The best sequin dresses evoke a festive feel that only a little sparkle and shine can truly elicit. Perhaps a memorable holiday or New Year’s Eve where you dressed in head-to-toe shimmer instantly comes to mind, but we are here to prove that this mood needn’t be reserved for only one month per year. Designers have tapped into the maximalist approach to dressing, showing runways heavy on the glitz and glamour season after season, demonstrating how the sequin dress has become a modern mainstay, and why it should be in your regular closet rotation.
So, whether your social calendar is chock full of wedding weekends until the end of the year, or you are simply rediscovering the joy of dressing up after seasons of sweatpants, make sure a sequin dress is at the top of your shopping list. From the groovy, printed minis perfect for your next big trip, to the minimalist column gowns made for your next formal event, there are plenty of options for everyone. There is no time like the present to lean into the bedazzled and embellished and discover the lasting power of shine.
Any Excuse for A Sequin Dress
Just because you bought your favourite sequin dress for a fab night out, there’s no need to relegate your glittery little number to the back of the wardrobe when the night is over. This season any day is a good day for sequins, so bring a little sparkle to your everyday by pairing your favourite dress with some chunky boots and an oversized blazer or cardigan for an edgy daytime look in Winter. Or blind them with your shine in Summer with some laid back flip-flops and a logo tee layered over the top – the perfect combination to take you from the beach to the bar! Whether you go for stunning designs from Danaya, regal looks from Revie London or glittering gowns by Goddiva – It’s your time to shine girlfriend, get glitzed up and live the star-studded lifestyle of the rich and famous!
Vacation Ready
Heading away for the summer? Don’t forget to pack the ultimate going-out dress for your trip—a patterned sequin mini. Look to the mod ’60s for inspiration and find your groove with geometric patterns and clashing colours. As for styling, these dresses will look fresh with a flat, lace-up gladiator sandal for a relaxed feel that you can take from day to night.
Wedding Guest
The date has been set and you’ve RSVP’d yes, but you still have no idea what to wear. Try a sequin dress with a romantic feel to match the vibes of the joyous day. Alluring shapes with plenty of draping will be your ticket to outfit gold. Depending on your mood, go long or short in length, but make sure there are plenty of delicate trims, like satin ribbons and bow detailing, to complete the look.
Day Party
Sequins don’t have to be reserved for strictly nighttime hours. Simple tank dresses and sundress silhouettes are ideal for an elevated brunch or bridal shower, when made from matte-like sequin fabrics, in wispy, subtle prints. Be sure to pair these stunners with casual, day-appropriate accessories to not appear over-the-top.
A Night Out
An evening out on the town calls for something fun and feminine. Try an effortless slip-on tank dress, in oversized round and rectangular paillettes, to make a shimmery statement. Black and white are of course classic colour choices, or you can dabble with jewel tones to enhance that summer glow.
Black Tie Evening
If you are needing a formal option this season, channel the simplicity of the ’90s with a minimalist, column gown. These slinky styles are easy to wear while remaining entirely sexy. Interesting necklines like a chain halter or an asymmetrical cut add extra interest to an otherwise simple form.
