Minimalists should be scared, because bold is back. Sequined, embroidered, studded, and jeweled embellishments have swept over our staples. Tastemakers have taken to the streets in graphic tees paired with bedazzled jeans, glistening sweaters tucked into patent leather skirts, and easy dresses topped with glittery jackets.
Embellishments can easily become overly flashy, so tread lightly by donning your more decorative pieces atop a neutral, expected look. While these fancier threads and accessories tend to come alive in the nighttime, don't be afraid to dress up your office attire or weekend ensemble with a little shine. The glammed up feel of romantic adornments against more serious, edgy, and eccentric colors continues to pop up on the runway—collections from Alexander McQueen, Marc Jacobs, Oscar de la Renta, and Moschino showcase this ornamentation time and again.
So, take a risk—invest in the crazy pieces you may think are too out-there for you. You won't regret it. From shoes and bags to dresses and jeans, we've pulled a group for you to take your pick...
