Rhinestone Jeans Are the Anti-Party Dress Trend All Over the High Street
We're quickly hurtling towards November, and event season is only ramping up from here. When the plans pile on and your calendar starts to resemble a Tetris game, there’s only so much wear you can get out of your favourite LBD before you need to call in for backup. This year, I’m parking my party dresses in favour of a rhinestone jeans to see me through the season in style. A mainstay in my wardrobe throughout the rest of the year, there’s no reason why denim shouldn’t shine in the winter months as well. And with this particular jeans update, shine it does. This season’s party pairs are glistening with diamantés, pearls and studs for a disco-ball effect you'll want to take with you to every get-together.
Across the board, brands are catching on to the glimmering potential of sparkling denim right in time for party season. From Zara's pearl-embellished jeans, to Aligne's glistening wide-leg pair, we'll be styling them up with stomping platform heels or mini kitten heels from one event to the next.
This day-to-night trouser trend will complement a muted oversized knit in the daytime just as well as a slinky silk top when the sun goes down. Read on to shop the best embellished jeans.
