At this time of the year, there’s lots of competition — from disco balls, fairy lights, tree baubles — to sparkle. So go big on glitter. Embrace sequins in their multitudes. Adorn yourself with fabrics that twinkle: whether that’s a top that looks like a contemporary take on knight’s armour from Gucci, a glamorous trousersuit from Fendi or an elegant slip of a dress from Dior. Then all you have to do is slide on some sky-high heels, adorn yourself with some serious rocks and be confident that, no matter what else is around, it’s you who shines.
