Whether you'll be sipping fizzy drinks under city lights, setting off sparklers at a beachside bonfire, or huddling up with a cozy group of friends in the great indoors, your New Year's Eve is likely to be a little chilly (to say the very least). Relatively speaking, if you're out, staying up past midnight in December (going on January), the temperature outside is just going to be colder than it is during your normal hours of operation — this is true no matter what coast, timezone, or line of latitude you'll occupy this New Year's Eve.

Nothing against the tried and true anorak or puffer coat you've been working all winter thus far, but this is a special night. Thus, you'll need a stylish coat or jacket to ring in 2013 looking cool and staying warm. Since the big night is right around the corner (and retailers are ALREADY starting to stock their shelves with spring collections *sound of price guns attaching winter clearance tags*), we've rounded up a few of our favorite outerwear options available right now. From luxurious faux furs and mod monochromatics to '90s-channeling downtown toppers and comfy coats fit for the Oregon Trail, there's something for almost every personal steez. Happy shopping!

FAUX FUR, REAL LUXE

New Year's Eve Coats & Jackets

A big furry coat is a great way to make a statement with outerwear — just ask Macklemore — which makes it kind of the perfect New Year's Eve jacket. Better yet, finding fashionable faux furs is easier than ever whether your taste is classic like this MINKPINK "Cruella Faux Fur Coat" from Urban Outfitters ($190.00), über-trendy like this "Ombre Faux Mongolian Fur Coat" from Topshop ($178.00), or funky like this "Longline Animal Fur Coat" with a cheetah print from ASOS ($140.72).

New Year's Eve Dresses

First up: we have a set a frocks for the ladies willing to show a little bit of skin. Me-ow! For the ultimate girly-girl, we're OB-SESSED with this totally glam ASOS pale pink embellished layered tulle dress ($90). It fits super snug at the waist, and then flares out for an oh-so-feminine silhouette. The surprise is the back of the dress, though, which is totally open! If you want to go ALL OUT this NYE, we recommend the ombre teal-to-copper Topshop metallic dress with cut-outs on the front and back of the frock ($360). All eyes will be on you! Another dress we love oh-so-much is this jewel-encrusted ASOS shift ($80). The super simple black dress is covered in multicolored gems and sequins for a bold but beautiful look that can be finished off with a killer pair of heels, a high bun, and not much else!

Listen, we know you're probably STILL eyeballs deep in holiday shopping right now, and your bank account is weeping uncontrollably with every new swipe of your credit card, but just remember: there's a light at the end of the tunnel. The light's called "Spring/Summer 2013," and thanks to our friends at Lil Wayne's breakout streetwear line, Trukfit, we have more than enough ocular helpings of sneak peek neon and prints and skater steez to tide us over until this collection hits stores in January. We got a special tour of Trukfit's New York headquarters courtesy of Trukfit's VP of Merchandising, Frances Wong, Marketing Manager, Mike Morris, and their publicist, Sarah Cunningham, all of whom showed us what's on the horizon for future seasons of Weezy's line. Also, they dropped some serious industry knowledge on how Wanye's ideas become actual, physical clothes, and we nerded out, hanging on every word.

House of Holland's new Pom Family t-shirts.

Get ready to reevaluate that stash of t-shirts taking up space in your closet, because Henry Holland is changing the way we wear our plain white tees. The House of Holland designer has just rolled out his Pom Family collection of tops and sweatshirts, each of which comes stamped with his adorably quirky "pom pom people" designs. They're cute enough to wear on their own, but because it's Henry Holland we're talking about and he never does anything halfway, these cotton crewnecks ALSO possess superpowers— dancing characters. Sure, we were skeptical at first too, until we saw this video, which showcases the designs rocking out to an oddly appropriate Missy Elliot soundtrack. All you have to do is download the app from the iTunes store, hold your phone or iPad up to the t-shirts, and BOOM! Insta dance party. Watch the video below, and then shop the PomPom Collection here...because trust us, you're going to want to.

Elastic Strap Leggings

Would you wear these elastic strap leggings?

Let me start by saying that I, truthfully, don't have anything against leggings. I know they cause a lot of spikes in blood pressure when people apply them as equal substitutes for pants, and sure, that's a bad look. But pair them with a way oversized button-up or a boyfriend sweater? I say that's fair game. Leggings are just too comfortable to be completely outcast as a class of garment for the fashionable public. This particular pair of leggings, on the other hand, we're open to debating. We recently stumbled on these elastic strap leggings from Anzevino & Florence while perusing the digital racks of 80's Purple and have been scratching our heads about them ever since.

Beyonce

We've been following this faux fashion graphic trend that takes the iconic logos of major fashion houses and satirizes and repurposes them in fresh streetwear designs. Now, Beyonce is getting in on the action with a cream-colored sweatshirt emblazoned with Chanel's interlocking C logo rendered in leopard print. As soon as we saw this elevator snap Bey Instagrammed of herself wearing this relaxed boyfriend style crewneck, bright red skinnies, gold oxfords, and colorful illustrated snapback, we hit the Internet ground running, trying to identify and procure every element of her ensemble. Sorry, Bey for biting your style, but imitation is the highest form of flattery, right?

Alexander Wang

With his eponymous Ready-To-Wear label AND a recent appointment as the new creative director of Balenciaga, Alexander Wang is one busy dude. But despite his jam-packed schedule, the designer has somehow found time to roll out a second "Objects" line that conveniently coincides with last-minute holiday wishlists. Whereas his "Objects No. 1" collection included super sleek household items like card decks and notebooks, for round 2 he's giving even MORE stuff his signature edgy twist. Think leather eye masks, faux snakeskin flasks, and pool toys...available in an all-black colorway, obviously. And justttt in case you're wondering what a designer pool toy actually MEANS, well, in this case think shark-shaped floaties made of black PVC and retailing for $40. Sure, it might not technically fit into our daily lives as Wang claims online (we don't have a pool nor do we need a float), but it's so ridiculous we still almost want it.

Beyonce Baroque Dress

Baroque print is officially trending, y'all! From red carpet dresses to nail art to on-stage ensembles, the brocade-inspired design is taking OVER this holiday season. Want even more proof? Well, we spotted Beyonce out and about in NYC earlier this week sporting—you guessed it—a baroque print dress, which we think officially solidifies this trend. #shutitdown Bey wore a Torn by Ronny Kobo skin-tight shift with patent leather nude pumps, giant emerald earrings, a leopard box clutch, and a sleek high pony, which we LOVE. Obvi we wanted to cop this entire look as much as we possibly could, and thanks to our super internet-sleuthing skills (or, you know, Google), we rounded up our favorite baroque bodycon dresses that you can snatch up right this second!

Leather Overalls

Given the skyrocketing trend status of leather and overalls as individual fashion things, we had a feeling, deep at the bottom of our gold-plated hearts, that these mammothly head-turning style elements would soon join forces. Nasty Gal, one of our go-to e-retailers, featured them prominently on Australian model Bambi Northwood-Blythe for their December look book, and while this was the first thing to REALLY get our gears turning on the full-body statement piece, this is definitely not the only, or even the first, instance of this eyebrow-raising style.

Kenzo tarot cards

Say whatever you want about crystal balls, fortune tellers, or Ouija boards...but predicting the future just got a WHOLE lot more stylish, thanks to Kenzo. The label, which is helmed by Opening Ceremony's Humberto Leon and Carol Lim, has just unveiled a new deck of tarot cards aptly titled "PSY-CHIC" (get it?). With original prints by artist Michael Willis, the 22-card set is splashed with a boldly quirky mix of colors, patterns, and prints— yep, much like the covetable collections Kenzo parades down the runway each season.

I love these two as a couple. What a festive way to celebrate two important events in their life. Mariah looks like a dream.
