Countless designers made all things lamé shine brightly with a contemporary energy, looking oh-so dazzling when worn elegantly in full. So start making way in your closet for everything that looks like it belongs to a treasure chest.

Yes, shimmering fabrics are trending all year round and the gleaming look is sure to gain lots of steam as we get closer to the holiday season. It’s pretty easy to get overboard and come out looking like you’re going clubbing; so if you want to wear one full piece, easiest way to wear it is to just add minimal accessories. Especially when the weather cools down, a long lamè dress makes perfect sense, but make sure you go for a a dark shade to make the most out of it in terms of its wearability.

Another style is to go for a subtle print mid-dress or jumpsuit, and play down the rest of your look with accessories from the same colour spirit to help you look edgier and chicer.

Layering is another great trick when you are trying to match two bright shining pieces. Make sure you tone down the sheen for a more neutralising late night effect.

If you dare to wear lamé this season, get inspired with our favourite party looks gallery above!
