If you are looking to make a statement at your next event, whether your birthday is coming up or you have been invited to a black tie ball, you can never go wrong with a sequin dress. Sequin dresses are all about glitz and glamour, which means they can be hard to style. In this guide, we will tell you how to style a sequin dress so that your dream of wearing one can come true.


When to Wear a Sequin Dress

Sequin dresses can be worn to any cocktail or formal event. As long as there is no casuality in the dress code, then a sequin mini, midi or full-length gown is definitely appropriate.

What is a Sequin Dress?

A sequin dress is a dress with small, reflective plastic or metal disks that are sewn onto the material of the garment. Sequin dresses are all about glitz and glamour, so if you are wanting to make a statement at your next event, a sequin dress will definitely do the job.

How to Dress Down a Sequin Dress

You may think, dressing down sparkles can be difficult, but let me tell you how to make it easy.
Adding denim or leather to your sequin dress is the perfect way to tone it down. You can style your hair in an up-do for a more effortless look, and keep accessories very minimal - you can even pair it with sneakers for a cool edge.  

Can I Wear a Sequin Dress to a Wedding?

You most definitely can. As long as the dress code is cocktail or formal and the guests are expected to dress up. Also make sure to not wear white sequin and outstand the bride!

How to Accessorise a Sequin Dress

What Jewellery to Wear with a Sequin Dress

Too much sequin and sparkle can easily make your look a complete mess. Make sure to not go overboard with the accessories. This means to keep jewellery minimal and do not take away from the sparkle of your sequin dress.

What Jacket to Wear with a Sequin Dress

If you want to dress down your look, go for a denim or leather jacket, but if you are keeping it formal, pair your dress with a coat or fur stole for an added level of sophistication and class.

What Shoes to Wear with a White Sequin Dress

Any colour pairs well with white. If you want to keep it simple, nude or neutral toned shoes would give an elegant look. If you want to add a pop of colour, bright pinks, blues or greens will give a fun and flirty look.
