t’s the season to go big or go home and even if the minimalist team has won you over, there are subtle ways to work the “big fashion” trend into your personal style for a high fashion twist. Over the years, we’ve watched high-end designers throw in their weight on high glam detailings.

The result is a spectacle of glam waiting for you to get on.

All too soon, as the weather finally pitches its tent in the warmer temperatures, these universal high glam trends are slipping out of celebrity haute couture into everyday streetwear — a literal dream come true. Imagine walking the streets in feathers, and no one gives a judgy glare. That’s the vibe that’s currently unfolding. Don’t you just love it?
