Bling bling: glitter boots are not just for the brave

Translation: machine translated

Stand out at all costs? Yes and no, glittery ankle boots scream for attention, but don't necessarily make you look dressed up. I'll tell you how to do it here.

I don't know if it's because it's the festive season, but I've recently become a fan of all kinds of bling-bling, glitter-grumpy personified. Whether it's jewellery, make-up or appliqués on clothes - I love anything that sparkles and shines. Not from head to toe, of course, but in tolerable doses by my standards. I'm particularly fond of glitter boots. The sparkling ankle boots can be found in almost all collections at the moment - and luckily for me, they are also available from affordable fashion labels. However, not everyone is (yet) enthusiastic about the trend. "What, you want to wear them to the office too?" a friend asks me incredulously when I tell her about it. "Sure, there's nothing better than that." I want to bring glamour into my everyday life.

...but also with a dress. Images: Pieces — The boots don't just go with jeans...

In contrast to a sequinned top, skirt or dress, glittery shoes provide the wow effect without making you look overloaded. You just need to follow three tips when styling:

# 1: The colour of the shoes must be muted. Black, blue or grey are suitable for this. With a comfortable block heel, you can wear them all day long.

# 2: The more understated the rest of the outfit is, the less noticeable the ankle boots will be. I personally like the combination with jeans. It looks classy, but doesn't necessarily look like a party. A sporty jumper or a blouse and a long cardigan are suitable as a top. Don't believe how suitable this look is for everyday wear? Then scroll up and take another look at the picture at the top left. Does anything about it look overdone? Exactly...

# 3: In the evening, you can upgrade your daytime outfit with a blazer. Or swap your jeans for tights and a dress - without the glitter details. If you also insist on bling-bling, add individual accents with jewellery. [[product:9606244]] [[product:9606242,9515354,9515345]]
