You can choose from embellished tops, velvet tops, shiny trousers ,studded jackets or metallic accessories – not to forget about our favourite embellishment: Sequins.  Glam, glitz and shine add attention to a body part. Therefore it is best to put the spotlight only there where you feel most comfortable . Keep current by turning the glitter down by combining it with knits, oversized cardigans, tweeds or T-shirt or wool garments.

One can’t wear the same outfit to all of them since many guests at the special occasions are overlapping. At the same time you can’t always afford to buy a new dress or a new outfit. As well you can’t wear the same outfit from last years or the years before- especially when you were not only seen in it but also the evidence exists in pictures. So, therefore think if the dress is king the accessories are queens!

You can add shine by choosing clothes  in fabrics such as sequins, metallics, lurex, studs or jewels. Anything goes – even for the day.

The trick for the day is to keep it to a small amount where the purpose is more to lift’s ones complexion. It should be used more as an accent “colour” rather to make a “shining “impression.

The best way to wear “Glam” and “Flash” now is to wear just one shiny piece-small or big- at a time. Remember that metallics draw attention to whatever body part you wear it on, because the light reflection will grab attention. So, make sure you are highlighting a flattering part of your body otherwise you will just achieve the opposite of “Glam”.

It can be at times quite challenging to keep the choice appropriate for the occasion ,current and right for your body shape.

Here are the top 3 tips how to wear them:

  • Keep it current by accessorizing your metallic’s with the right clothing that will neutralise the shine, so nobody will have flash backs from “80ies” when seeing you. Metallic tops or trousers look great with knits, T-shirt and jeans- mix match your look rather going for matchy matchy! Click here for more info
  • Know your personal colouring when choosing between silver & gold metallics. It can badly clash when choosing the wrong metallics too close to your face. Click here for more info
  • Body shape! Don’t be fooled by the item because it looks so nice, or it is the latest or everyone wears and has it who is hip and in. Highlight body features that can take the lime light. Remember metallics need space to shine and breathe, but they will also add “volume” to the part in question. So, make sure it highlights the best of you where you can take the clutter, volume and glam. Click here for more info
