A woman can never have too much sparkle in her life – glitter, diamonds, sequins, you name it – if it shine, we want it! Take a look in your wardrobe and what do you see? Does it resemble a glittering mirrorball or frankly is it looking a little dull? Perhaps it’s time to invest in a dazzling embellished dress? Don’t you always envy that woman at the office party that shines above everyone else? Well if you’re not her already then you can be that girl!
You just need to know how to dazzle…
Embellished dresses are everywhere this season and they’ve hit the stores just in time for party season. There’s something about the subtlety of an embellished neckline or hem that just cries out ‘chic’ without being too in-your-face. Glittering clothes will make you feel super feminine and unconsciously make you shine – so what are you waiting for?
Take a look at our favourites:
The Dreamcatcher Dress
This cute little embellished dress from All Saints has a unique dreamcatcher design that really makes it stand out from the crowd. This dress sure makes one big statement with its petrol/bronze tones and heavy sequinned design. This would look awesome with bronzed legs and pair of spike-heeled ankle boots. Alternatively wear with black opaque tights and bronze strappy sandals.
The Body Con Dress
Available in classic black or earthy green this figure-hugging body con dress from ASOS boasts a simple embellished style with an accent of jewels sewn into the back detail. This is subtle embellishment at its best. The length and cut of the dress are super flattering and would look awesome teamed with a pair of killer heels or wedges. Leave the massive handbag at home too – this style needs a chic clutch.
The Fairytale Dress
If your idea of fashion heaven is a pair of jeans and a granddad cardigan then this dress probably won’t appeal to you as it oozes swirly girly feminine charm! This light beige prom dress from River Island features a gorgeous sweetheart neckline and boned bodice encrusted with jewels. The tulle net skirt adds volume around the legs and gives a sense of movement to the style. This would look fantastic teamed with a pair of nude platform heels and a smear of red lipstick or clashed with a leather biker jacket, chunky boots and TONS of attitude!
The Subtle Dress
You can still shine brightly even when the embellishment is subtle. Repeat that mantra four times so you remember it! Sometimes subtle is best and for that reason we present to you this wonderful pale pink creation by Warehouse. With a flattering wrap-over style and jewel shoulder detail, this dress gives off a feeling of effortless cool. Wear with metallic kitten heels for that extra sparkle or simple nude shoes for a more subtle approach.
The Designer Dress
This wouldn’t be a complete article without including a designer option for those who like their dresse to carry a label. This black embellished dress by Alexander McQueen makes a super chic option with its bejewelled neckline and racer back. The best thing about this dress is the detail – if you take a close look at the embellishment you’ll see that it’s made up of lots of ‘punk’ style safety pins – now that’s rock n roll!
