Best sequin dresses and separates to dazzle in at Christmas parties
Sequins aren’t just for Christmas. But it's a pretty good place to start.
Given the current state of the world, you’d be forgiven for not feeling quite as festive in the lead-up to Christmas this year, but a little bit of sparkle can go a long way in putting a smile on your face.
Sequins might be synonymous with the party season, but their perennial appearance year after year is for good reason.
Not only do sequins make for a timeless addition to any wardrobe, the right sequin dresses imply you’ve made the most effort in the room (when really you were running out the door to catch the bus).
So, with the price of just about everything getting higher and higher by the day (it seems), why not make your key seasonal piece work harder for you this year? And, make it sequinned.
Whether it's your first office Christmas party in two years, festive drinks at a neighbours, or Santa’s favourite day itself (not to mention welcoming in the New Year with a bang a week later), a staple sequinned piece will see you through every festive season event, and beyond.
Take this Ombre Sequin Midi Skirt from Warehouse. Team it with an oversized grey knit and some black knee-high boots and you've got a great look for dinner or drinks with friends any time in winter. (In summer you could dress it down with a white vest top or T-shirt, and slides).
For a Sunday coffee date, team this Relaxed Sequin Ruched Sleeve Blazer with a slouchy white T-shirt, some faded jeans and trainers.
Make this Sequin Round Neck Tie Front Midi Tea Dress office-friendly by wearing it with a slim-fitting black jumper over the top with tights and kitten heels.
And don't save these Animal Print Sequin Wide Leg Trousers for Sunday best – why not give your dog walk a touch of glam by wearing them with your fave hoodie and walking boots?
