Sequins Are In For 2024 - Our Tips To Wear Them All Year Long
If you're a lover of something shiny, then we've got good news for you... Sequins are very much back in fashion! Yep, we're dubbing 2024 the year of the sparkle, because this is the year your sequin outfits can (and should) be worn all year long instead of being reached for in the back of the closet on New Year's Eve. Then, let's be honest, crammed right back in there with those failed New Year's resolutions right after.
We saw the start of this resurgence in 2023 when sparkly neutrals came back, but now, pretty much any color goes. Only, there are a few different things to take into account when wearing your sequin looks all the way through the year instead of only in the winter. Of course, in most places around the world, summer days and nights come with different needs from your outfits compared to their winter equivalents.
But don't fret if you're a newbie to the all year-round sequins looks, because we know sequin clothing can be a bit daunting at first — and we've got your back. To help, we've compiled some of our very best tips and universal outfit ideas to make sure you're nailing the sparkles all year long.
Sequin shorts can be super versatile
Along with being a super cute way to bring the sparkly stuff out for summer, sequin shorts are actually really versatile. Probably more so than you think. They're perfect with a crop top for a festival in the sun, or dressed up with a sophisticated top, colorful blazer, and heels for a hot night out. Bonus points if you add a metallic bag to match your sequins, as the style is still on trend from fall 2023.
Opt for a sequin jumpsuit
Head-to-toe sequins? Count us in! One of the easiest ways to make the most of the sequin trend is by slipping into a jumpsuit. Jumpsuits are super easy and a great addition to your wardrobe because they take the guesswork out of having to pair different pieces together. That can sometimes prove extra tricky when there's a lot of shine involved. For something that could work year round, opting for something with a sheer illusion may be the way to go as you'll probably find it's not as heavy as the velvet jumpsuits we see a lot of around the holidays.
Rock that sequin mini skirt
Another super cute way to bring sequins into your year-round wardrobe is to put the sparkle in your skirt. A sequin miniskirt is ideal for those summer party nights, because there are countless ways to wear it. From adding a cute bodysuit or crop top to rocking it with sandals or one of 2024's trending shoe styles, a sequin covered mini skirt really is a versatile piece. And when that summer fun turns into more cozy autumn vibes? Just add a pair of tights or boots to keep warm.
Sparkly dresses can work all year too (in the right style)
Dresses are probably what you think of first when you think of a sequin outfit. Usually they're made from thicker material though and darker in color for the holiday season. A great way to try something different and more all year appropriate though is to opt for lighter colored sequins in a slightly different style. That could mean adding a more casual collar or buttons so your dress isn't too stuck in one season. A midi dress will also help your look transition more easily from season to season.
Make everything sequins
Okay, so we know a full sequin ensemble is a little out there, but you deserve to make a statement. If you're feeling super bold, get your hands on a full three-piece sequin look, which may be made up of pants, a crop top, and a jacket all in the same shade. Not only can this style carry you through multiple occasions, but you can also mix up the pieces as the seasons change. A sequin crop top is ideal for summer, while a sequin pants and jacket can be worn anytime of the year. To really make this style universal, opt for a lighter pastel color so you're not simply replicating the typical winter sequin style.
