We all love ourselves a few glittery outfits – be it a dress, a shirt or even shoes! Not only do they add spark to our look, but they only bring sass to our attitude – we just can’t explain it! Many of you have surely cringed at the thought of wearing sequins and everything deriving from them. And we totally get it, some people have totally ruined the trend for us what with their fashion faux pas and misconstrued willingness to be fashion forward.

But the fact is, the industry’s most renowned designers and socialites have defied the odds, bringing back the sweet memories of sequined dresses and glittery skirts. The trick is to find the right balance between bold and classy and ultimately, to avoid looking like a giant disco ball.

We promise, with our set of golden rules, your outfit will be so mighty it will deserve its own seat!

Do go for a sophisticated sequin dress that you can pair with simple accessories.

Don’t forget to keep your outfit balanced. If there are sequins, make sure the neckline is not too revealing.

Do pair a neutral outfit with glittery accessories. Consider clutches or shoes, headpieces or necklaces.

It’s never okay to wear sequins or glitters from head to toe. So just don’t do it. Period.

If you’re wearing a sultry jumpsuit but have yet to figure how to glamorize it, do add a sparkly belt and let it highlight your waist!

Do go easy on the other fabrics you might wear if you’re drenched in glitter. In other terms, lay low on the leather.

Don’t overdo it in terms of shoes and bags if you’re wearing a glittery dress. Th simpler, the better.
