Spring/Summer 2021 Clothes Shine With This Glitzy Trend
Wearing shiny rhinestone dresses might be just what we need for a fashion restart.
Certainly, it's a bit of shimmer we need after too many months passing the days in a tracksuit. Turning to glittering pieces, dresses covered in rhinestones and crystals, we're letting fashion show its extroverted side. Even the Spring/Summer 2021 collections showed designers' embrace of the power to shine. Connecting the dots between these glamorous fashion moments brings out a clear and shiny reading of the glitz trend, ranging from precious summer dresses to high jewelery necklaces to unexpectedly fluid glittery tops.
Being dazzled by the elegant dresses paved with crystals (it is impossible to choose between the drapé models by Balmain) is just the tip of the iceberg to be circumnavigated, crossed by silver, gold, fuchsia, and turquoise reflections. Riccardo Tisci's Burberry Spring/Summer 2021 collection also offers a shimmering counterpoint over lumberjack oversized shirts and waterproof waxed suits. A similar concept, applied to a more urban context, includes sweatshirts and terry bathrobes by Demna Gvasalia for Balenciaga.
While the proportions change, the concept is the same for New York-based brand Area's Spring/Summer 2021 collecion created by designers Piotrek Panszczyk and Beckett Fogg. With a club-ready feel, it's inspiration to get out and party. Not even Donatella Versace missed the opportunity to attract her fan-base with dazzling bra tops encrusted with sparkling marine life made of colorful and shiny rhinestones to wear like mermaids just emerged from the water.
Ludovic de Saint Sernin's feature glitz becomes made to order.
The latest idea born by Ludovic de Saint Sernin, a Belgian designer who has been a collaborator of the Swarovski house for some years now, is on everyone's wishlist. Known for his men's briefs covered with glittering gems, the designer just launched a made-to-order line featuring Swarovski crystal-encrusted pieces. With no limits to gender and wearability, the clothes have but a single and univocal focus: celebrating the light of crystals. From cropped tees to rhinestone sweaters, miniskirts to second-skin short summer dresses, you can shine from head to toe.
Nué Studio presents the rhinestone tops for summer 2021.
Kiev-based brand Nué is perfect for those in constant search of glitz. Its newest sparkling offering is the Estelle top, which represents the evolution from its first lingerie-like top in silver rhinestones. The Estelle top is a silk halter style that ties in the back with a decidedly glam effect. For those who want something more subtle, you can still achieve the glitzy effect by layering accents with a neutral base. For example, Nué's Last Zoe rhinestone fringe can be casually draped over blazers or tailored pieces. The ways to rock glitz are endless.
