Shine on: How To Wear Sequins

During the festive season, everyone needs a hero piece they can pull out of their wardrobe at a moment's notice. Whether you're having cocktails at a bar or hitting the office quiz in style, it helps to have something versatile, easy to wear and suitably sparkly on hand.

Enter our silver sequinned separates. Comprising of a sleeveless shell top and a slinky midaxi skirt, the set fuses everyday versatility with eye-catching floral sequin embellishment. For more casual gatherings, pair the skirt with a brushed cashmere jumper and a pair of ballet pumps, or wear the top with your favourite smart jeans and satin kitten heels. And of course, wear together to give the mirror ball a run for its money on New Year's Eve.

Already a seasoned sequin pro? It's time to take your style up a notch. High-shine accessories make a statement and are surprisingly easy to pull off – the key is to make sure the pieces complement your outfit in tone and texture.

Our embellished grab bag will earn its keep in your going-out wardrobe. Adorned with light-catching paillettes, it offers a thoroughly grown-up take on sequins for those with magpie tendencies. Keep the rest of your outfit subtle: think a plain black top or a sleek trouser suit.

If you are weighing up whether you can you wear a sequin dress beyond Christmas, try reworking your winter party pieces throughout the year to get more mileage out of them. A denim or utility jacket adds a nonchalant finish for summer festivals or hen dos.
