With proper styling, "sparkly stuff" to wear this holiday can be fashionably fancy, according to Marie Claire. This season, store shelves are usually dominated with glittery and sparkly pieces, and if you're drawn to the style but hesitate because you aren't sure how to pull it off without looking cheap, here are a few tips to keep in mind:
1) Stick to flowy dresses or skirts, avoid ultra-tight-fitting sequined clothes.
Tight sparkly clothes look "clubby," according to Marie Claire, so choose a piece that's a bit flowy and comes with a longer hemline for a dress or skirt. This way, the clothes can offer more movement. Sparkly items can catch light beautifully. Think of how amazing this effect would be once you walk around wearing it. You can match a flowy sequined piece with a turtleneck for an updated and fresher look.
5) Use sparkles as accessories.
Amp your outfit with metallic shoes or a fancy glittered handbag. Sometimes, you can make the accents the central piece of your wardrobe ensemble. "Sparkle always makes me feel festive, but I like to wear tasteful sparkle at night. For me, it's all about jewelry, but your bags and shoes can be jewelry too!" said Bryn Poulos of Giuseppe Zanotti, via Cosmopolitan.
