One fabric I love to wear in the winter is sequins. It’s not practical or warm but it helps get me through the dreary winter months. Think about it, you’re wearing a coat or baggy sweater and want some pizzaz and sass. Well, just add sequins!
During fashion week, sequins were one of my staples. I had a rose gold sequin skirt and paired it with embossed croc booties, an oversized sweater, and a jacket. Then I had some sequin pants and did a “blue look” with a blue sweater, hat, and coat. As you can see sequins brightened up an outfit that would have been a little drab without it. Below are a few tips to help you style sequin in the winter months.
How to Wear Sequins in the Winter
Keep It In One Color Scheme
In the photo above, I kept my look to one color, blue. The sequins didn’t pop entirely in this all-blue outfit, but added some fun depth and shimmer!
Wear It In Accessories
Sequins can be great in accessories like a headband, beret, cape, handbag, shoes or scarf. It gives a winter outfit a glam vibe without going overboard.
Find Pieces That Look Well Layered
I wore these pants to September Fashion Week with a button-down shirt knotted. I could also wear it with tees and bodysuits. But the test of a truly versatile piece is in sweaters.
Keep It to Just One Main Piece
Don’t go overboard, just have a top and jeans, skirt and bodysuit or pants and sweater.
Dress It Down with Denim
If you’re worried about sequins being too dressy, you can dress it down with denim. Pair a denim jacket with a skirt or dress, a chambray shirt with pants, and denim with a sequin top or jacket.

Give me all the sequins!! It’s literally in my socials and blog name, lol. Love the extra sparkle and love how you styled them! xoxo, Sarah
I think I primarily associate sequins with winter because they’re worn a lot around the holiday season. I love how you made them more accessible for a “regular day” – or at least a fun event – outside of Christmas lights or NYE gowns hehe.

sequins are always such a fun addition to an outfit – love how you styled these pants
Oooh these are good tips, and I especially love dressing it down with denim. I always feel like sequins are super dressy (for NYE really) and I hesitate to rock it for that reason. You rock this at NYFW!
I am just now getting into sequins! I love these pants, I have two dresses I LOVE but, they’re sequins, I need to figure out how to style them to wear more often.
