Sequin Trend 2018

By Poppy Cory-Wright on 18/7/2018

From floor-skimming dazzlers to shimmering pouch-bags

Gone are the days when 'hygge' and 'Scandi' dominated style sections; replaced with the likes of 'colourful', 'clashing' and – in this case – 'sequinned'. Whether it's Alessandro Michele's Gucci effect, or just the cyclical nature of trends coming into play (we're looking at you, 80's disco era), maximalism is most definitely in..

From floor-skimming dazzlers to shimmering pouch-bags, sequins are enjoying an almighty – and versatile – comeback. They may have been reserved for cocktail parties and festivals in times past, but now they're becoming accepted as night, day and even work-wear.

We've gathered our favourite sequinned numbers below for your inspiration:
SHOWSTOPPERS

Think Cinderella-meets-disco-ball. The key with sequinned party dresses is to keep it liquid and languid in shape – avoid overly fitted forms.

Rixo Blouson Sleeve Midi Dress, £256. Buy it here
Attico Sequin-embellished wrap minidress, £ 1,353. Buy it here
Temperley London Celestial Dress, £1,000. Buy it here

THROW IT OVER THE TOP

Keep the rest of the look simple, add one of these, et voila.

Clockwise:
Norma Kamali Belted sequined tulle trench coat, £268. Buy it here
Zara Top With Sequins, £12.99. Buy it here
Ragyard Intergalactic Peacock Kimono, £175. Buy it here
Zadig & Voltaire Kim Sequin Parka, £835. Buy it here


CASUAL SPARKLE
Sequins can be casual, too. From Zara's lazy-cool sweater to Anthropologie's riff on a kimono.

Zara Sequinned Top, £9.99. Buy it here
Kooples T-Shirt, £55. Buy it here
& Other Stories Bird Sequin Hoodie, £79. Buy it here
Anthropologie Rosie Sequin Kimono, £78. Buy it here

SEQUIN SKIRTS

Pair a sparkle-drenched maxi skirt with a white tee and sneakers for a dressed-down look that packs a punch in the office, or rock a sparkly mini with a tailored shirt on a night out, a la Carrie Bradshaw.

IRO Natou Belted Sequinned Skirt, £185. Buy it here
Olivia Rubin Rainbow Sequin Skirt, £220. Buy it here
& Other Stories Sequin Mini Skirt, £49. Buy it here
