Sequin Pieces

[tifa]

I love the way Marc Jacobs styled it, with many contrasting layers and textures. I hate the tacky high street interpretation and the hoardes of girls I see at clubs with fake tanned legs and sequin mini dresses and stilettos. I've yet to see a piece of sequinned clothing I like and could afford, I don't think this 'trend' is really me anyway.

i've been a fan of sequins for a while now and have definitely been finding ways to work them into my everyday wardrobe rather than just reserving them for special occassions/eveningwear..

i have a great tori burch tank that is green with a sort of pattern on it that is covered in clear sequins for a bit of shine, and i've managed to wear it a lot this summer by pairing it with more casual pieces..
with wide legged navy blue pants and flat gold sandals
with jeans, a white t-shirt underneath, and flats at work..
i'm sure as it gets colder i will continue to wear it and work with more layers etc..

like softie mentioned on the previous page, i've found that it's all about the textures you mix together..
i bought a dress at mango on sale with some sequins on it--will try to remember to post pics when i take some--and i already think i can plan plenty of ways to wear it...
with a long sleeved blk shirt underneath and opaque tights...
maybe with a nice soft sweater over it so the sequins on the skirt part show and also peak out of the top...

the sequins just add a fun dimension to the look and as long as you carry the whole thing off with confidence, and nonchalance (who cares if it's noon and i'm in sequins--that's totally normal!) the look will definitely work for you and you can have fun with it

What about those disco vests? Oh yeah...

Do you think sequins are too evening? Can they be worn for day?

^^ I think that a sequinned mini-dress in colors like light blue, silver and gold would work during the day too.

I love sequinned things in black/bright/metallic colors. I think brown/neutral colored sequined things are pretty boring.

I like sequins when they appear as an unexpected element in a daytime outfit. Lucky magazine styles it that way pretty often. Like a loose sequin tank under a suit, or a sequin scarf with a bulky winter sweater. I agree that the mixture of textures makes it interesting.

I like the idea of sequin dresses, but I'm not sure that I could ever pull them off in real life. I think I would feel like I'd been bedazzled.

i love sequins if they look high quality and the piece is a really simple flattering cut, i want one of my fall/winter looks to be kind of mod tuxedo and i think a sequined black or white piece is in order, maybe a sequin tie or vest, if i could find a really sweet sequin mini or pants i would be all about it

 

[bluespring]

im really confuse why you girls find sequin dress appealing....

I stopped by topshop today and i found these:

what do you all think of them? i was thinking about buying one, but i'm still not sure.. i'm afraid to look like a clown.

 

[crepebacksatin]

^^ i think it's be more comfortable and more interesting if the sequins were interspersed in a chunky knit or something... this one looks like it would pinch around the forehead because of the sequins, no?

i do love the idea of a shiny, beaded hat though! you've got me thinking...

 

[Suburban Snob]

I think sequins are a wonderful thing. I love them but they have to be done right. They can really look cheap if done incorrectly.

 

[vy88]

I used to hate sequins....thought it looked tacky and so difficult to clean and keep the sequins from falling off...but the more I look at it in the clothing store where I work at...it's starting to grow on me...I really like the sequined version of the mini dress and mini skirt.

I love sequins since I was a child

 

[XxpinktinksxX]

[jackieonassis]

I bought a silver/grey sequin beanie from New Look that is of the same style recently, and within a few days (or a few hours more truthfully! ) it became my most prized possession. It looks fabulous on, plus on a rainy day, it makes a sad head happy I say that's killing two birds with one stone!

 

[whitecollargirl]

i only like sequins when its teamed with something completely opposite from it, like a sheer cream blouse with a sequin skirt, i don't know, sortof balancing out the harsh with something light and airy?

anyway i generally dislike sequins as anything sequinned in my price range is tacky and the sequins aren't sewed on individually so if one falls off, they all eventually do.

I have a sequin beret, similar to that one in black from urban. Sequins are fabulous.
Whether its a sequin dress, beret, tank top, shoes. I find them to be so attractive.
Just as long as they are wore as separate pieces and not mixed together (ex. Sequin Beret and a dress would look extremely bad )
