How to Wear: Sequin Cardigans Without Blinding Anyone

Maybe it’s the holiday season, or maybe it’s just because everyone can use a little extra dazzle, but it’s official: sequins are hot right now. We’ll admit, we love a little flash (without going overboard, of course) so we encourage you to give this glitzy trend a try. To pull it off, start with a sequin cardigan in a neutral color–think black, cream, gold or silver.

Then dress the cardigan down with polished pieces that fit you perfectly, but are relatively simple. Black or dark denim skinny jeans, a casual tee or tank top, ballet flats and a small shoulder bag will ensure your cardigan is the star. If the occasion requires something a little dressier than jeans, swap them out for a tailored skirt that hits above the knee.
