Ways to Add Sparkle to Your New Year’s Outfit

Slide 1Overview
Adding a touch of sparkle can immediately improve an outfit, and will guarantee
that you stand out from the crowd. Whether you prefer a more subtle touch, or
you’re ready to take the plunge to full-out sparkle, the following are some of my
favourite ways of adding a touch of sparkle to an outfit
Glitter
tights
Show off your legs—while still keeping warm—by pulling on a pair of shimmery
silver tights. They’re an unexpected touch that will subtly draw attention.
Glittery nail
polish
Catch the light when you reach for your champagne by decking out your nails with
a glitzy manicure. A chunky glitter topcoat works over nude, black, red, and
everything in between.
Chandelier
earrings
A gorgeous pair of chandelier earrings can immediately elevate any outfit. Whether
you go for simple teardrops or intricate crystal designs, you’ll be sure to make an
impact.
climber
Think up, not down when it comes to your earring choice. A line of crystals up your
ear will catch attention without getting stuck in your hair.
Confetti
earrings
No need to save the confetti for midnight. Snag a pair of confetti earrings to keep the
celebration strong all night.
Statement
necklace
Take your LBD from basic to dazzling with a statement necklace. Whether you stick
with black and white or add a pop of color, a sparkly necklace will give your whole
outfit an upgrade.
Glittery
heels
A pair of shimmery heels is guaranteed to earn you compliments all night long. Find
a metallic pair with subtle sheen, or get your hands on a pair of bedazzled heels to
make a bigger entrance.
Sweater
details
You might want to stay away from a full-blown sequin top, but a few shiny details
on a top can go a long way. Throw on a cardigan embellished with sequins or pearls
to fit in a little subtle sparkle.
Hair clip
Whether you leave your hair down and loose or twist it into a fancy updo, a
sparkly hair accessory will make your tresses the life of the party. Tuck rhinestone
bobby pins into a French twist, or use a barrette to hold one section back.
Beaded
clutch
You have to put your phone somewhere, so toss it in a beaded clutch to make your
entire outfit pop.
Glam watch
Keep an eye out for midnight by adding a sparkly watch to your outfit. With a
glittery band or gem-encrusted face, telling time has never been so glamorous.
Glittery
eyeliner
A full lid coated in sparkles might be glitter overboard, but you can add sparkle to
your makeup subtly. Line your upper lid with glitter eyeliner for a delicate
shimmer.
Shimmery
skirt
A sequined skirt is a bold choice, but you can achieve a more toned-down shimmer
too. Find one made of lurex, which is a fabric that achieves its gorgeous sheen with
glittering metallic thread.
Cocktail
ring
For a tiny detail that makes a big impact, adorn your fingers with cocktail rings.
Stick with one to keep things minimal, or pile on thin gold rings to the rest of your
fingers too.
Sparkly belt
Add a glittery belt through your jeans to add some flair to your flares, or cinch a
dress with a gem-encrusted band.
Bejewelled
Hairband
Wearing a hairband really adds a special touch to an outfit. Hairbands can range from
very narrow, plain hairbands to thick, bejewelled hairbands. Depending on your
outfit, and how heavily designed it is, wearing a hairband will give your look that
extra sparkle that’s perfect for NYE.
Faux fur
coat/shawl
Faux fur has made a massive comeback this year, and can make any outfit look
extremely luxurious. Adding a faux fur coat or shawl will not only keep you warm
when waiting for your taxi at the end of the night, but will also be the perfect way to
tie the whole NYE look together.
Glitter
Freckles
If you've ever been to a festival, you've probably seen glitter freckles. They're kind of
perfect to rock at a festival without being appropriative. But they're not just great for
that outdoor concert. They're a cute way to add more glitter to your life for New
Year's Eve.
Tinsel
Highlights
Makeup isn't the only way to add a bit of glittering shine to your New Year's Eve
look. This DIY Tinsel hair is basically holographic goals, and it's super simple. With
only three supplies needed, it's easy to do but packs a gorgeously glittering punch.
Glitter Roots
If you weren't able to head to Coachella this year, you can still take advantage of one
of the biggest trends of festival season: glitter roots. This ultra-fun, super festive look
isn't just sparkly but customizable. From purple stars to classic golden glitter, the sky
is the limit on how you want to rock this.
Glitter
Undereyes
Who says glitter is just for your lids? Glitter concealer or inverted glitter makeup is
so fun and festive.
Conclusion
If you can't get enough glitter in your life or just want to be extra festive for New
Year's Eve, these unexpected way to add some sparkle to your look are perfect. Go
all out with glitter roots or keep things subtle with glitter heels. No matter what,
you'll look fab as you shine the night away in your glittery garb.
