How To Shine Without The Sparkle

We don’t know about you, but whenever we see something shiny, we gravitate toward it like a kid to candy. Seriously. Our eyes get as big as our heads, and all focus lands on that beautiful, glistening object. And, that's especially true right now, when it seems like something’s always sparkling: the trees hitting the windows, snow starting to accumulate, and just about every soiree-ready piece of clothing, from heels to dresses. But, just because it’s holiday time doesn’t mean you have to look like you're wearing a disco ball. (Though, don’t get us wrong — we still love a good glitter pump.) Sometimes, something a little subtler can look just as festive. Meaning: Try a little less sequin and a little more metallic.

From blouses dipped in glimmer to flashy, iridescent clutches, these 18 non-sparkle finds will help you shine bright like a diamond when you hit the party circuit this season.
