Go straight to the source. Call the lounge and ask what their normal dress code is. New Year's Eve will always require classier dress, but getting an idea of the usual attire is a good place to start. You may even want to ask what the dress was like on New Year's Eve last year or try to find photos to get a basic concept of the dress.

Know the rules. As a general guide, bright colors are more favored on New Year's than blacks. Lounge lighting tends to be soft, as well, increasing the need for colors and flair. Showing some skin for women is encouraged, as the celebration is fun and spirited. Men should know whether a suit or tuxedo is needed, and if not, you can do your own take on dressy casual.

Wear the right shoes. Shoes are sometimes the most important aspect of a New Year's outfit. Think about how much you plan on walking to the lounge, standing throughout the night, and, of course, dancing. Pick something dressy but comfortable to ensure your outfit is a hit and you can also have a fun New Year's celebration without worrying about discomfort.

Try on any outfits you have in mind. Get opinions of friends and family members as to whether it's fun and festive but appropriate. Don't hesitate to start from scratch if you don't love the outfit. Sometimes, having two or three options to choose from is the best way to decide on a sure-fire winner.
