Try a graphic t-shirt knotted over a side-slit sequin midi dress and complete with strappy heels. You can also tuck a solid turtleneck or crew neck sweater into a belt, and then add sheer tights and booties.

Choose simple metallic jewelry that nods to the shine of your sequin without overpowering it. In some cases, you can wear simple gemstones, such as pearls or diamonds, but don't try to add colorful distracting ones.

Nude or metallic heels are versatile and can go well with sequin dresses of various colours. They create a streamlined and elegant look, allowing the sequin dress to take centre stage. This is a great choice for formal events and parties.

Adding denim or leather to your sequin dress is the perfect way to tone it down. You can style your hair in an up-do for a more effortless look, and keep accessories very minimal - you can even pair it with sneakers for a cool edge.

Weddings and funerals are the two most glaring examples of places you shouldn't wear sequins.

Should you wear a necklace with a sequin dress? ›

Your modest sequin gown will most likely have a high or covered neckline, and wearing a pendant or necklace may just look too much! We would advice to avoid necklaces and just pair it with a nice pair of black or pearl earrings.

However, if your dress is brightly colored or features an elaborate sequin design, you should keep your earrings sleek and simple. Think diamond studs or skinny drop earrings.
