EMBELLISHED COLLARS: HOLIDAYS BLINGED OUT TREND!

If there one major theme in holiday fashion it’s the bling! And with full on fashion showdowns at holiday parties and soirees it’s all about the glitz and glamour. While you may see the flashy jewels of extraordinary caliber during the holiday season, nothing says extraordinary than the embellished neckline and collar trend! Whether you want to sparkle or shine this holiday season, there is a style for everyone this season to get their hands on. Find out how to make this fashion season the most decked out holiday!

REGAL IN GOLD
If your one of those “good as gold” gals, like myself and love to make a statement without being too flashy, then this collar is for you. Embellished gold collars and necklines are rich, opulent, and provide a sophiscated touch to any ensemble. The metal’s color works perfectly against all haircolors and skin tones. It’s a great combination especially when you rock it with darker colors like black, navy, or even deep red. I found a black peplum halter top with a gold embellishment tribal necklace attachment to the collar.  


STYLE TIP : CREATE VERSATILITY THROUGH THE SHOES
With embellished collars they often set the tone of how to style your ensemble. They also create versatility with the shoes. Since part of the focus is on the top changing the shoe selection can create two different styles to your look. In one picture, I wore black heels that had a tiny gold embellishment which created a contemporary look, whereas in the other picture, I had a bootie with buckles which provided an edgier look.


DAZZLE IN DIAMONDS
Are you ready to cause drama this holiday season? So not the drama of the New York Housewives between Ramona and the Countess Luann, but I’m talking the silence drama that has showstopping qualities! If drama is your middle name, this look is definitely for you! The great news is that you don’t have to spend a fortune to make a blinged out statement just focus on collars, and necklines that are extra blinged out in rhinestones, sequins, or sparkles.

EDGY CHIC IN STUDS
For a cool approach on holiday fashion, studded collars are a fresh spin to take classic holiday apparel to another level.  When wearing studs on holiday pieces, look for more feminine colors and cuts, because studs represent an element of masculinity in that they reflect rocker and punk inspired trends.


PERFECT IN PEARLS
If you strive for perfection in everything you do, then this style is for you. However, I don’t mean to burst your bubble but in life nothing is perfect and the real beauty lies in imperfection.  Ironically, with this style you don’t have to try too hard to rock this to a 10! Whether you go for classic pearl collars or color ones, the embellishment is always light and airy often creating the perfect ready to go statement piece. With this style avoid clothing in white, and go for brighter and darker colors to create more of an eye-catching statement.
