Covid-19 lockdown has changed the way we dress , swopping out stylish ensembles for comfortable sweats and T-shirts. But as the world slowly embraces the return to normality, it’s time to ramp up our style options. And the runways of fall/winter 2021 are proving that fashion is making a glamorous comeback.

And what better way to embrace glamour than with shine and shimmer? While traditionally reserved for nights out, there’s really no hard and fast rule on when is the appropriate time to wear metallic or sequins, so why not slip them into your daily rotation?

One way to incorporate shine during the day without feeling over the top is to start small — a pair of metallic ballerina flats; a sequinned handbag or a chunky metallic necklace. Keep the rest of the outfit simple.

If you’re feeling outrageously adventurous, then consider a metallic jacket worn over a black bodysuit and your favourite jeans. Alternatively, make a case for high-wattage dressing with a shimmery pencil skirt with a white button-down oversized shirt.

Sparkle for day? Why not.
