We usually relate sequins with the holiday season and festivities only. The good news is you can still wear those harem style sequined pants after new years. Sequins are a fun thing to wear if done correctly. The other good news is you can also wear them during the daytime but you do need to take under serious consideration one very important factor: your lifestyle. If you're a lawyer or an investment banker who requires a strict conservative dress code, you can't show up at the office wearing your new DKNY sequined pencil skirt, leave that for cocktail hour.
So, in order to guide you a little bit into the wonderful world of sequins I created a list of guidelines for you to follow. I call them guidelines instead of rules because...well... there are no rules in fashion.
1. Stick to one sequined item per outfit.
2. When wearing sequins go minimal on the accessories.
3. Balance is the key. Pair sequined pieces with other wardrobe staples like jeans, a blazer, a white button down shirt...
4. Sequined pieces look best when paired with neutral colors. Cream, black and grey are always good options.
5. Keep your make up simple unless it's halloween.
6. Stay clear from sequined shoes, regardless of the designer, they often come off looking cheap.
7. If wearing sequins thru clothing is not your thing why not try doing it thru accessories, like say... a scarf, a clutch bag or belt.
8. Don't be afraid of color. Try a sequined item in a bright hue or add a pop of color elsewhere in the outfit.
9. Wear them with cozy or matte fabrics such as knit, denim, suede, non-sheen velvet or heavy cotton.
10. Do wear them with pride. Confidence is key in wearing a sequined outfit.
Here are 5 outfit ideas you can try, enjoy them!!! although you may find some of them a little bit too eclectic but...that's just my style.
