Christmas is over, but the holidays aren't quite finished yet. New Year's is fast approaching, and it's high time to think about your outfit so you're not caught off guard.
Although we may be tempted by the occasional nature of the event, let's avoid buying fast fashion clothes that are extremely bad for the environment and our health. It is entirely possible to treat yourself in a different way while respecting your desires and ethical values.
Throughout December, we shared tips and advice for preparing a responsible Christmas. Today, we are offering you a list of ideas to find the perfect ethical outfit for New Year's.
#1 - A chic outfit for a family meal
For this look, simply mix casual pieces with slightly dressier ones. The oversized Vince 2.0 trousers by 1985 Créations and the “Conception” cotton shirt by My Tailor is Joh make the perfect pair. For accessories, we're going for minimalist and sleek with the extra-large Circle ring by Cho Bijoux and the small vegan round bag in Amazone cork by Vdeb. For shoes, we recommend the vegan sneakers with thick soles Edda by Nae Shoes.
DETAILS:
- Vince 2.0 trousers by 1985 Créations, €225
- “Conception” cotton shirt (white) by My Tailor is Joh, €165
- Vegan sneakers with thick soles I Edda by Nae Shoes, €120
- Ultra-wide unisex Circle ring by Cho Bijoux, €170

#2 - A bohemian and colorful outfit for a festive party with friends
For a colorful look, we recommend the Tropical Escape dress by Nêge Paris with its loose, flowing cut. If it's not being used as an evening dress, this piece is primarily a nightdress. So it's two in one. For even more color, opt for the cinnamon color of the Chicago heeled sandals by 1 People. As for ethical accessories, we recommend the trio that will turn every head: the Ouyouni earrings, ring, and bracelet by the Lebanese brand Nounzein. They are dipped in gold and handmade by the designer. Since it's impossible to go to a party without a bag, we recommend the large Trousse Chemise macramé bag by The Knotting Studio. With its orange color reminiscent of the dress's tones, you can store all your essentials in it.
DETAILS:
- Ouyouni Earrings I Turquoise Eye by Nêge Paris, €85
- Heeled sandals I Chicago (canela) by 1people, €159
- Ouyouni Earrings I Turquoise Eye by Nouzein, €135
- Ouyouni gold bracelet I Turquoise eye by Nouzein, €70
- Ouyouni Ring I Blue eye by Nounzein, €70

#3 - A classic outfit for a casual party with friends
Classic style is characterized by timeless pieces in fairly neutral or basic colors such as beige, gray, or navy blue. You can opt for a white top you already have in your wardrobe with the green corduroy overshirt and simple gray jeans from the French ready-to-wear brand Sobo. For shoes and accessories, we're sticking to something simple and understated with a waterproof and reversible bucket hat by Hanoi Paris and the beige vegan sneakers by Nae Shoes.
DETAILS:
- Men's jeans (gray) by Sobo, €139
- Unisex green corduroy overshirt by Sobo, €135
- Axel waterproof reversible bucket hat by Hanoi Paris, €55
-
Beige vegan shoes Edda by Nae Shoes, €120
#4 - A chill outfit for staying at home
For some, comfort comes before partying! To be comfortable on the dance floor or simply chill in front of the TV without stressing about your outfit, a sweatshirt and joggers are the solution. For this, we recommend the unisex Longue Vue sweatshirt by the French brand Lundi au Soleil and the Nanar joggers by Billie Family, both made from organic and recycled materials. Not to mention, the Sofia XL fanny pack by Hindbag and the hemp cap by Gorfoo for a completely casual look.
DETAILS:
- Unisex Longue Vue sweatshirt by Lundi au Soleil, €75
- Nanar joggers by Billie Family, €69
- XL Sofia fanny pack I by Hindbag, €48
-
Unisex hemp cap by Gorfoo, €35
#5 - A practical and comfortable outfit for children
New Year's is really not a fun "party" for children. When we party, we stay up late and they end up falling asleep in their parents' arms. For the outfit, we focus on comfort and practicality. For the top, a La vie est belle sweatshirt by the family brand Billie Family to wear with sports leggings. Not to mention the accessories, an upcycled fabric bow hair clip by Libellule Fabrique that adapts to all hair types (curly, straight, coily...). Finally, a hemp cat comforter by Green Cat in case of sadness and a Unicorn backpack by Arsayo to carry it.
DETAILS:
- La Vie est Belle sweatshirt by Billie Family, €48
- Bow hair clip by Libellule Fabrique, €5
- Hemp cat comforter by Green Cat, €36
- Silver vegan unisex backpack I Unicorn by Arsayo, €49 instead of €99
Here are 5 outfits for New Year's that prove you can dress from head to toe in an ethical way. All the clothes offered in this selection are timeless. They are therefore destined to stay in your wardrobe for a long time!
It is important to remember that a party outfit is above all an outfit that reflects us and in which we feel good. You can easily mix several styles and different pieces if you wish.
