5 Simple Rules for Wearing Sequins

 

Sequins are one of the most misunderstood clothing embellishments. They are not just for Retro disco costumes or for ice skating. Sequins, when worn correctly can add shimmer and sass to any outfit. You can wear sequins and look chic, as long as you follow the five simple rules of sequin success.



Rule 1 - Black Sequins

When you want to shine, not create a "deer in the headlights" reaction from your friends and co-workers, choose black sequins. You can achieve a shimmery and sleek look without looking tacky.

This black sequin top creates a slimming effect, right down your middle. The bare arms help you stay cool at an over-crowded party or while serving appetizers to guests. Pair with a knee-length skirt or gray dress pants. The top is affordable and can be dressed up enough for a dressy holiday gathering or worn under a more serious jacket for a work party.


This tunic comes with a sequined scarf and is a subtle way to incorporate the sequin trend into an outfit. Ideal for a work party, wear with tights or leggings and work sensible shoes. Exchange the tights for a sexy pair of sheer black nylons and your favorite heels or boots for a sultry yet tasteful evening look.

Rule 2 - Surprise Sequins

Pair these glorious Ugg boots with any outfit and you will glide into any room with confidence. Forget switching shoes at work or for girls' night out. Wear your sequined Ugg boots all day into the night.

Rule 3 - Wear Sequin Leggings Only With Solids

You can wear sequin leggings, just not with a sequin top. You could, but well, you really shouldn't. These leggings are best worn with a solid midthigh length shift, rather than simply as pants. They will also work as a trendy update to last year's black holiday dress, or with a couple of layered tops.

Rule 4 - Use Sequins Softly

Jazz up any outfit with some sequin bangles. This three-piece set contains two silver and one gold. Wear all three together, or one at a time. Share the set with your BFFs and you can each have one.

A pattern of sequins is eye-catching and flattering. Try a side design like in the is tank or a top with an embellished sequin neckline.

Rule 5 - Carry Sequins

You can sparkle only went you want to, when you carry a bright pink sequined clutch. The evening bag makes a bold statement, but can be left in the background when you want the attention to be on you.
