Style-Delights: How To Wear Sequin Dresses

How To Wear Sequin Dresses

It is that time of the year! Holiday parties and new year celebrations - everybody is in the festive mood!  And sequin dresses can really match the festive ambiance! They are shiny, sparkly and very glamorous. They can make you look like a star and the center of attention.  But if not done correctly, they can also make you look like the magician's assistant!  Here are some guidelines to make a sequin dress work like a shimmering charm!
  • Keep the line and drape simple - Too much volume will overwhelm, and can make you look Disney-ish! (not a good look for those over 12)
  • Keep it single color -  The homogeneous sequins will not clash with your accessories and also not give the outfit that 3D effect! (also not a good look for those over 12) 
  • Metallic or deep colors work best - Gold, silver, bronze, black work best! Deep tones in plums and purple look good too.
  • Jewel tone accessories enhance the outfit - Metallic clutches and deep jewel tone accessories keep up with the sequin dresses. Too much texture difference takes away from the outfit.
Here are 3 of my sequin dress styling ideas - Gold, Black and Bronze!

Gold sequin dress with gold and topaz color accessories


Black sequin dress with emerald accessories


Bronze sequin dress with plum and amber accessories

  2. I scored a black sequined dress at Banana Republic a few years ago on major sale - and I'm dying to try it with a long cardigan! Geek chic meets party dress - it could work, right? :) What a great post - now I want some emerald earrings!
