Looking to jazz up your everyday outfits without going overboard? All it takes is a little sparkle! Whether you’re getting ready for a special occasion or just want to add something new and different to your casual looks, there are plenty of easy ways to add shine to your ensemble. Here are just a few ways that you can make your favorite outfits a little more glamorous!
Pearls
Pearls are a great way to add a subtle shimmer to your look. They’re not quite as bright and bold as rhinestones yet add an element of glamour that can instantly elevate your outfit. Pearls, even faux ones, catch the light in a much softer way than other embellishments, making them perfect for elegant evening looks and sophisticated professional ensembles.
We’re absolutely obsessed with these pearl-embellished denim pieces! Just in time for fall, these staples put a unique twist on autumn fashion favorites that will steal the spotlight in a subtle yet special way. Looking for something more formal for a special event? Look for dresses and suits with pearl embellishments or go the classic, old-school glam route with a pearl (or faux pearl) necklace, bracelet, or earrings.
Rhinestones
When you think of sparkle in the fashion scene, rhinestones are likely what you picture. These reflective, crystal-like details catch the light to create a gorgeous dynamic effect, adding bling to even the simplest of outfits. Some fashionistas even “bling out” clothing pieces and accessories that originally didn’t come with any embellishments by adding their own rhinestones, creating one-of-a-kind looks that truly shine.
Investing in a pair of rhinestone shoes or boots is a great way to add a touch of shine to your favorite outfits. Simply swapping out your usual sneakers for a blinged-out rhinestone pair can completely change the vibe and brighten both your look and your day. For more formal occasions, look for pumps or flats that have rhinestone details. You can match these to the gemstones on your jewelry or purse to pull the whole look together.
Sequins
Sequins are small, shiny, disc-shaped ornaments that can be grouped together into gorgeous, shimmery designs on dresses, tops, jackets, shoes, accessories, and much more. Even when featured by themselves in embroidered details, they instantly brighten any outfit. Because sequins come in so many different sizes and colors, it’s easy to find a sequined look that fits your sense of style.
If you’re looking to stay on the subtle side, look for embroidered jeans and denim jackets that feature sequins as part of the design. If you’re feeling bold, on the other hand, sequined tops and skirts are fantastic ways to make a statement. Think of the way those sequins will sparkle in the lights when you step out onto the dance floor on your next night out!
Metallics
If sparkles aren’t quite your thing, but you still want to add some shine to your look, metallics are a great way to do just that. They’ve been a runway staple for decades due to their versatility. Not only can metallics effortlessly match your favorite jewelry pieces to pull a look together, they also can make a statement all on their own.
A pair of metallic pumps is a great addition to any woman’s wardrobe. These can be paired with slacks and dresses for a professional look that shines, or with dark denim jeans for a night-out look that packs a punch. For more casual occasions, swap in metallic boots. Fall is boot season after all; you hit two trends in one!
Studs
Studs take the shine of the metallic trend and combine it with an interesting texture element to create a unique look. Often associated with punk style, studs are a great way to add an edgy vibe to your everyday outfits. Studs come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and colors, giving you ton of different options to choose from. Break out those studded pieces from the early 2000s, they’re making a comeback!
When it comes to studs, you don’t have to go as bold as your favorite rock stars. Look for pieces that use studs as trim details for a unique look that isn’t too overwhelming. Accessories, shoes, and bags that feature studs are also a great place to start when trying out this trend. These can easily be added to outfits that you already and love, giving your iconic looks an extra something special.
