Oh hello another Spring/Summer 2016 fashion trend. Hello sparkles and shimmer and glitter and metallics. So nice to have you here. 

When I think sequins and shiny garments, I think evening wear. I think fancy. I think formal. I think occasion and party. Or at least I used to. But now? Now I no longer think this way. I've been so misguided.

Shimmer and sparkles don't have to be reserved solely for special occasions. This season, designers have proven that metallic and mirrored apparel can be worn just about anytime, anywhere. 

Take the very first metallic, pleated top in the collage above. It's paired with jeans in the photo. It's been turned casual.

Or the silver skirt in the second photo. Pair it with a tank top and leather jacket or a denim shirt or a plain white tee and you've got yourself another awesome, casual outfit. 

But feel free to wear sparkles in the evening too.
