It’s a gorgeous season
And there’s even more reason to be bold with your holiday fashion choices this year.
Why? Because designers and celebs alike love sparkle and sensationalism
It makes dressing up for party season a joy—and let’s face it, we could all use some mood-boosting outfits right now.
Take Beyoncé
For example. Inspired by Studio 54 and ’70s New York discotheques, the singer and style icon has released an incredible series of sparkly, diamond-encrusted wire looks since her Renaissance album.
Brands like Burberry and Halpern also gave us an old-fashioned glow in their fall shows, with bejeweled « nude » dresses and colorful sequin combinations.
Fashionistas are following suit
As styling service Stitch Fix (stitchfix.com) reported that searches for ‘sequins’ (322%) and ‘metallic’ (115%) on the platform in November as shoppers searched for ‘disco clothing’ volume surged. .
While red is traditionally the color of Christmas
Since the rise of the « Barbie doll » trend and Valentino creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli’s viral Pink PP collection, pink has taken hold — and into party season, too.
From cocktail dresses and sequined separates to handbags and this season’s must-have platform pumps, fuchsia delivers maximum impact with the least fuss and can be seen everywhere on the high street.
As for accessories
If you’re looking for a way to liven up a classic black suit or LBD, look no further than a runway-inspired beaded clutch and strappy pumps.
