Sequins for Daytime

Sequins are gradually becoming a wearable daytime dressing alternative. Tanks and shift dresses outfitted with the small, shiny disks are no longer just for making an impact in evening wear.

For those brave enough to add a little sparkle to their daytime wardrobe, a garment dressed in sequins and styled in a low key way can add a dramatic element to your everyday style. The key to pulling it off? Keep other elements of your outfit casual and simple.

Sequined tanks, tops and sweatshirts are a great way to add a little shine to your daily grind. Try a sequined tank worn under a neutral blazer or a sequin patterned sweatshirt over a white flannel oxford with a pair of distressed denim skinnies. Opt for sequins in a colorful or decorative design for a chic look.

Bottom

Slipping into a full sequined skirt is a great way to wear this trend in the daytime, and works best when worn in a pencil shape that falls mid-calf. Opting for a style in a monochromatic color is the chicest way to wear a sequin skirt, especially when paired with a simple cotton tank tucked in the front, or a simple, loose knit sweater.

All Around

Sequined dresses are making their way into daytime dressing with the addition of casual and classic layers. If you try a sequined dress with a fitted bodice and full skirt, pair it with a form fitting denim jacket, or throw on a sequined shift dress with a boxy oxford blazer and tights.
