Now that Halloween has past and the first layer of frost was seen this morning, fashion season dictates the arrival of one of our long-lost friends: sequins. There's something about the arrival of the holidays that makes people reminiscent of turkey legs, red lipstick, and a sequin cocktail dress. My theory about this is irrelevant; however, I'm getting excited to re-welcome the colder weather with a few sparkly additions. While I may not be ready to head out fully shining, there are a few other ways to dip my (and your) toes into the now classic holiday trend.
I don't know how many times I've said it and will continue to say it, but accessories are an easy and guilt-free way to get involved in any trend.
My first sequin look is probably the most truest to my heart and, therefore, the most tomboy chicest. Sequin heeled pumps? Check. Black skinny jeans? Check. Sporty tee? Check. To make it a little more chic and modern, however, I paired it with a long coat and a quilted purse.
I have been loving the sequin on tees/sweatshirts street-style trend that has slowly been gaining momentum. So of course, I loved this sequin sweatshirt (also check out this t-shirt on my Pinterest that I'm dying to make).For whatever reason, (I really like black denim) I paired it with these ripped jeans and bright red socks. I added another black backpack, this cool wrap watch by Tory Burch, and some chunky boots.
As usual, I also try to incorporate something that's a little more outside my comfort zone. This time, it was this sequin plaid skirt by Saint Laurent. I loved the idea of pairing it with another plaid (well, I guess, flannel) shirt. Since it's getting colder, I added a deep-v sweater over top and a biker jacket. I wanted to play with prints even more, so I loved the idea of adding these argyle tights. Of course this was turning into something psuedo-punk that I would have worn back in high school, so I paired it with some booties and a beanie.
Lastly, is the simplest and probably easiest way to incorporate sequins. I could see this look being worn on casual Fridays in the office or to run errands. I loved these sequin brogues and knew, even though I already had an outfit based on shoes, that I needed to at least add them in one look. I then paired them with a more classically preppy sweater/shirt combo and slim khaki pants. To keep everything clean, I added a neutral jacket and Chanel bag.
Keep your eyes posted, and I'm sure on your next online shopping binge, you'll start seeing more and more sequins as well.
