Here’s why shimmer will always be a timeless ensemble for New Year’s celebrations

A timeless classic, shimmer has been a girl’s best friend for decades, adorning everyone from the elegant Rekha to the very stylish Priyanka Chopra Jonas. It is one of the many reasons shimmer outfits continues to be our last-minute resort for almost any sartorial worry, especially New Year’s Eve. And as we prepare to bid farewell to yet another year, we’re ready to bring out our favourite ally to infuse yet another year with a radiant glow, as should you. Here’s why shimmer can be the best choice for your New Year’ celebrations.

Versatility

Shimmer is your passport to an effortlessly chic outfit. Think Suhana (Khan) in a shimmering red that’s bold yet sophisticated; it's the secret weapon in your fashion arsenal, ready to amp up the glam with a hint of sparkle. Whether you’re going for head-to-toe shine or a subtle glimmer, shimmer is the ultimate plus-one for any party look. At the same time, the style has proven to be ideal for pretty much any event, be it a house party or a wild New Year’s Eve bash. 

Endless options

The shimmer-sphere is expansive, offering a spectrum of choices from subtle glows to full-on dazzle. While a metallic eyeshadow can command attention, a glitter dress can enshroud you in the glimmer of the night. Kiara Advani for one, rocks the head-to-toe glitter look with her sequined jumpsuit and diamond boots, while Kareena Kapoor Khan's holographic dress whispers understated chic.

Instant glamour

Girlies who love the glam yet laid-back looks, glitter is the one for you; especially if you prefer a no-fuss high-impact look. Forget the perfectly blended smoky eye, a touch of sparkle is all you need (as your highlighter, eye shadow and your gloss) mimic Kim Kardashian’s crystal studied clutch paired with a plush velvet suit or mirror Alia Bhatt’s

Koffee with Karan look, adorned with sequins that looked nothing short of sophisticated. Add a sequined accent or a shimmery accessory, and voila you’re in the spotlight. With shimmer you’re not necessarily overdressed, but just enough to dazzle. 

Mood lifter

If the end of the year is leaving you with holiday blues, it’s time to throw your wardrobe a little party. With the right amount of sparkle, your wardrobe will echo the joys of New Year’s—take a cue from Kylie Jenner’s sequined gold dress. Shimmer is an instant mood lifter and the perfect party companion said Pat McGrath. Like Cinderella’s glass slippers, shimmer adds magic to the mundane, making you the centre of attention.

Shimmer's lasting legacy

Shimmer has a perpetual seat at the table of high fashion. Think of Rekha, draped in the golden splendour of Umrao Jaan, embodying luxury and heritage, or Priyanka Chopra Jonas, whose iconic Manish Malhotra sequin saree in “Desi Girl” became a moment etched in fashion history. Shimmer transcends time, linking eras of opulence with modern-day glamour. It's the go-to for any celebration, the epitome of luxury, and a constant in the ever-evolving carousel of trends. Shimmer isn’t just fashion, it's a fashion statement unfading in its allure to always steal the show.
