There are certain staples that make an appearance every year. Every holiday season the sequin skirt makes its timely arrival.
Just like Mariah Carey during the Christmas season, it’s a guarantee this skirt will be around.
The skirt may not be for everyone, but it certainly looks festive. While it can be worn for holiday parties or New Years , it can also be pulled out for the casual holiday gatherings with friends.
How To Wear A Sequin Skirt
An inevitably cool way to step into party season dressing is to follow a laid-back approach.
Wearing a sequin skirt with a cashmere jumper or a winter white sweater is one way to style the sequin skirt. This is the best approach for dinner with friends.
A graphic tee layered underneath a leather jacket is the perfect outfit for an edgy, rock vibe. There is really no wrong way to style the sequin piece.
Scroll below for how to wear a sequin skirt.
1. Cardigan
If you were under the impression that you have to choose between a sequin mini skirt and cozy knits, then think again.
Take a classic wardrobe essential and turn up the sartorial dial with an unexpected, yet totally welcome twist. Adding a chunky cardigan is the ultimate mix of comfort style.
2. Sweater
A sequinned skirt has much more appeal than a sequin dress. The versatility of the festive piece is endless.
The classic party piece is made daytime appropriate with the addition of a cozy sweater.
Stick to a tonal palette – especially when mixing a black jumper and black sequin skirt. Add black tights and black boots for maximum warmth.
It’s the perfect combo that can please both the minimalists, who gravitate toward elevated basics and neutral colors, and the maximalists who can’t resist glitter and sequins, bold patterns, and vibrant colors.
It’s the perfect New Year look.
Pairing casual sequin skirts with a sweater is reflective of a wider fashion movement that is happening right now, which has put high-low styling front and center.
Why not inject a pop of color that is found at this time of year? Step outside your comfort zone and add a fiery red sweater and red opaque tights for the ultimate winter party combination.
Finish off the look with statement earrings.
3. Button Down
It is business on top and party on the bottom with a long sleeve blouse and sequin skirt pairing. The everyday wardrobe staple is the ultimate styling hack.
The trick is to add sparkle with one sequin separate, and mix it with pared-back basics for a clash that works. Finish off with knee high boots.
The opposite also works – pairing a sequin top with trousers.
Transform your next evening wear look with a hypnotizing sequin skirt.
A neutral top has the ability to make the statement piece shine even brighter.
Again, a classic button-up makes a great companion next to the dazzling skirt.
4. Jacket/ Blazer
Sequin has always been synonymous with occasion wear or party dressing.
But that in no way should dissuade you from incorporating a little leather in your everyday wardrobe.
On the same note, a denim jacket can easily be layered with sequin skirt outfits.
One of our favorite styling tricks this fall and winter? Layering a slouchy blazer atop a dainty sequin skirt.
For the latter, the combo is still striking and noticeable, but the simple top keeps things grounded. In short, a sequin mini skirt with a basic top is the perfect combo for parties or even just a casual dinner.
If you are looking for added warmth, add a black turtleneck sweater underneath an oversized blazer.
Don’t let your sequin midi skirts have all the fun this holiday season! Instead, show a little leg.
You could argue that sequin skirts have felt “dated” for the past few seasons, replaced instead with elegant dresses.
However, thanks to a few clever styling tweaks – especially adding feathers to the ensemble – adds an element of fun that can’t be found in a dress.
5. Tops
With its inherently playful essence, the sequin skirt is the new-season party piece.
Whether you’re looking for a way to zhuzh up your girls’ night out looks or simply want to dazzle at brunch, reach for a skirt with sequin fringes.
Just add a white shirt and polish off the look in a pair of pointed-toe heels.
Of all the fall-to-winter colors to consider this season, rich brown is an undeniable choice.
The key to nailing this trend is to take the less is more approach, if there is such a thing when it comes to sequins.
Be the star of a cocktail party with a rich hue – a brown simple top works flawlessly with the midi sequin skirt.
6. Hoodie
A dramatic skirt will finesse any occasion look. Instead of reaching for a black blouse, why not opt for a black hoodie and white sneakers?
An inevitably cool way to step into party-season dressing is to follow the laid-back approach.
