This Is How You Wear a Sparkly DressHow To Wear Sparkling Dresses

Metallics are becoming a big trend on the red carpet. While this sexy look isn’t for the office, you can certainly make a big splash on special occasions with the right amount of sparkle.

Whether you love sequins or metallic dresses are your thing, find out how to wear a sparkly dress to full effect. From choosing the right accessories to making sure that your hair and makeup don’t detract from the dress, here are the most important style tips for sparkly looks.

Focus on the Fit

While you can certainly go for a looser fit, as long as you belt your sparkly dress, the initial fit is very important to your look. Metallics and sequins aren’t very forgiving, so going too tight is definitely a mistake, particularly in the waist area. Skin tight is also a less than perfect look, so make sure that you find the balance between fit and flowy that works for your body type.

Choose the Right Neckline

If you’re going for a very sexy vibe, you’re better off revealing arms and legs than cleavage. Going with a plunging neckline when you wear a sparkly dress can definitely push your look into Las Vegas showgirl territory. Stay sophisticated with a high neckline. If you opt for a halter neckline, you’ll also have to tone down your accessories a bit.
