ELLE Tips: How To Wear Daytime Sequins
If when you hear 'sequins' you immediately conjure a vision of Christmas baubles and tacky disco lights, it's time to adjust your thinking.
Thanks to the likes of Ashish and Lanvin, sequins are now making a bold appearance in our day-to-day wardrobe.
If you don’t want to look like a walking glitter ball, wear sequins with caution – pair your sequined item with low-key basic pieces and go for clean-cut styles. Denim and cashmere are great fabrics to pair sequins with; how about a sequin roll-neck under a pair of dungarees? Or a slouchy cashmere jumper over a pair of sequin flares.
And if you’re still not convinced daytime sequins are for you… at least get on board with a handbag.
