There is something about being draped in sequins that
will lift anyone’s sprit, and what better time is there to
feel that way than when counting down to the New
Year. So this year make sure you count down in style
and add a little sparkle to this magical night.
There are definitely tips to follow when choosing to
wear sequins on New Year’s Eve, and we want to make
sure you do it right! So here are some key things to
keep in mind.
Sequins always make a statement! Choose one item
that you will add the sparkle to and keep the rest basic.
You can wear a sequined jacket, a sequined skirt,
sequined pants, a sequined top; or choose to add your
sparkle through accessories: a clutch, shoes or a belt;
but keep it to one item unless you want to look like a
disco ball.
If you are not experienced with wearing sequins,
(and trust me, it takes experience to rock this look
glamorously), stick to the classic colours, which are
black, gold, silver and white; it is also usually safe to
wear a combination of these colours, if they are already
combined on your single piece.

Another important rule to follow with sequins is to wear
the right size. People will be looking, it’s the nature of
sequins, and you need to make sure it’s really worth
their glance. So, don’t squeeze into something too tight,
or drown in something too loose. It’s your chance of a
new look with the New Year: make sure it’s a perfect fit.
The last rule to wearing sequins, and probably the most
important: Let them Shine! This could not be more
emphasised; by going for this trendy style piece, you
have to accept that it will call attention and you need to
let it do so without distraction. So keep your hair, make
up, jewellery and accessories simple.
For the experienced and brave, sequin bottoms are all
the new trend this coming holiday season, so shorts,
pants and skirts are a great look if you can wear them
bold and wear them right.
The most important thing is to feel comfortable, look
amazing, have fun and bring in the New Year with
enough glitter, sparkle and magic to carry you the
whole year through.
