Glitter Up: The Freshest Ways To Do Sparkle After Holiday Season
We’re willing to bet that you’ve got a sequin dress stashed somewhere in your closet. Sure, you love to break it out for New Year’s Eve or a night at the club, but what if we told you that glitter can (and should) be a part of your life every day? There’s nothing to brighten up your mood and add a bit of whimsical flair like a dose of glitter, but getting the right balance of shine and elegance can be tricky.
Why limit your glittery moments to nights and holidays? Follow our tips ahead for finding your best everyday glitz.
As A Casual Contrast:
Balance out glam tights with tonal, graphic pieces to keep things looking fresh. A minidress has all the trappings of a successful look, but finish it off with subtly glittery gray tights and you’re instant street style bait.
On The Bottom:
A standout pair of metallic bottoms is far more interesting than the standard going-out top —and why waste time with the ordinary? Pair a brilliant lamé skirt or lurex pant with a dark turtleneck or sweater—the simplicity of the top with the wow factor of the bottom make it somehow both office-appropriate and evening focused.
As An Accent:
Glimmering lurex socks are a detail that gives any look a delightful surprise. Slip them on under sneakers, flaunt them under heeled sandals, let them peek out of tough winter boots—they always look right.
On Top:
You don’t need an occasion to add glitz, but when you do, even the dullest day will feel more fabulous. Inject some brilliance into your business staples by swapping out your standard blazer for something that sparkles.
As A Layer:
A shiny shirt or pant in a casual silhouette opens up possibilities for some very creative layering. Why not make that base layer a piece to remember? A shimmery lurex turtleneck or legging makes an interesting foundation for a pinafore dress or long coat that peeks out like jewelry.
