Glitter Revival!
This ensemble features a shimmery silver cow neck top. Currently, silver and shimmer are super in trend, from sequin tops to glittery skirts, shimmer is all the hype! This silver cow neck top pairs a perfect contrast to the curly hair embellished with silver hoops, creating a visually centred balance. The cow neck top flatters the silhouette of the model further with the draped neckline having a sense of fluidity in its form.
​
An important tip when styling anything glittery or shimmery is to balance it with matte pieces, that work neutrally against the pop of glitter. It is important to let the glitter speak for itself, and not pair it with a piece of clothing that will take away from it. For instance, here the model has been paired with a pair of basic grey jeans balance out the glitter piece and allow it to stand out.
​
It's evident glitter and shimmer has made a comeback in materials, and it can even be seen on the runway. Designers, such as Versace in 2022, have leveraged the glitter comeback in full swing with even employing celebrity guests such as Paris Hilton and Dua Lipa to shimmer down the runway.
Regardless of whether you are wearing silver or gold, it is essential to match your accessories to your glittery attire. For instance, in this outfit I have chosen to pair the top with silver arm cuff bracelets. Recently, arm bracelets are incredibly stylish and an excellent solution to accessorising your arms when wearing sleeveless tops. Silver arm bracelets enhance the top further without obstructing from it and this elevates the themes of silver and sparkle further in this ensemble.

The resurgence of glitter in fashion is heavily reminiscent to the 2000s/indie sleaze era of fashion. We are currently experiencing a wave of ‘Y2K’ (early 2000’s) fashion coming back into trend and we are here for it! Below you can find a small ‘inspo’ board from Pinterest for inspiration.
