Every week, we bring you the best shoppable fashion and lifestyle stories from the editors at Lifestyle Mirror. Today we are sharing Taylor Davies's tips on how to wear sequins [1] in the Summer.
Sequins, a perennial evening favorite, are making their foray into the light of day. And no, we don't just mean a glittering trim here or a sparkling graphic there. We're talking no fear, fully-sequined pieces that beg to be noticed. By wearing them with casual daytime basics and low-key accessories, these dresses, skirts, shorts and shoes become just the thing for summertime parties and even a weekend errand run. No, seriously.
Take, for example, Philipp Plein's sequin-covered athletic shorts [2]. Slip those on with a pair of black Nike Frees [3] and a muscle tee and you've just nailed the sport-luxe [4] look. We're also kind of obsessed with the idea of wearing Acne's sequined boy shirt [5] unbuttoned over a solid black or white bikini [6] for the most casually glam poolside look ever. And speaking of poolside, Tory Burch has taken the flat espadrille to the next level [7] by covering them in flashy little navy paillettes.
When it comes to the sequin dress, avoid the urge to sass it up with sky-high heels and va-va-voom makeup. Subvert its traditional styling with simple flat sandals, minimal accessories and a no makeup look [8]. You'll look effortless, fancy and cool all at once.
