After Hrs shows you how to rock daytime dazzle...
Sequins are usually appropriate for evening but what if you want to be Miss Metallica during the day? As they say, a little sun never hurt a sequin. If you want to be a shine-on soignee before noon, ensure that the beads have a more matte finish. Less reflective and more chic. Steer clear of the fully-sheathed tops and blazers and instead invest in pieces with small patches of metallic embellishments. The key is to balance out the glitz by clubbing them with contrasting textures. Also, opt for pieces with a relaxed fit — slouchy sequin blazers, loose-fitting pants, and relaxed tops.
Stylist Hina-Oomer Ahmed, Luxebox says, “Wearing a sequinned look in the day is tricky but can look very glamorous if done right. The best way to do that is to down play the rest of the look with neutral fuss free coordinates and minimal accessorising. A dash of contrast like a very casual white tee or boxy shirt with a slinky sequinned skirt makes for a striking look.”
Play down by layering
Designer Maheka Mirpuri says, “A standalone piece of sequin clothing can really draw a lot of attention. Play down statement making sequins by layering your look. It’s all about making your sequin pieces more ‘peek-a-boo’. Team your denims with a sequins top or wear your sequins skirts with a solid blouson in cotton. Balance out the bling of the sequins with the rest of your outfit. To maintain a balance and not make it too in-your-face, I have done a combination of sequins with French knots — these gives a good mix of matt and shimmer. Combine the athleisure trend of summer with your sequins dress - you can team up a sequins dress with a pair of sporty shoes for a day look. If you’re still not comfortable wearing sequin clothing during the day, stick to accessories. Something like a sequinned headband, small sequinned side bag, or sequinned shoes are all stylish ways to spruce up your daytime look.”
Be minimal
Pria Kataaria Puri says, “Sequins as a style is ideally an evening style. However, if you wish to wear it in the day, it is best used minimally. A splatter of sequins on a T-shirt or on an off-shoulder blouse with a simple cotton sari can be worn in the day. Sequinned hair accessories like clips, bows etc are a good way to wear the style as well.”
