Glitter, shimmer, sequins and sparkles – one of this season’s hottest trends is all about an 80s disco revival.

The saying ‘every cloud has a silver lining’ could not be more apt for the sea of glitz that has infiltrated from runway couture to high fashion street wear amid a climate of grey and gloomy weather.

Designer’s such Gucci, Fendi and Tom Ford showcased Autumn/Winter 2018 looks characterised by iridescent accents and full on sparkly statement pieces,  proving you don’t have to wait for the sun to shine to put a spring back into your step.

Take  some pointers from these celebs on how to transform mood-lifting disco ball party gear into a striking winter wardrobe essential. 

KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN

Kourtney kept warm at the CFDA Awards in a plunging velvet pants suit embelished with sparkles. Paired with slicked back hair and minimal makeup,  the glitzy elements ensures the simplistic look is elevated up a notch.

ADWOA ABOAH

At last year’s Fashion Awards, Adwoah looked every bit the winner as she picked up the Model of the Year accolade in a two-toned mico-mini adorned with Swarovski crystals.  The Halpern creation was accompanied by a mettalic wrap-around head-piece – a simple and stylish way to rock the trend while being winter weather appropriate.
