How To Wear Sequins Beyond Festive Season

Anything that shimmers, glimmers or dazzles is usually thought to be only reserved for late night, after parties, or the festive season. But why should one be stopped from wearing something that sparkles for other occasions? Sparkles can be bold (which we love!) but they can also be more subtle, and they can even be dressed down depending on your event.

There are metallic accessories, sequin dresses, and styles that feature subtle glimmers. Never be afraid to add a bit of dazzle to your everyday look or your after 5pm look. Sequins can be versatile and suitable for almost every event when they are styled to suit. 

 

How to Style Sequins 

Jewellery is the perfect tool which can be used to dress up or down an outfit. It is also perfect for those who just love a little black dress but want to add some sparkle, or those who need a final touch of glimmer to go with their wedding dress. A sequin set will always make your life a little easier, and it is perfect for a plethora of events (read: versatile). Another perfect thing about sets is you can mix and match them. To dress yourself down for after work drinks or a date night with girlfriends, pair a sequin top with some wide leg denim. Or if you would prefer to have sparkling legs, pair sequin trousers with an oversized white tee for the ultimate street style look. A jumpsuit will also immediately make you look chic. Sequin or metallic dresses can be paired with minimalistic jewellery and neutral coloured accessories for a daytime occasion. Sequin and metallic dresses can also be worn with knitwear for a more casual yet elevated look. For dressier occasions, sequins can be paired with bold jewellery and chic heels. 

 

Where to Wear Sequins Beyond the Festive Season 

Sequin and metallic dresses can be worn to many different types of events beyond the festive season. A printed dress with metallic flecks is always a good idea if you are wanting to add a bit of dazzle to a daytime look. Perfect for a picnic, a bridal shower or a christening. A metallic gown will make for a fabulous option for a black tie gala or a formal wedding. Pair with some chic metallic heels to go all out. Sparkling sequins and shimmering metallic styles are the perfect addition to your wardrobe if you want to add a little sparkle to your life – whether it is for work or party time

 

Sequins by Season

Different types of sequins and metallics may be suitable for different seasons. For example, lighter coloured metallic dresses and sequin hues would be the perfect choice for events held in spring and summer, such as garden weddings or outdoor parties. While jewel tones are perfect for winter and autumn occasions, an emerald or navy coloured metallic or sequin dress would suit an evening black tie gala or formal wedding. Although it is always best to choose colours based on what suits you and your wardrobe, this way you can wear your sequin pieces more than once and to many types of different events.
