Holiday Sparkle, All Year Long
The holidays may be over, but your festive wardrobe doesn’t have to go into hiding. Sequins, metallics, and statement accessories deserve their moment outside of party season! The trick is learning how to integrate them into your everyday outfits for a polished and wearable look - so let me show you how!
Start Small with Accessories
If sequined dresses feel too bold, opt for glittery shoes, metallic bags, or statement jewelry to add a touch of sparkle to your outfit. They instantly make a neutral outfit more intriguing and put together. You can pair it with an all-black outfit for a big pop or blend it in a bit more for the daytime by adding a grey item to your outfit.
Balance Sparkle with Basics
Pair a metallic pleated skirt with a cozy knit sweater or a sequined blazer with classic blue jeans for an effortlessly chic style. This makes for the ideal office to dinner outfit transformation! If you’re bored with your everyday outfit, this is the best way to look at your wardrobe in a brand new way! Take all the items you’re just sick of wearing and try building outfits with your sequins.
Subtle Daytime Shimmer
Incorporate fabrics with a hint of sparkle, like lamé or beaded details, for understated elegance that works during the day. Style is in the details! You could even DIY this yourself - and craft store will have sequins, pearls, and glitter thread for you to revamp any old sweaters.
Wearable Metallic Makeup
Experiment with metallic eyeshadow or nail polish to extend the sparkle into your beauty routine. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Personally I love just a basic one tone sparkly silver eyeshadow - not too much - but just enough to make my eyes pop!
Your holiday sparkle doesn’t have to collect dust until December rolls around again. With these tips, you can keep the magic alive all year long. Fashion is all about having fun and being expressive, so don’t hesitate to throw in a bit of glitter - it’s not just for the kids! Don’t trust me? Here is my take on it! Have some fun and tag me in your pictures!
