When I hear sequins, I think of two things. One, Las Vegas. Two, New Year’s Eve party dresses. But contrary to popular belief, you can absolutely wear sequins in the daytime! I wore this sequined blazer (similar here) for the gorgeous Armani Prive show during Paris Haute Couture week. The show itself was to die for. With black velvet, deco prints, plunging necklines and the perfect hints of shimmer and even feathers, it was like watching art float down the runway.
The trick to incorporating sequins during the day is to offset it with more casual pieces, like I did with my go-to pair of flared Nobody Denim jeans. Because the blazer is such a statement piece, this knit tank and black and white Derek Lam heels (similar here) acted as the perfect neutrals. After the gloomy days, my team and I had in Paris, the day of the Armani show was bright and sunny and it was so gorgeous to watch this blazer shine in the light.
Have you ever worn sequins during the day? My tip is to start out small, like a bag or shoes. Then you can gradually work your way up to a blazer like this one or a skirt like this!

Nice hairstyle! I guess the trick to wearing any statement piece is to balance it off with relatively casual clothing, so that the statement piece can stand out (in this case , the sequin jacket)!

I agree – starting small makes all the difference 🙂 Hahaha I love sequins on shoes because it always feels a little magical, almost a little like Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz <3 Loving this sequined blazer that you have on – you styled it perfectly with neutrals, like your white tank and jeans!

Yes, it does seem to take a certain sense of bravado to venture out in broad daylight wearing bedazzled pieces but at the end of the day, the rule of fashion today is that there are simply no rules 🙂 it all boils down to getting as much mileage out of one’s wardrobe as possible. I wore my sequin pants with a rock band tee shirt, my FitBit, and red laced-up heels. I must confess, however, that I adore your interpretation far more xoxo
Adore this sequins blazer! It’s the perfect style/shadeto rock during the day. So chic! xx

I am so afraid of wearing sequins because I’m afraid it will look cheap or make me look old, but this is chic Chriselle!

Generally, I’m not a fan of sequins so I started small by getting the Juicy Couture sequined clutch you put on Red Thread! 🙂

I think sequins are so pretty but I haven’t been able to style them properly during day time.
Thank you for this beautiful post 🙂

I adore the sequins look. As long as it is subtle and classy. Yasss, gone are the designated days of sequins wearing only, a girl can have some sparkles and highlights in her steps everyday, not just some days:)
I love your look, it’s simply classy and chic . . . As always! 🙂
