Razzle Dazzle: If money’s no object

by Filipa Oliveira

Sequins are still at the forefront of this season’s glamorous style, as they were a perennial favorite amongst premier fashion houses like Balmain and over- the-top designers like Alexander McQueen. Displaying metallic shades with class and futuristic sophistication, the appeal behind the razzle dazzle fashion rests in its ability to enhance curves and reflect light in a soft sensuous rhythm.

Perfect for nighttime disco-glam glitter, a sequined dress is the ultimate spangle item, pulling off the wow-factor in full effect. And since you’re going for a stunning hero piece, keep the accessories minimal and elegant, by selecting simple high-heeled footwear and little to no jewelry flashes.

If subtle is more your style and all you need is a splash of twinkling lights, opt instead for a pair of sequined shoes or a dazzling trendy clutch. Not too flashy to wear into the daylight hours, these statement pieces add a deluxe glitz to any everyday ensemble.
