With the Times Square ball drop, celebratory fireworks, and
sequined party dresses, New Year's Eve is inarguably the most glimmering night
of the year. But why limit to yourself to wearing sparkles only on New Years?
Sparkles can be worn day or night, to the office or out for a night on the
town- when done tastefully of course! A touch of sparkle can be glamorous and eye-catching, but
going too far can look gaudy and overdone. Here are a few tips on how to
add a little sparkle into your daily life:
1. Don’t get
too fancy. When shopping for a sequined number, choose one with a basic
silhouette, and keep your accessories to a minimum. Your outfit is already
going to make a statement; you don’t need over-the-top accessories as well.
2. Balance
it out. If you wear a sparkly top, you need to wear neutral bottoms, and
vice versa. You should never wear more than one sparkly item of clothing,
especially during the day.
3. Mix
textures. Try throwing a tweed blazer jacket over a sequin top, or wear a
denim vest on top of a sequined sweater. Fashion is supposed to be fun, right?
4. Incorporate
small pops of sparkle. Try adding sparkle polish during your next manicure
appointment, or wear add shimmering lip-gloss to your everyday makeup routine.
5. Dress
down. If you want to keep things casual, you can pair a sequined top with a
pair of baggy boyfriend jeans for the perfect comfy-chic outfit.
6. Why not
DIY? A fun way to make an old outfit new again is to jazz it up with jewels
or glitter from the craft store. Try adding sparkle to the collar or cuffs of
dress shirts or blouses. Don’t go overboard; keep it to a row of large jewels
and keep the accents small.
So there you have it. Six surefire ways to glam up your
outfit throughout the year. Try them out, and see how sparkles can do wonders
to your wardrobe!
