Shimmer Alert: Sequins Are In for Day and Night, and Here’s What to Shop

Are you on board?

Sequins have long been associated with after-dark glamour. But the fashion world is having a major sequin renaissance, and it’s no longer waiting for the sun to set. From midi skirts for brunch to blinding discocore dresses for the holiday parties, sequins are here for both day and night. And honestly, we’re not complaining.

Why Sequins Work for Daywear

Gone are the days when sequins were only for NYE parties. Designers like Stella McCartney and Loewe have shown us that sequins are versatile, approachable, and dare we say… casual? Think sequin slip dresses layered with chunky knits, glittery pants paired with boxy blazers, or even a subtle sequin tank under a trench coat. Daytime sequins give you the perfect excuse to add some shimmer to your errands or coffee runs.

The only rule is to keep the rest of your outfit toned down. Pair a sequin skirt with a plain white tee and sneakers, or offset a sequined blazer with denim and loafers.

Sequins for the daytime? Trust me, it’s a vibe. I styled this @H&M vanilla sequin pencil skirt in an unexpected way — with a @Maison Margiela burgundy bodysuit, an oversized @sourceunknown.official blazer, and @ZARA western boots. It’s unconventional, but IMO it works. 📍Style Tip: When styling a statement piece like a sequin skirt for daytime, pair it with contrasting textures and more casual elements. Oversized layers and grounded accessories (like western boots here) create balance and make the outfit feel wearable yet bold. Would you wear sequins during the day? Save this for outfit inspo and let me know how you’d style a sequin skirt!
