It pick: Glitterati

As High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens certainly agrees, metallics were everywhere this summer and have yet to leave our closets or our handbags for the winter season. Instead of just adorning our accessories, designers have expressed their love for anything that shimmers in frocks, glamorous tops, and even adding sparkle to leggings and tights. There's no denying it, winter is your time to literally shine in anything that glistens. Just in time-what better way to ring in the New Year than in some fabulous glitterati? Since this look can be loud, keep your outfit simple to let your sheen fabric steal the spotlight. You don't want to look like MC Hammer circa 1989. Pair it with shoes that are similar in color or play it safe in black or nude pumps. Don't mix metals! It doesn't translate. Just keep it sweet in simple while you show off your metallic glow and you'll be bound to turn some heads. So, shine on, ladies, shine on.
Splurge: Go for the gold in this beautifully beaded Ron Herman mini dress , $985, which looks almost identical to Vanessa's. Or be a silver belle in this Armani Python Print Metallic Dress, $1975.
Save: Spice up your LBD and make it metallic with this black tank dress, $245. Or go a funky in this Lux You Got the Silver Dress, $175. If you like more versatile styles, than the Maud Gold Tweed Dress will strike your fancy, which can be worn cinched with a tie or without.
Steal: For a more subtle sheen, look no further than this Lux Quilted Metallic Dress, on sale for only $19.99. Or be a winner in gold or silver with this Twist Neck Sleeveless Dress (slash tunic), $68.
