Fact: Here at Brit + Co HQ, we love wearing sequins. We love wearing sequins so much that we’ve made a pledge to wear them beyond the countless holiday soirees and New Year’s Eve shindigs. Because, if you ask us, a little extra sparkle is just what the doctor ordered. How else will we be able to combat those dreaded January blues? Check out these 18 blogger-inspired looks that make sequins completely wearable… even during the daytime.
1. Pop of Red: Sequins with an edge. We like it. Kimberly Pesch’s bright red trousers and black leather jacket make for a rock ‘n’ roll look that is unstoppable. (via Eat.Sleep.Wear.)
2. Everyday Sequins: Looking for a surefire way to take your outfit up a notch? Just add a sequined top, of course. When layered underneath a utilitarian vest and jeans, you’ll be well equipped for a low-key Saturday. (via Bows and Sequins)
3. Green With Envy: Part sporty, part glam — we’re totally digging this chic sweatshirt-approved style that has cool girl written all over it. You know what they say — go bold or go home. (via Style Scrapbook)
4. Sequined Tee: “No biggie, I woke up like this.” For an Insta-worthy #ootd, don’t hesitate to pair a sequined tee with boyfriend jeans. (via A Song of Style)
5. Business Professional: Step up your professional look by throwing a sequined skirt into the mix. When paired with a chambray shirt and schoolboy blazer, this look will take you from the conference room to after hours in no time. (via Casual Glamorous)
6. The Layered Look: Calling all prepsters, this look is for you. Layer your sequined top over a gingham shirt for an outfit that is visually on point. (via A Little Dash of Darling)
7. Minimal Sequins: Sequins need not be flashy and over the top to be deemed cool. As exhibited by Julie Sarinana, black sequins are fierce and daring in their own right. (via Sincerely Jules)
8. Sequined Shorts: DO wear sequined shorts throughout the holiday season, in celebration of New Year’s AND beyond. Just add a silky blouse and tights for an A+ look. (via A Little Dash of Darling)
9. Striped Sequined Shift Dress: Slip on a sequined shift dress with little to no accessories. For that finishing touch, add a crisp white collar like Bee did and you’ll be in business. (via Atlantic-Pacific)
10. Sequins Dressed Down: Casual is the name of the game most days. When you’re looking to add a bit of sparkle to your everyday getup, pair a striped sequined top with denim for a look that is the epitome of effortless. (via Cupcakes and Cashmere)
11. Plaid and Sequins: Not just restricted to the holiday season, we vote in favor of pairing sequined skirts with plaid well beyond NYE. (via Pink Champagne Problems)
