With the changing of the seasons, you have a perfect excuse to update your wardrobe a bit. And what better way of doing it than including two of this winter’s popular trends: metallic fabrics or metallic-accented clothing, and statement jewelry like necklaces?
Why Choose Metallics?
Metallics offer shine and sparkle, perfect for the holiday season. When you put on a garment that’s made with luxurious metallic fabric, you instantly up the “chic” factor of your overall look. That’s perfect for any of the many parties you’re surely attending this winter. Metallics make a statement, but they aren’t difficult to wear because at their core, metallic are essentially neutral colors. Gold and silver just get a dose of shine, and other jewel-toned metallic colors such as emerald or sapphire can also be paired with a seemingly endless variety of other clothing. Metallics are a great way to add visual interest and glamour to an outfit without adding a lot of jewelry or picking a trendy piece of clothing that will go out of style by next season. If you’re shy to draw attention to yourself, choose a piece of metallic clothing that features accents, rather than a piece of clothing made out of just metallic fabric. Look for pieces with metallic thread for the seams, or pieces that feature metallic fabric blended in with non-metallic. You could even look to metallic sequins as a way to try out this trend, as they are not only metallic but shiny as well—perfect for the holiday party season.
Statement Jewelry
Statement jewelry is a piece of jewelry that you wear not necessarily to add visual interest to an already eye-catching outfit, but a piece of jewelry that IS the visual interest. For instance, this could be a chunky necklace, a ring with multiple stones that sparkles in the sun, an interesting hair clip, etc. These pieces are designed to provide the wearer with something that will get people to take notice—hence the term “statement jewelry.” The accessories you choose should make a statement about you or your style, whether that statement is that you love modern trends, that you stick to the classics, or anything else. Statement jewelry helps you jazz up an outfit, as well, making it perfect for the holiday season when it’s ideal to stand out at a party.
Dip your toes into these two popular trends this winter. Metallics and statement jewelry are both easy to wear, you just need to find pieces that suit your personality.
