Tis the Season for Sparkles!

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Emory chapter.

With December comes holiday music and twinkly lights. In addition, the fashion trends of the season switch from cozy neutrals to serious sparkles and sequins acceptable for all occasions! Here are some sequin favorites to add to your holiday collection.

Sequin Dresses and Skirts

Whether completely decked out in sequins, or just a few sparkles here and there, dresses are a perfect way to rock the holiday trend. You can go with a drape-y look or skin tight, for whatever occasion you choose to wear. Pair up a body-con dress with gorgeous earrings and sky-high heels and get ready to ring in the New Year in style! If you aren’t ready to go full-on sparkle, try a straight, mini skirt with a huge wow-factor. Find a solid color and add a patterned top or go for a designed skirt and pair a sheer, solid blouse or flowy top with it. Both are perfect for either night or day! If complete sparkles aren’t your thing, you can pick a skirt with just a band of sequins so you can still rock the trend, but in moderation!

Glittery Headbands/Clips

Add a little sparkle to your hair with a thin headband or cute barrette. It’ll pull together any outfit and give you a look of charm and sophistication. Be careful not to go overboard for fear of looking like the top ornament of a Christmas tree!

Sparkle Shoes

Dress up any outfit with a pair of killer heels, bedazzled with sparkles! Or opt for sweet flats with a dusting of sequins to add some color and interest to your clothes. They’re perfect for walking around campus to show off your style, or to wear to your big holiday party. A little sparkle goes a long way. Treat your feet to the trend!
