There’s so much you can do to make an outfit pop, depending on the season of course. It’s winter and putting some sparkle in your step can up any wintry wardrobe.

The festive holiday season is upon us, and sparkle is totally in style this time of year. Glitter and glam are the perfect accents to any ensemble, especially when the snow outside is just as glittery. Winter doesn’t have to be dark and drab, so add some sparkle!

One thing to always keep in mind about using sparkle as an accent is to use it sparingly. Choose one bold item to add that added shine to your look, whether it’s casual or formal. One great accessory is a clutch, whether it be a rhinestone studded clutch purse or a sequined cocktail clutch, a handheld accessory is a great way to introduce that wintry glimmer to any outfit. Clutches can be worn with any dressy outfit, or used to up-dress a plainer, more everyday outfit as well. They can be combined in any number of ways with any prints or patterns, or even solid colors. Silver or gold accents are the most versatile, but sparkle can also come in black, grey, or any of your other favorite or most worn colors.

There are other fashion accessories that can provide that holiday sparkle. Shimmering cocktail jewelry can brighten any outfit without being overwhelming. An oversized cocktail ring can dazzle without being distracting, and can dress up any holiday ensemble. Large rhinestone cuff bracelets can also add some oomph, whether worn on the wrist or further up on your forearm, they always make a good statement piece. Remember not to wear too much sparkle, a little sparkle can go a long way and makes a stylish statement.

And don’t forget about chiffon scarves! These versatile fashion accessories are a great way to liven up any outfit, no matter what the occasion. Plus they’ll keep you warm all winter! Choose a scarf with a glittering accent or sequined sections to brighten up any holiday ensemble and make any number of outfits more festive with that classic winter sparkle. Also remember just how adaptable scarves are to any ensemble. They work whether you’re going about your daily errands or whether you’re looking to accent your New Year’s dress.

Remember, the best accessories are the ones that can be used for any occasion and paired with any other accessories. Adding some sparkle to your look this holiday season will ensure that you look festive no matter what the weather! Visit Chicastic for great accessories and ideas for holiday dressing.
