Overshadowed by the pandemic for two years, this year’s holiday celebrations will be more lively and festive than ever. In the fashion world, it marks the return of whimsical and exciting party wear, covered in sequins, rhinestones and feathers. Let the festivities begin!
Five, four, three, two, one… Happy New Year! Forget the New Year’s couch and TV atmosphere we’ve embraced for the past couple of years as the holiday spirit returns to the holidays.
With this festive mood comes colorful make-up and nails, and glitter and glitter lashes.
It’s official – sequins and diamonds will be out in force this season, bringing with it the return of all things disco-inspired.
Plus, feathers and velvet will be among the season’s essentials, helping everyone forget that coats, puffer vests and capes were last year’s holiday must-haves.

The figures presented by Stylight were analyzed based on clicks in November 2022 compared to clicks in November 2022 across all of its international platforms.
Not only that, as seen during the last round of fashion shows for the Spring/Summer 2023 season, transparency is one of the main trends of the upcoming fashion. And it hasn’t gone unnoticed, as some fashionistas are ready to embrace the holiday trend.

Time to shine from head to toe
But sequined clothes aren’t the only things that will shine this season. Shoppers are also falling for rhinestone accessories, starting with rhinestone handbags (+80% clicks). This trend is also being seen in beauty, with a 22% increase in searches for face rhinestones.
When it comes to make-up, bright and vibrant colors will dominate, channeling trends like the neon shades of LED eyeliner and the rainbow effect of Skittles nails, named after the colorful candies. – AFP Relaxnews
