Sequins may not seem like something you could wear everyday just because they add a lot of sparkle and shine to your outfit but when mixed and matched with the right pieces, sequins may just have a spot in your regular day to day outfits. One of the things to remember when wearing sequins on a daily basis is no to wear too much. You don’t want to be known as the walking disco ball or anything by the people you regularly walk past by. Keep it low key and sequins will look tasteful, not tacky, on you. Take a look at these cute ways to wear sequins everyday.

  • Sequined blazer – sequined blazers are great if you’re looking for something that you can wear from day to night. A blazer with subtle sequins for details would be a great addition to your work wardrobe as you can just throw it on top of a simple, neutral outfit and wear to the office and it will easily transition into the night if you want to have a few drinks out with friends. A fully sequined blazer, on the other hand, is great for social events. Wear it on top of your dress or as part of a sexy tuxedo-style ensemble for a super stylish look.
