Why save sequins for special celebrations, such as birthdays or New Year's Eve, when you can sparkle every day? We want our sequins to shine in the sunlight. So, here are some styling tips for your summer of sequins.
Sequin Tops
A sequin top is an easy and perfect way to elevate a classic pair of jeans. Listed are some of UGirl’s favorite bright and beautiful sequin tops. Starting with Motel Rocks, the Hala Vest Top comes in almost ten different colors and provides more coverage for a classier look. Similarly, Tiger Mist’s Ilyana Top has a criss-cross feature in the back, adding an extra detail to your look. For a great price, Pretty Little Thing’s Sheer Sequin Cami Top is great for going out and comes in black and blue. However, if you’re ready to splurge a little, the Asta Resort Carolina Camisole in Ivory is a stunning signature top.
Sequin Bottoms
Luckily, Hand Over has turned their Ex-Boyfriend boxer shorts into sequin styles as well. Any of these unique boxers or pants, even paired with a basic black or white tank top, will make for an iconic look. Of course, you can always rely on Guizo for the best skirts ever, and that includes sequin skirts too. If you want to stay on top of two trends at once, Motel Rocks’ Erna Shorts are the perfect mini shorts of the season.
Sequin Dresses and Sets
Asta Resort is iconic for its mermaid-like shine. The Yasmin Tank and matching mini-skirt come in pink and green — an outfit I could honestly die happy in. Victoria's Secret has a sequin, sheer, and lace combination of slip dresses. For the same color in a different style, the Akira Shine Bright Dress is another great choice. Lastly, a maxi dress option from Peppermayo is a definite statement piece for your wardrobe.
Sequin Accessories
For a mixture of beaded, sequins, and perfection, a Staud purse is the one for you. A more affordable option can be found at Mango for all you gold-obsessed UGirls. An outfit is important from head to toe; so why not make your shoes the star of the show? Talking shoes, the Badgley Mischka Sandals are guaranteed to get you a compliment.
I hope you have fun exploring sequins in all sorts of styles and garments this summer. And remember, it’s always ok to be overdressed if you feel good in your outfit.
