Dazzle’em in Statement Sparkles… By Brittany West - Wednesday, November 04, 2009
Want to be the life of the party? Forget about glitzy accessories, let your jacket steal the show and shine around the clock with these statement pieces.
Tuxedo Jackets recently re emerged and look set to be sticking around for another season, with Kate Moss wearing her YSL one three days in a row. But thanks to inspiration from Derek Lam they've been given a bit of a sparkly twist - sequins.
How fun are they?! I've been getting lots of love (and wear) out of mine, and even though sequins aren't news, they are Fab. These disco-inducing jackets are the perfect way to pick up an otherwise, let's face it, dull piece. Tuxedos are a good way to an edge to your fave dress but they are pretty much restricted to black or grey which can be a bit boring time after time.
The celebrity world agree with us and everyone from Hollywood's Rachel Bilson and Taylor Momsen to Lily Cole and Alesha Dixon have been wearing sparkly tuxes.
The same rules as with regular tuxedos apply, longer lengths for hip-conscious girls and single-breasted jackets such as Rihanna's sunny show stopper are more flattering than double-breasted.
Black and silver sequins are great for a classic look but if you want something a little more colorful go for a midnight blue shade or gold. These will work over lots of other pieces and add something special to an outfit.
