This idea first came about not only because of the seriously strong sequin separates on the market, but also in response to this season’s latest street style scene. During spring 2024 Paris Fashion Week, one showgoer stepped out in a sequin red midiskirt, which she then styled with a classic blue button-up and a chic cashmere crewneck. The result? A look that was the perfect balance between ease and elegance. Consider us hooked! Steal her style below, courtesy of J.Crew, Hommegirls, Allude, and The Row. Also curious as to how to style sequins for every day? Incorporate Banana Republic’s gold-sequin tank top into your working wardrobe, layered underneath Blazé Milano’s boxy blazer and a pair of wool trousers from Nili Lotan. Then, there is Massimo Dutti’s matching sequin skirt set, which we recommend styling with a pair of knee-high boots from Staud and Modern Citizen’s affordable shearling jacket.
Other sequin midiskirts stealing the show include those from La Ligne and Mango. We’re wearing the latter with an all-white winter wardrobe, thanks to The Frankie Shop’s maxi coat, a Guest in Residence oversized sweater, and a pair of ivory smoking loafers from Le Monde Beryl. Who could resist Staud’s sequin red tee, either? It packs the perfect punch of color when peeking out underneath a Tory Burch peacoat.
Ahead of the holiday season, here’s how to style sequins; 10 fabulously festive outfit formulas you can wear on repeat no matter the occasion!
A Classic Blue Button-Up With a Sequin Red Midiskirt
Remember the super chic Parisian we called out earlier? Shop her look, below, starting off with Hommegirls’ classic blue button-up and a black cashmere crewneck from Allude. The pièce de résistance, of course, is J.Crew’s sequin red midiskirt. While a pair of polished loafers from The Row complete the look, honorable mention goes to Mango’s sequin clutch.
A Sequin Tank Top With a Boxy Blazer and Tailored Trousers
Who says your working wardrobe can’t shine bright? Enter Banana Republic’s gold-sequin tank top. Styling-wise, layer it underneath a boxy blazer from Blazé Milano and Nili Lotan’s cashmere-blend trousers. A pair of pointed-toe kitten-heel boots from Aeyde takes this look to new heights.
A Menswear-Inspired V-Neck With a Silver Sequin Midiskirt
If you haven’t already heard, this season, fashion has gone gray! Take part courtesy of a V-neck sweater from &Daughter and La Ligne’s silver-foil sequin midiskirt. Meanwhile, a barely-there heel from The Row elevates the look ever so slightly, while Massimo Dutti’s chic crossbody bag keeps it down-to-earth enough for daytime.
A Sequin Off-the-Shoulder Top With a Baggy Blue Jean
It’s a fact: 16Arlington’s off-the-shoulder sequin top is the ultimate going-out-top. However, we’re here to encourage you to wear it with a baggy blue jean and a pair of ballet flats for a more casual, cool look. And if you require a bit more coverage, layer over & Other Stories’ classic black coat to stay stylishly warm.
A Festive Matching Skirt Set With a Cropped Shearling Jacket
A one-and-done outfit formula is never not appealing–and this festive matching skirt set from Massimo Dutti is no different. With a subtle shine, style the shimmering duo with Modern Citizens’ cropped shearling jacket and a pair of croc-embellished boots from Staud. Continue the shearling theme and sling Staud’s Bean bag over your shoulder for a textural touch.
A Winter White Outfit Formula With a Sequin Midiskirt
The winter white outfit formula is a closet classic for a reason–it’s forever in style and almost too easy to pull off. This winter, consider The Frankie Shop’s ankle-grazing maxi coat and a Guest in Residence cashmere crewneck as your base layers. Then, add in Mango’s silver sequin midiskirt and a pair of smoking loafers from Le Monde Beryl. Accessory-wise, wrap up in a checkered-print scarf from Cos and carry Gucci’s newly imagined Horsebit bag.
A Sequin-Embellished Midiskirt With a Fair Isle Sweater
Fair Isle plus sequins, could you think of a more festive winter wardrobe combination? Get the look courtesy of Alex Mill and Des Phemmes. Then for a hint of edge, style the duo with Cos’ leather moto jacket and a pair of biker boots from Reformation. Bring the sequins back in with Staud’s sparkly moon bag.
A Sequin Red T-Shirt With a Denim Midiskirt
Consider this sequin red T-shirt from Staud a welcome upgrade to any old plain white tee. Styling-wise, layer it underneath Tory Burch’s black peacoat and a denim midiskirt from Victoria Beckham. A pair of riding boots from Cos are a chic outfit addition; and the same goes for gold-adorned accessories from Burberry to Jennifer Behr.
A Sequin Turtleneck Top With a Suit Pant and Blazer
Placed underneath J.Crew’s white dinner jacket, Theory’s sequin turtleneck top adds the perfect amount of glitz and glamour. Continue the strong suit in a pair of tailored trousers from Zara and Alaïa’s crystal-embellished Mary Janes. Editor’s note: shop these now before they’re bound to sell out yet again!
A Sequin Trouser With a Distressed Leather Jacket
Don’t consider yourself a skirt fan? Opt for a sequin trouser, like this one from Retrofête, instead. Finish off the latte-inspired look in a chocolate brown turtleneck sweater from The Frankie Shop and Mango’s distressed leather jacket. Accessories from Gucci and Toteme are also right on theme.
