(Collaborative) A little bit of sparkle is a great way to liven up any summer outfit. There are a range of ways you can Add Some Sparkle Into Your Summer Looks and here we explore my favourites. Adding sparkle to your summer could be via various means from jewellery to bags, even makeup. It can give you a little boost as we do love a little sparkle in our lives, don’t we!
Add Some Sparkle To Your Summer Looks
Sun Lotion
One of the most important things we will wear over the summer is a sun lotion to protect our skin from the suns rays. You can find sun lotions that give you a gorgeous glow. Shimmering Sun Lotion does just that. Make sure you choose one that absorbs well into the skin and doesn’t leave it feeling sticky or greasy. It is important that it has both UVA and UVB protection alongside the glimmering, reflective pigments to make your skin look amazing during the day whilst protecting it from the sun.
Jewellery
Jewellery can be a lovely way to add some sparkle to our day. There are so many different options too from earrings, necklaces, bracelets, etc. You might even want to put on a few pieces to really dazzle. My favourite option is a lovely necklace or even layering necklaces, this can look really pretty and is very popular. It’s the most noticeable way to add some sparkle in jewellery form and can be a great way to dress up an outfit. Good quality jewellery adds a better touch so buy solid gold or 18ct gold covered silver. This also reduces the risk of allergic reactions.
Belts
Depending on how you style an outfit a pretty belt with some eyecatching sparkly stones can really make it pop. It can also be used as a way to add in a splash of colour. Oversized shirts, dresses, even jeans can have a little bling added in belt form to make an okay outfit look so much more impressive. This could be one you’ve bought or an item that you repurposed. Whatever you chose make sure to mix and match so you can create different looks.

Bags
For those that aren’t quite ready to step into the spotlight a beautiful bag with a bit of glitz could make all the difference. Styled alongside your favourite summer dress this can really add to the appearance of an outfit. For the summer you want to opt for gold, white, nude, even a dusky pink and eggshell blue can look good with some well placed embellishments to liven it up a little.
Makeup
Makeup is a simple way of adding sparkle and can be used to accentuate features too. Some glittery eyeshadow can work well or even some bronzer. Body glitter is especially popular in the summer months and is ideal in the evening when you aren’t wearing a shimmery sun lotion.
Shoes
Our footwear is very important when it comes to the look we are trying to create. Whether you wear flats or sandals, open toes etc a bit of bling is certain to create a gorgeous summer look especially when they catch the sun. Gold and silver shoes can work incredibly well. These can add a lovely appearance to an outfit and combine well with other forms of sparkle, just be sure to remember a little goes a long way.
These are some easy ways to Add Some Sparkle To Your Summer Looks. Which of these are you most likely to use? Choose as many as you like. Let me know in the comments below.
