There is something about sequins that instantly screams party! Whether it’s a birthday, a New Years party or cocktail party, sequin dresses add instant sparkle and glamour. A reason why many of us may be intimidated by a sequin outfit is because what conjures up in our minds is high-shine ‘look at me’ ensembles which can easily look OTT if worn incorrectly. If you are still dipping your toes into the sequin trend, then the easiest way to incorporate the glitz and glam of a sequin dress is to look to metallic dresses with shine. That way you can get the look and feel of a sparkly dress but without the vivacity. Another way to comfortably wear a sequin dress is by selecting shades and colours which flatter and complement your skin tone or look to dresses with different textures and degrees of sparkle. Look to a dress with sequin trim, or a sequin waist-band to add that wow factor but in a more pared down way. We will leave you inspired with 5 sequin dresses for 5 different occasions. Sparkle on!
