Berlin is the ultimate party city, and New Year’s Eve is the perfect time to celebrate its iconic nightlife. From hip house parties in Kreuzberg to chic rooftop soirées and legendary underground raves, there’s no shortage of ways to welcome the new year in style. To help you do just that, we’ve created a guide with outfit suggestions for every kind of Berlin NYE celebration.
As always, our recommendations highlight Berlin-based brands to support the local scene. Here's to a night – and a look – to remember!
Ringing in the New Year from a rooftop, with Berlin’s skyline and the iconic TV tower in the background while sipping an espresso martini, is a magical way to start the year – and your outfit should be as dazzling as the view.
Dressing for a rooftop party in Berlin, whether at House of Weekend or the Monbijoux Hotel Rooftop, is all about creating a story. Marcel Ostertag offers the perfect storytelling ensemble with his SS25 Eden collection. Think dreamy sunset fabrics, available in both short and long dresses that radiate retro charm, as we saw during Berlin Fashion Week 2024. For men, the collection features an equally striking jumpsuit option, giving off an entrancing psychedelic vibe.
Complete the look with burnt orange sunglasses – a nod to the '60s aesthetic – delicate silver jewelry, and a cozy faux fur jacket to stay warm as the temperature dips. It’s an outfit designed to shine in the glow of Berlin’s rooftops and create unforgettable memories.
House parties in creative Kreuzberg or hip Friedrichshein are a staple in the arsenal of Berlin’s NYE celebrations. These intimate gatherings, often turning into large-scale parties, let you express individuality through bold fashion choices, and what better way to channel that vibe than with Anne Isabella’s dynamic designs?
In her LENTiCULAR collection, Anne Isabella brings to the front a color palette anchored in the Pop modes of the ‘60s: vibrant solstitial hues, such as oranges, blues, and pinks. Her lenticular patterns featured in retro-chick outfits are a perfect match for the spirited, artsy energy of Berlin’s house parties. Meanwhile, monochromatic mini dolly dresses with gently ruffled spirals can be paired with electric print zebra boots and bold shorts – perfect for a dreamy yet edgy neighbourhood-ready look.
To complete your ensemble, incorporate statement jewelry. Atelier Elle Pé’s unconventional designs – crafted from bamboo sculptures casted into gold or silver – are guaranteed conversation starters that resonate with the unique creativity of Berlin’s NYE vibe.
For a glamorous cocktail party, we’ve envisioned the ultimate look that ensures all eyes are on you. Aline Celi, an ethical and sustainable brand, has mastered sequined outfits – ideal for a night of glitz and celebration in Berlin. Whether it’s a dazzling power suit paired with a crisp white button-up and sleek hairstyle, a silver bodycon dress that shimmers like the city lights, or a goddess-like one-shoulder gown that elegantly flatters your figure, these outfits exude confidence and sophistication.
To complete your look, stilettos are a must – the higher and shinier, the better. Add a sequin clutch that would make even Carrie Bradshaw proud and pair the look with bold statement jewelry to take it to the next level. This combination guarantees you'll shine brighter than the Berlin skyline on New Year’s Eve.
Berlin’s techno parties are legendary and call for a look that’s just as iconic. Whether you’re going to time-tested Berghain or a lesser-known underground party, you deserve an outfit that will see you through the entire night but also says “New Year’s Eve” in style.
The classic Berghain style – minimalist, functional, and dark – is always a safe bet, but why not take it up a notch for the occasion? Elevate your typical all-black look with statement pieces from Vanessa Baernthol. Her pearl-embellished corsets, bras, and chokers double as accessories and showstopping main pieces. Pair them with a sheer mesh top or wear them boldly on their own for a sexy, elegant vibe that will make an entrance both in the club and into the new year. Complete the look with chunky boots and a leather jacket for that quintessential Berlin edge.
Ivy Berlin also has an arsenal of daring outfits that look as if they were made for KitKat. Latex lingerie with silver chains will make you feel both sexy and standout, while their Lara Croft-inspired strappy tops and dark burgundy leopard-print biker shorts are ideal for these all-night dance marathons, where sexy meets comfort meets cool.
For a more intimate celebration centered around a gourmet meal, your outfit should strike the perfect balance between refinement and comfort, ideal for enjoying a multi-course dinner.
Picture this: a chic mini skirt paired with an airy white blouse, preferably with a collar or an integrated scarf detail, alongside a tailored blazer. The accessories? Knee-high stilettos for that added elegance. The color scheme should center around rich burgundy, the season’s standout hue. Whether in a luxurious monochrome velvet or a patterned cotton, this look oozes sophistication.
Berlin-based brand Dorothee Schumacher offers all the key pieces to pull off this stunning New Year’s Eve look. Accessories-wise, we love the elegant bracelets and necklaces by PRUM, made from healing beads. These add a bold yet effortlessly exclusive touch to your outfit.
For your hair, loose waves with highlights bring movement and a casual Berlin vibe, while a sleek updo will elevate your look to match the evening's glamour. This refined yet laid-back style ensures you’re both stylish and comfortable throughout your special night.
With these outfit ideas, you’ll be ready to welcome the new year in Berlin with flair, whatever the night has in store!
