Fall Must Haves: Sequins For Day

Decadence is often the word one associates with sequins: it sparkles, it shines, and it can add up to serious cash due to the handiwork it takes to make a piece with these beloved appliqués on it. Though some may believe that sequins are relegated to the realm of evening wear, Uptown Girls say forget that rule and sport this bedazzling look for day! This fall, sequins can make a plain daytime look really pop with a hint of sparkle, giving off a vibe of casual elegance. While lines such as 3.1 Phillip Lim feature skirts covered in sequins, there are certainly cheaper options that are also more appropriate to wear during the day. This top from Forever 21 (pictured) is a great way to showcase this trend while the sun’s out for just $22.80. We love the idea of a sequined tank like this under a thick, cozy cardigan. Let just a hint of sequin peek out from under the sweater; it will leave more to the imagination that way! Remember to steer clear of colored sequins for this trend – black, silver, and gold keep this look relatively subdued and neutral. However you choose to style your sequins, you will certainly feel extra-special when you wear it.
