays the same every year). Short dress silhouettes to expose your legs (when else?). Maximalist color (or a pop of color to spice up a timeless all-black look). Sensual fabrics such as lace and crepe. We’ll also spotlight that one statement accessory that can put on a bigger show than a midnight ball drop.
As for the latter, Coach doesn’t just stop at the aforementioned Brooklyn and Tabby. In fact, the Coach Plaza bag is also a prime candidate for the handbag you can’t live without on December 31st, and all of these styles can be further enhanced by the brand’s top-of-the-line bag charms, including the classic cherry bag charm (cherries are a fitting symbol of prosperity and new beginnings) and the fun-sized, family-favorite shearling teddy bear bag charm.
Here are three New York attire formulas that will continue to impress well beyond the final hours of 2025. (Warning: You’ll probably end up wearing them again for every fancy event in the Year of the Horse).

Coach Tabby Chain Crossbody Bag 19 NYE Outfit
Coach’s Tabby Chain Crossbody Bag is thoroughly sophisticated, with quilted nappa leather, gleaming gold hardware, and 1970s design. We like that this slinger offers the option of being worn as a wristlet. And the quiet, luxurious Chalk colorway (awarded Pantone Color of the Year!) works best when paired with the Heritage C Bouclé Jacket, whose cotton-blend composition and artistic buttons combine wearability with great looks.
To keep this white as crisp as possible, contrast it with the label’s Sculpted C Tweed Skirt. Benefiting from a box pleat design, it has an architectural aesthetic that will help you look like Jackie O at festivals. Finally, top things off with a little height with a pair of smooth leather booties (especially Coach Tall Boots) that will take you from dinner to the after-party while keeping comfort top of mind.
