As the season of concerts, festivals and parties continues to unfold, showcasing a dazzling array of glitz and glamour becomes a top priority for many. Yet, when the final notes fade and the festivities conclude, your sequined ensembles don’t have to be relegated to the back of your wardrobe. Sequins are seasonless and can be styled for any dress code or occasion. Commonly, when thinking about sequin evening wear, people tend to visualise star studded colourful cocktail dresses. However, sequins don’t always have to be the focal point of an outfit, rather they can be the elegant final touch to elevate your look. Take the origin of sequins for example, the term originated from Sikka, Arabic for coin before becoming known as being featured on the costumes of flapper girls.
The number one question when it comes to sequins being suitable for all occasions is, can sequins be dressed down? And we say yes they can be. Sequins have the shape-shifting ability to make a more casual look, suitable for a brunch with friends or an informal work dinner. They are highly versatile and can spice up your wardrobe in a number of ways. The use of sequins can add a special touch, and they create the perfect mix of sparkle and elegance.
Enchanting Ensembles
An enchanting sunset wedding deserves an ensemble that matches the starlight atmosphere. We believe that mothers of the bride as well as wedding guests should be encouraged to wear sequin gowns to a wedding. Sequin gowns that have cooler colour tones such as navy, emerald, and sapphire are the perfect hue for autumn and winter weddings. And why stop at sequins? You can also accessorise your look with striking heels and illuminating double drop earrings. Accessories offer the perfect contrast against sequin embellishments.
Hidden Gems
Incorporating sequins into an everyday look can be a fun way to show your personality. Styling separates such as tops and pants or skirts are a great way to dress down a look, pair an off-the-shoulder top with a sequin jacket to add texture whilst maintaining a more daytime look. Alternatively, a sequin skirt or pant option can be a great way to add the element of shine. Accessories always inject fun into a look and are a great way to sneak extra sparkle into your final look. A sparkling handbag or pair of ballet flats can be the ultimate hidden gem that completes an everyday look.
Sequins for Black Tie
Black tie and formal events can be the best occasions to dress up in a sequin gown. Although it is traditional to wear black to a black-tie event, it is not a mandatory part of the dress code (unless the host says otherwise). Black tie gowns can be infused with colourful sequins such as lavender and hot pink which add a playful pop of colour. Luxe fabrics such as chiffon and lurex paired with sequins can elevate any gown, creating an unforgettable look. Match the colour of the sequins with a similar coloured headband or earrings to unveil an elegant and modern final look.
