For me the festive season means three things: mulled wine, roaring fires and on the fashion front, sequins. While I like to keep things relatively classic for most of the year, as soon as December hits, all restraint goes out the window and it’s sparkles, sequins and embellishments that have my heart. Whether you’re heading to your work Christmas party, looking for a standout dress for the big day itself or want to give the fireworks a run for their money come New Years, I’m a firm believer there’s a sequin outfit (or accessory) for every event.
Yet, while sequins are no doubt the trending style of the season, there’s no getting away from the fact that, for the most part, they aren’t the most environmentally friendly of fabrications. Sadly, many of last season’s party pieces end up in landfill come the following year as we’ve fallen out of love with them before the hot chocolates even cooled. That’s why I’m a firm believer in investing in, not just any old sequin buys, but seriously great pieces that you’ll reach for year after year.
Thankfully, this season both luxury brands and the high street have made this easier than ever delivering on sequin offerings that are not just big on sparkle but that also look incredibly elegant and elevated too.
These are sequin pieces you can return to year after year and never get bored of or easily rework to make them feel fresh and exciting each season. From the most incredible sequin party dresses to outerwear and accessories, these are the best sequin pieces to shop now (and love forever)…
