You’ll know just what outfit to wear for the next holiday party with our ideas on how to wear glitter and metallics. Whether you prefer subtle shine or bold sparkle – we have looks that cover anything from casual outings with friends to office party mingling, and even the most fabulous nighttime soirées!

GLITTER & SHINE SKIRTS:

The outfit possibilities are endless when it comes to shiny statement skirts! Match a sequin pencil skirt with a sweater and boots for an easy-wear outfit to the office party, or pair metallic pleats with a leather jacket, tee and white sneakers for an easy weekend look. We love the idea of pairing a sparkling skirt with muted colors and neutrals for impressive contrast.

Shop Skirts:

GLITTER & SHINE PANTS:

Pants that shine possess an ability to give two distinct moods: Go sophisticated with a white blouse or simple sweater, or go full rocker chic with feathers, fur or fringe!

Shop Pants:

GLITTER & SHINE TOPS:

We love a glitter cami layered over a mesh top or under a blazer! Sparkly tops also look great with simple black jeans or muted leather leggings.

Shop Tops:

GLITTER & SHINE BLAZERS:

Layer a glitter blazer over a tee and leather pants or a mini dress for nights out!

Shop Blazers:

GLITTER & SHINE EVENING:
