Don’t worry—there are ways to pull off a solid sequined skirt without looking like an actual Christmas ornament. Make sure that your skirt is the highlight of your outfit and don’t overdo it on the accessories.

Pleated metallic skirts can be styled the same way. Choose neutral colors for the main pieces of your outfit like your blouse, cardigan and shoes. Now you’ve got a glam—not gaudy—way to be festive!
4. Handbags

Glam up a neutral outfit by putting all your daily essentials in a dazzling metallic handbag. Use a sparkly satchel to brighten up a darker outfit or to add an elegant finishing touch to a pastel party dress.
5. Heels

You can pair metallic heels with pretty much any outfit and it'll look incredibly fab, but a pair of shimmery shoes is a must-have to spice up a winter party look. Be adventurous and throw on a pair to make your look *pop*.

Not into heels? You can easily jazz up a casual, everyday outfit with a pair of shiny sneaks.
6. Prints

Metallic prints don’t have to look over-bearing. Style a metallic-patterned dress (or a cute pair of printed pants) for a classy, modern look. Metallic accents in prints are a subtle way to sneak a little sparkle into your outfit.
