For everyone who is excited about it, here’s how you can integrate twinkly flair into your summer wardrobe.

KEEP IT MATTE

From bright and bold bling to a matte finish, sequins have many types. It’s your choice that can make all the difference.

When looking for ways to add some sass to your summer look with a sequin dress, choose the *one* with the matte finish. Less reflective sequin will catch the least light, making up a perfect party choice in the summer or during the daytime in any season.

SUBTLE, PASTEL COLORS ARE GREAT

Think about sequins, and the first thing you’ll picture is a bright gold or silver dress. Isn’t it?

But as far as the fashion trends are concerned, sequins aren’t just limited to gold or silver. You can find them in myriads of other shades, ranging from bold neutrals to light pastels.

Yes, you heard us right! A subtle pastel sequin dress is a real thing, and it’s all the rage. If you dream of shining for a summer soiree without looking tacky, a simple sequin dress in blush, aqua blue, or lavender shade is perfect.

Peep into this fusion blue v-neck sequined tulle Mac Duggal gown for a better idea.

PAIR IT WITH DENIM

An easy and instant way to dress down sequin is to pair it with denim. Adorn a sequin top or tee with denim jeans, and see the result. You’ll look absolutely chic for summer, ready to crash any casual party like an ultimate diva.

Another trick is to throw a denim jacket over a stunning sequin dress. Being dapper to the top level, denim will set off the extra sheen, making your favorite sequin outfit look summer-friendly.

TEAM IT WITH NEUTRALS

If you’re heading out for the day and looking for a casual yet sassy outfit, then a combination of “sequin and neutrals” is your answer.

Put on a sequin skirt or pants with a neutral top, or vice versa, and you’ll look sheerly cute for the hot season. Any feminine details on your neutral top, like ruffles and pleats will do wonders.

A TONE DOWN, ALL-BLACK LOOK

Too much glare and glow aren’t definitely summer-appropriate. But fret not; you can easily tone down the shimmery effect by sliding into an all-black sequin ensemble.

Be it a jumpsuit, a long dress, or separates, an all-black sequin look is perfect for a daytime wedding or a nighttime cocktail party. Not to mention - it is a key to slay for a curvy or plus-size fashionista.

LOOK FOR CLASSIC SILHOUETTES

Tight, form-fitting sequin numbers can be a little loud for summer. Instead, look for outfits that have a more relaxed fit.

If you’re all heart at elevating your feminine appeal: think of classic or slouchy silhouettes adorned with sequin.

Classic styles, such as sequin a-line and wrap dresses, look exquisite and feel comfortable. As they’re not hugged tight to the body, they leave enough room for you to breathe on a scorching hot day.

This sequin a-line Mac Duggal dress is a perfect example of what we are talking about.

SAY YES TO LIGHTWEIGHT FABRICS

It’s summer; you don’t have to go for thick sequin fabric, as you may end up sweating instead of slaying.

Make your love for sequin work on a hot day by opting for a lightweight fabric, such as tulle, chiffon, mesh lace, or lavish cotton. Not only will you look summer friendly but stunning enough to be a showstopper.

JUST A TOUCH

If you don’t wish to look like a Christmas tree in summer, a dressy outfit with just a touch of sequin is the right choice.

You can seize on a monotone dress with sequin details on the neckline or waist. Such a style is perfectly apt for a formal workplace look, too.

PICK THE PRETTY PRINTS

The cutest way to sparkle in the sunshine is to wear a printed sequin dress.

Sequin dresses with pretty prints, like floral and stripes, help you flaunt your femininity with elegance. Plus, they are on the top of the fashion chart 2022.

This floral sequin evening gown from the Mac Duggal Couture Collection proves that prints are the very essence of the feminine power and help reflect inner beauty.

KEEP THE REST OF THE LOOK MINIMAL

Sequins are glamorous in themselves. Pairing it with bright and bold accessories will only make you look tacky, no matter the season.

When wearing a sparkling sequin dress for a certain occasion, make sure to keep the rest of the look minimal. Choose only one statement piece at a time.

Speaking of makeup, a subtle “‘no-makeup look” is picture-perfect to marry with a sequin outfit. It allows the natural sheen of the sequin to speak for itself.

 

There you have it - all the best ways to incorporate sequins into your summer wardrobe and slay like a diva. If you are already fascinated to shine out from the crowd this summer season, wait no more and start shopping for your favorite sequin pieces now.
