Shine bright like diamanté!

Judging by the recent fashion shoot loans at Vintage Modes, it seems the trend for diamanté is stronger than ever. We've moved on from minimalism and become a little bored of normcore: glitzy jewels offer us a touch of splendour to our workday outfits, be that a denim jacket or a humble cardi. The aim is to look fresh and resolutely glamorous!

The jewellery to seek out now is about all-out old-fashioned sparkle. Here's our top pick of dazzling pieces from Vintage Modes that are chic not showy...

Accessorise in 2016

According to Vogue, 2016 is all about being bold and daring in your choice of accessories and, in particular, in your choice of colour. Not only this, striking bangles are also set to be a hot trend for this year; teamed with a minimalist outfit this can really make an impact.

We tend to agree at Vintage Modes - it's a quick and easy way to make an outfit stand out! We've picked out a selection of our favourites from in store - the brighter and chunkier the better!
