Marc Jacobs’ Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear collection debuted the fun faceted sequins in their women’s collection on skirts, cardigans and dresses. Although you may not have ever had sequins on your radar, I firmly believe that every woman ought to own something feminine and chic with sequins adorning it for your fun and frivolous piece when you’re feeling merry!
Women’s clothing gives us an endless amount of possibilities to mold our outfit in accordance to our mood, our destination, and our seasons of life. Rather than sticking to what you always know to be safe, take a route less traveled by yourself, and try extending out to the branches of fashion that you’ve never tried before. Even a cute sequin skirt can be paired with what you’re familiar and comfortable with, without losing so much of who you are.
Sequins on women’s apparel gives it a party look to most peoples’ eye. But although sequins have that fun let’s-get-down look to it, worn casually with a gray jersey tank top and ankle boots, you have your perfect street chic ensemble.
Since the sequins are your eye-popping flashy piece, your other pieces must be quiet to balance out the sparkly sequins. Whether you’ve chosen to wear a sequin skirt, shorts or pants, simple leather ankle boots even out your combination of skin and sequins for a rock star on the streets look.
Sequined women clothing now comes in a mix of gold, silver and black. Whatever suits your fancy, it always goes so perfectly with simple tops in white and black. You can just use your sequined women’s apparel, and grab your favorite v-neck t-shirt or tank top to tuck in. The minimalism of the tops complement the flamboyance of the sequins beautifully.
When observing the trends that are hitting the runways, at times, it’s difficult to see how such a look will transcend the high-end fashion world, and transpire onto the streets where we walk. But while shopping, you will see elements of the fashion trends that will be available to you to mix and match how you see fit. Even though the sequins are an easy way to go for a party-look, try thinking outside the box to make something typically meant for something fancy, into an outfit you can wear casually while going out too.
The texture of the sequined pieces also give you ample room to play with your various textured pieces to create a simple contrast that works for you. Even pairing the sequins with denim, or sequins with soft cotton work when you have the confidence for it.
The beauty of the sequined bottoms are its ability to be worn in the day as casual chic, but turned into your favorite night-life statement piece. Trying to be efficient with your wardrobe is one of women’s greatest challenges. But with sequined pieces and a pair of your favorite ankle boots, you will forever be formulating new ideas for gorgeous outfits that you and your admirers will love.
