13 Sparkly Clothing Items For Early Holiday Spirit

It's finally November, which means one thing and one thing only: The holidays are upon us. With that comes an influx of metallic and sparkly holiday dresses and apparel fit for festivities. Unless you're The Grinch, it's likely that your wardrobe these next two months is going to be jam packed with sequins, sparkles, and other shimmering shades to show your sartorial appreciation for the season that brings us candy canes and egg nog.

Sure, I'm guilty of rocking an ugly Christmas sweater here and there this time of year, but an excuse to wear any and all sequins is my true jam. I just can't help but feel festive when celebrating with family and friends, filling my schedule with winter wonderland parties, and eating more than my jeans actually allow. For me, one of the most enjoyable ways to channel this love for the season is through silvers and golds, and sequins and sparkles.

There's no better time than the present to update your wardrobe with seasonal-appropriate bedazzlement.
