These dresses are reminiscent of the shiny 80s, are trendy now - and maybe something for the coming Christmas season

I generally find it difficult to glorify the past. To repeat old things unchanged in the now? Dead boring. I find it much more inspiring when the past, trends for example, are further developed, reinterpreted and mixed with modern things.

Extremely present in the fall/winter collections of well-known designers:that are reminiscent of the 80s. “Remember” mind you, because these looks don’t look like they’re out of time. What sets these dresses apart from their retro vibe: They are super glamorous and perfect for special occasions, such as the upcoming Christmas season. A fabulous inspiration if you don't yet know what to wear on Christmas Eve or to the office Christmas party.

Take, for example, the mini dress with a fruit pattern and voluminous glitter fruit replicas on the shoulders from Balmain: an incredibly exciting dress, if you ask me. Sparkling, extravagant, feminine – what more could you want from a dress?! Anyone who accepts presents under the Christmas tree has done everything right when it comes to choosing their clothing.

The dress from De Core also stands on its own. Countlesslet the dress shine to the maximum. An eye-catcher is the extravagant neckline, which runs so that half of the shoulders are covered, which in my opinion is perfect.

The very simple little black dress from Nº21 is a little more reserved. The playful cleavage area is exciting here. Vaquera is punky. Admittedly, the mix of a silver disco ball dress and a pointed bra is probably not for themor Christmas dinner with the in-laws, but this look is definitely an inspiration for a cool holiday look.

The current runway looks with retro dresses look incredibly modern. Two things are relevant for this: the accessories and the make-up. shoes andare more in the background of the looks. If you want to wear opulent jewelry, it's best to choose a centerpiece.

The make-up to theshinyDressing is surprisingly simple and very natural. In some cases the finish appears to be unvarnished. Elaborate updos or teased hairstylesyou can't see it either. Instead: relaxed hair without much fanfare. So the shiny dresses aren't just a fabulous choice for Christmas because of their appearance - they also save styling time. And you can really use extra minutes, especially at Christmas!
