Sequins Sequence ...Lights!Camera!Action!


Oook Queens!
You better tie your belt because today we have a really hard piece to crunch.

You guessed right it's about wearing sequins... but not only...
In fact it's all about  wearing sequins in a daytime look! 
Ok Ladies, i can already hear you from here : too bright ,too bold!

It's true adding sequins or sporting sequined pieces in a daytime look may seem a little too much.But Just because it’s not usually done don’t mean it couldn't,so don't let it stop you. More over isn't style about overstepping boundaries  of fashion rules once in a while? so why not start now?
Let's see bellow how to style your sequins piece  in daytime.

How to choose it?
An accessory
Accessorize with sequins  is the low-key way to sport sequins. Sequined accessories like purses, belts and shoes will give your outfit that nice yet subtle pop of glam that’s eye-catching enough but not too overpowering. To make sure you don’t go overboard with your whole look, balance out the bling by wearing simple and neutral classics .






An optional piece

Looking for something optional like a sequined jacket, blazer or  cardigan is also safe when purchasing  your sequined garment to wear for daytime. This allows you to wear it whenever you want and can. Doing it this way allows you to take off the sequined piece in case a part of your day (like meetings) calls for a less ‘glamorous and fabulous’ look and more of a simple one.


The Black sequin option
Black sequins are a good option to consider when purchasing a sequin garment. They are the least festive of the bunch and can easily be dress down for a daytime look.

You want to look casual with a twist ? Then ditch your denim short for a sequined one and pair it with a sheer shirt or blouse.


 An embellished pattern

You can make a high-end embellished dress or top look totally festival friendly by teaming it with dressed down flats and bright nail varnish. 
For work, you might choose a dress that got a gorgeous embellished pattern yet matte sequins.

How to wear it ?

When it comes to wearing sequins for a daytime look ,the two key rules are: Keep It simple and Add elegance. This amounts in some tips:

Layering up or down
In one case to give the touch of glam in a classic look when needed, in the other to understate a sequined piece already bold in itself, for a more daytime look.







Be accessory wise


When it comes to choosing shoes and a bag to pair with your sequin dress, choosing materials with a similar shine or sheen to the sequins can make you look overdone. Instead, use striking textures for your shoes and bag to add visual interest to your outfit. 

When it comes to choosing jewelry you can’t go wrong with a delicate and discreet jewelry to avoid competing with the sparkles of your sequined garment.

You might wear your sequin dress with black suede shoes and a matching clutch. If the sequins are a neutral color like black or silver, you can also play with color -- pair it with a red velvet handbag or pump to make your dress pop.  
Delicate stud earrings are a better match with a sequin dress than a dramatic chandelier style. 


Classy not trashy
While a sequin dress can be striking, it can sometimes have a Vegas-showgirl vibe. To make sure that you look classy and not trashy, incorporate accessories that give the dress a more elegant feel.


Go casual with denim
Can’t quite work out how your sequined piece can fit in with your casual everyday look? How about wearing it with denim? You can easily dress down a sequin skirt with a chambray shirt or dress up any casual look using denim,with a sequined garment.

For which style?
Casual 
It's all about going casual with a twist.
A silky maxi skirt under a sequined crop top  is one of the best ways to step out the box and wear sequins during the day.Finish the look with flats.


Casual chic 

Except from your sequined garment  keep the rest of your look fairly simple.

Pair your chambray shirt(NDLR Wont' you take some chambray!) with a sequined mini skirt or short.You may polish the look even more by layering with a blazer.Complete the look with heels.



Sport chic
Try your sporty Sweater over a sequined skirt or your classic tee jeans combination under a sequined bomber.Finish the look with heels,sneakers or converses and you got it!

 Corporate chic

Not too sure about what color for your sequins at work?then choose the black ones or the matte ones.

If you're already  an expert in playing with sequins, then you can even try lighter colours 

Always keep in mind to understate your sequined pieces.For instance,a neutral sequined top paired with a sequined pencil skirt is absolutely possible when understated by a classic blazer.

Ok Queens! that's all for today!
