As spring fashions pop up in stores so are sequins, but are they a carryover from last holiday season? Not exactly. Sequins for spring are smaller, and somewhat refined, so size matters as does color. Gone are the holiday jewel tones, red, cobalt blue, and heaven forbid, green brights. Silvers are a bit more muted, and warmer. Of course black is doable as long as it is toned down, say as a layer underneath. The updated look is pastel, flesh-tone, and most popular, white. I have seen dark navy sequins as an accent stripe for the nautical trend, but I’m not goin’ there.
For daywear, sequins as a casual top with jeans or as a layer underneath is fresh and fun. I have seen cute sequined short sleeve tunics, tank tops with partial sequin accents, and one that came home with me from a recent trip to New York, a strapless bra top. Before you scream Madonna circa 1980’s, this sagey-grey, bandeau top adorned with micro mini sequins will barely peek out from under a deep knit or tee.
For evening wear, same color rules apply only forget about being subtle, and go for it either in a dress or accessories.
As from last season, you will find sequins at all price points so my advice is if it suits your mood, indulge in a piece or two that fits your budget, and wear it often as you like cuz as trends go, they’re hot, then they’re not.
Stay tuned for more spring trends.... I’m excited about new fresh looks!
