If you tend to save your sparkles for the festive season, then that’s all going to change this time around. Glitter and sequins definitely aren’t just for the holidays; in fact, these striking details have reigned supreme throughout spring/summer 2018 catwalks—coming in many incarnations, adorning shoes, dresses, trousers, blazers, and accessories. And if you’ve seen our newest MEGAstyle cover for the month of May, we’re absolutely on board with this trend.

Take a page from the Enciso sisters—whether it’s adding a splash of glitter to your party looks or sequins to your weekend get-up, here are our favorite ways to incorporate shimmer to casual outfits:
For all you travel enthusiasts out there, you’ll know that finding the perfect knitwear is essential. But to amp it up by day, take cues from Hailey Baldwin and wear it with a sequined maxi skirt. Go for muted hues to avoid looking too flashy.
Subtly put a festive twist to a monochrome ensemble by adding a sparkly gray longline cardigan. Pair with your best strappy gladiator-style heels and you’re all set!
If you thought streetwear and sparkle don’t go together, think again. A clash of texture is the best way to add character to an outfit. Reach for shimmery trousers and pair them with a bright-colored sweater for a unique fusion of glam and athleisure.
Who says shimmery dresses should be reserved for cocktail hours? Bring shine to the office by wearing a sequined maxi dress but tone it down with a blazer and a pair of mid-heel pumps.
Take show-stopping to the streets channeling the eclectic style of the 70s with a bell-sleeved top. Tone it down with your best pair of blue jeans and plain monochromatic boots in black or white.
