One of the easiest ways to create a glamorous look is the introduction of luxurious textures; consider the appeal of shimmering satin, the decadence of faux fur, the richness of feather trims, the softness of velvet and of course, the Christmas favourite, the glitz of sequins. Any one of which will instantly put you in the festive mood!

It’s up to you how much glam you put in your glamorous look, be it a hint with a well chosen accessory or the bolder choice of full-on head-to-toe bling.

A soft sheen finish on your daywear jacket will elevate it from a basic to something special or the addition of a faux fur collar will transform your everyday coat.

Those who choose glamour, love to be noticed! If you already have some great wardrobe staples that you’d like to update with a more glamorous edge, there’s one easy solution - accessories.

By simply adding costume jewellery, an embellished belt or textured shoes, glitz and glam is yours. If you’re more comfortable in darker colours and want to wear your favourite black trousers, an easy wear top with rich shimmer and shine is all you’ll need to feel glittering.

As Christmas is such a time of celebration, for some, more is more. High octane party goers will match their mood with high octane looks (think of the photos, think of the memories!)

For these cheery people, part of the fun of a night out is getting ready, pulling out all the stops to really dress up. If you’re opting for the flash of sequins, keep the silhouette simple as it will be more dynamic. A sequin slip dress with its uncomplicated shape will be very striking.

Whatever addition of sparkle you choose, amplify that sparkle, rather than introduce other textures. If, for example, you’ve opted for a blush tone sequin jacket, add small hints of that same blush tone in your accessories. It keeps the look very sophisticated and classy.

If the very thought of Christmas makes you feel a little weary, a pop of colour may help to lift your spirits. The combination of the right jewel tone colour and a sumptuous fabric will enhance your complexion and give you a healthier glow.

It’s about wearing looks that express who you are and give you confidence. Let this Christmas be your time, your time to shine!
