If you plan on partying past midnight this New Year's Eve, skip the dress and throw on some pants for non stop dancing. Menswear for women raided the runways this past season. Feminine twists on men's dress up clothing are sticking around for the new year as well. This holiday outfit was inspired by the looks of Balmain, Ralph Lauren and Stella McCartney. And you'll be surprised how much less you'll need to spend to pull it off!
