Sparkle This Christmas With Sequins
Sequins are right on trend at the moment. They are being used to embellish all sorts of clothes from evening wear to knitwear and even sportswear. All over sequin clothes in black or a neutral colour is also a very fashionable look at the moment. There are also plenty of pieces which use just a few sequins for a more subtle sparkle or smaller areas of sequins to draw attention to a particular area.  You can wear your sequins day or nights, anything goes with sequins this autumn and winter. Sequins are also great for adding a bit of sparkle to your festive outfits.
The beauty of sequins is that they add texture to an outfit. They also reflect the light creating shine and sparkle on your outfit making it look a bit special. Any plain piece of clothing can be transformed into something party ready with the addition of just a few sequins. For those who want to be the centre of attention, all over sequins are the way to go.
We love this long line sequin cardigan (pictured above) which has an assymetric hem and long sleeves. It works so well for so many situations. Try teaming it with a pair of black trousers and black top for a Christmas day outfit that is practical enough to cook the christmas dinner in. You could also wear it over a little black dress for a stunning Christmas party outfit. If you are really fashion forward, you could wear it with a pair of jeans or casual trousers for a laid back look that sparkles.
Other ways to wear your sequins this winter could include a beautiful sequin party or evening dress. Black is definitely the most classic option but there are a range of other colours that will make you stand out from the crowd even more. Even dresses often have attractive sequin detail around the neckline which will draw peoples eyes towards your face.
Sequin details on the shoulders of knitwear is also very on trend this season. This is a really fashion forward look which makes the shoulders a feature of the outfit. Knitwear can also look great with just a few sequins around the neckline or floral designs with sequins in. Sequins can even be used embellish a jumper and make the shape of a rounded collar for a fashionable look. For the day time look for muted shades of grey, pink and brown and pale or clear coloured sequins that give a vintage feel. You can also choose from matt sequins for a more low key daytime look.
As amazing as sequins are, don’t overdo it. The golden rule of sequins is to only ever wear one sequin piece at a time. If you are wearing a sequin dress or jacket keep your jewellery to a minimum as you will already be sparkling. If you are a little nervous of wearing too many sequins, why not try adding sparkle to your outfit with a sequin scarf or bag.
