Sequins have long been a mainstay in the world of party dressing, whether in the form of a floor-grazing maxi dress or blinged-up accessories. But it feels as though the sequin is having a moment in the spotlight this year, particularly the sequinned top. Thankfully, with high-street and designer brands alike offering up their own iterations on this iconic party piece, there's plenty to choose from. Plus, I am happy to tell you that sequins are super easy to style.
If you're not much of a party-dress person, the sequin top is the perfect alternative. Throw it on with jeans and heels, and in 30 seconds, you have a statement-making cocktail ensemble. Slip one on with your favourite miniskirt and kitten heels and you're ready to hit the dance floor. Trust me when I tell you that there are so many ways to wear this trend. Don't believe me? For all you sequin-ambivalent individuals, I've put together four easy yet stylish outfits that incorporate a sequinned top. From tailored trousers and sparkling co-ords to tulle midi skirts, scroll down to see and shop my sequin-top outfits. You can thank me later.
1. Sequin Top + Tailored Trousers
Balance out the high-shine glamour of Ralph Lauren's gilded top with a pair of COS's wide-leg tailored trousers and clean-lined accessories.

2. Sequin Top + Matching Bottoms
For an easy yet impactful outfit, reach for a sequin co-ord, such as this forest-green Zara pairing. Just add diamanté hair slides and platform shoes—perfect for Christmas cocktails or a jazzy work event.

3. Sequin Top + Baggy Jeans
The most low-key way to wear sequins (if that's not an oxymoron) is with jeans. I love the idea of wearing a wide-leg pair in faded denim to give an edge to shimmering separates and glam accessories.

4. Sequin Top + Tulle Skirt
This is, by far, my favourite pairing. With its caramel hue and fine layers, Raey's tulle midi skirt is so beautiful and offers a textural contrast to H&M's brown sequin T-shirt. A pair of low-heel Manolos will complete the look nicely.
