Chic gals know that glamour isn't necessarily formal, that you don't always need to be trussed up in some body-sucking dress, or tottering on sci-fi heels to celebrate the year's end with flash. Whether you're one of the million or so freezing at the ball drop in Times Square or hanging around a TV with friends and family, there's a new, easy, dressed-down glam.
"You want to be comfortable but, oh, puh-lease don't wear a Snuggie for New Year's Eve," begs Phillip Bloch, the celebrity stylist. "And don't fall for the fancy fashion pressure of the night. Go for casual elegance instead by mixing evening with daywear and going a little off-kilter, but still a little sexy."
Get your quirky on, suggests Tom Mora, head of women's design at J. Crew. It's all about "tongue-in-cheek and mixing casual with dressy, boy with girl," he says. Consider an uber-glam sequin ball skirt with a humble, cotton T-shirt, or a cozy sweatshirt with sparkle. Home revelers "don't want to be overdressed," says Mora. "The modern hostess can open the door wearing sequins, a casual button-down shirt and go barefoot." Yes ... barefoot!

The importance of being ladylike: Gyles as the redoubtable Lady Bracknell
I am now standing in a pair of rather elegant high heels — size 9. Finding them wasn't easy and trying them on was a nightmare. I was like one of the Ugly Sisters trying to force my clodhoppers into Cinderella's dainty glass slipper. ...
