Glitter and sequins are no longer just festive favourite, they are officially chic all year round. Shimmer your way into and throughout the new season.
Glitz & Glamour
One trend on the cards for the upcoming year is sequins, glitter and all things disco ball. This trend has already prevailed in 2022, but SS23 will definitely be the year to stand out in sparkly attire. Now is the best time to shop for this trend and catch up in time for it to hit next Spring with it being the holiday season. Speculation shows that the colour palette is the significant distinction between the traditional holiday glitter looks and the year-round look we are anticipating seeing next year. The year-round sequins and glitter will have a softer colour palette: pale shades, nudes, and pastels making them the perfect luxe look for Spring.
Right Off The Runway – SS23
Glitter and sequins were popular among designers during the SS23 runways. The most notable are: Tom Ford, Givenchy, Nensi Dojaka, Brandon Maxwell and Valentino, though plenty more designers leaned into some shimmer, including Chanel and Gucci.
Same But Different
Glitter is only a popular choice for some. Those who are usually against shimmery looks may instantly picture a tacky sequin dress, but you should know that the glitter in style will be luxe. You can dip your toe in by sticking to sparkly accessories, go a step further with sheer sparkly tops and dresses or take it all the way with a matching sequin two-piece. Don’t let preconceived notions scare you; there is a way to cater this trend to everyone’s taste. You can go as extra or as minimal as you please.

Let’s discuss a few items to help you create some luxe, sparkly looks for the upcoming season. Remember that some of these items may be expensive but are worth the investment as their high-quality nature will last a lifetime. Quality is essential for glittery pieces as low-quality items will make the glitter look cheap and possibly tacky; use these items for inspiration; you only have to buy these exact ones if you want to.
