As with pearl detailing on grunge boots, we also like magpie-attracting design incorporated on tough-looking boots.

All in the styling 

To prevent resembling a disco ball, I'd recommend one shiny item at a time. Play with metallic or glitter trousers, wrap tops or knits, pairing it with traditional items like jeans and check blazers. 

Shop:

Wrap top, H&M, R249. 

Grey glitter trousers, Mango at Spree.co.za, R599.

Glitter tights, Spree.co.za, R99.
