Wearing Sequins as Day Wear

I found this gorgeous sequin skirt at J.Crew in January for a steal.  I had intended to wear it to holiday parties this year but then I started thinking, how can I incorporate sequins into day wear?  Do you have a sequin skirt, shirt or jacket that you have worn as party wear?  You can get more mileage out of these pieces by creating a chic daytime outfit. The trick is to keep it simple and balance your sparkle with neutral basics.  


You probably have tees, chambray or denim shirts, white button downs and blazers in your closet. To style my skirt, I looked for these basics in neutral hues; white, beige, gray, navy & black.  Your sequins are a built in accessory so keep jewelry to a minimum, think dainty necklaces or a simple bracelets.  Skip the heels and complete the look with a pair of sandals, booties or even Converse. 

 Here are the two ways I wore my sequin skirt as day wear:


Top: Halogen (on sale!) / Booties: Sam Edelman / Bracelet: Tiffany / Necklaces: Stella & Dot



Tee: BP Nordstrom / Sandals: Unisa Necklaces: Stella & Dot / Bracelet: Stella & Dot

 My skirt is no longer available but I found options for you here, here and here.


Do you have a sequin top or jacket?  I found lots of sequin for day inspiration on Pinterest:

                                                     Curly Crafty Mom                                                                          Style Caster

                                                                  Refined Style                                                                         Lilly Style

If you don't have any sequin pieces but want to try this trend, here are a few options to get you started. Just pick a belt, bag, flats or booties to incorporate some sparkle into your outfit.

    This is such a great post! That sequin skirt looks so perfect with the chambray top and booties! I have those sparkly Toms in black and wear them a lot in the fall/winter. I love the skirt in Lilly Style's photo with the gold sequin top, too! Thanks for sharing my sequin top & grey maxi skirt. :)

    Love both ways, I have a sequin skirt in my closet I have yet to wear casually, maybe it's about time I do so!

    I purchased a gold sequin skirt last year and have only worn it once! I am now inspired to get it out and rock it this fall!! I love it paired with the chambray! And those sequin belts and headbands are the perfect touch to any outfit! Susan

    You are seriously so stylish!! I love both of these day sequin looks! I actually have always wanted a sequin piece but I have been worried that I wouldn't be able to wear it during the day. You have proved me wrong!

    I have a little black sequins skirt but I usually wear it as evening wear. I'm inspired to wear it with a casual t-shirt! You look great in both your looks.

    Sequins are so pretty, I love incorporating them in my daily life as well. Your skirt is so beautiful Jill and I really like both ways you styled it. The chambray/booties look is especially cute. Have a wonderful weekend. XOXO, Elif

    I have more sequins in my closet than one should probably own and I wear any and all of it for day! Something just clicked one day and I no longer associate sequins with evening! It's really great because it's such a fun look! Great post! Carylee | morepiecesofme.com

    I love sequins for day wear but I rarely do it myself, you've inspired me and I need to try it more. That skirt is awesome! Love it with the button up and with the basic tee. Will have to try that!
