"This trend is now very different and both the shiny fabrics and the sequins or pailletes themselves weigh very little - very little - and are deliciously ethereal and light. And some are so fine that they give the illusion of being transparent. A super sexy and precious vision" writes the columnist.

(CNN Spanish) -
I am delighted because glitter-shine is in fashion.
For both day and night, the striking and irreverent sparkle of sequins, paillettes and precious stones will make our days happier, and in turn our femininity will be delighted.
An optimistic trend, which rejuvenates, beautifies and we all look great.
It's funny, but I think there are very few women (and men) who are not seduced by silver sparkles or black sequins.
It is a look that never fails.
And in this new escapist fashion - as María José Pérez Méndez from Vogue España calls it - we find a fabulous option to make the upcoming Christmas and New Year parties more joyful and optimistic.
And a lovely escape route, no doubt.
When I mentioned this news to a friend, she said: “Oh, but those sequin dresses weigh a lot.
They weigh a ton and that makes them uncomfortable. "
Big mistake, because the best thing about this trend is that now it is very different and both the shiny fabrics and the sequins or pailletes themselves weigh very little - very little - and are delightfully ethereal and light.
And some are so thin that they give the illusion of being transparent.
A super sexy and precious sight.
And what do you wear in this world of wonderful glitters?
Well, a wide variety of pieces, from sequin pants combined perhaps with a satin camisole and jean jacket, to a gold brocade fabric shirt dress, a satin coat in a bright color, with a fabulous cut.
Also, a fun sequin sweatshirt, a silver lame jacket, a tuxedo-style pantsuit in black pailletes.
Or wear one wonderful piece that is the basis of the total look, be it a skirt, top, jacket or coat.
You can use your imagination and choose what you like best and fit your personal style.
Looking at fashion magazines, you can check out everything new and you will be surprised with the many different and original things that you will find.
And the accessories?
They must be very important, divine and complement your look with elegance and fantasy.
But never exaggerated.
Shoes, bags, earrings, necklaces, scarves.
But, yes, choose only one that is important so as not to look like a walking Christmas tree.
In short, the trend that we have seen in many 2021 fashion collections - such as those by Elie Saab, Valentino, Givenchy, Lanvin, Louis Vuitton, Ralph Lauren, Dior or Versace - is to use the glitter of fabrics and rhinestones to project a joyful moment. , beautiful, optimistic, with glitter and a look full of illusion for next year.
We need it good, don't you think?
Well, let's get to work and let's plan that new wardrobe.
