Best Sequin Pieces

From Sequin Jackets to Sequin Skirts, the Best Shine.

By , About.com Guide

Nothing perks up your wardrobe like a great sequin piece. Whether you wear a sequin jacket with a pair of jeans or go all-out with a sequin dress, it's a look that says "Dressed up!" Try mixing sequins in with everyday items like wearing a sequin tank under a chunky sweater cardigan. Or layer a sequin sweater on top of denim leggings. Unless you are looking for a full-on holiday look (in which case you can mix with traditional holiday fabrics like velvet), opt for dressing sequins down.

1. Sequin Maxi Skirt

Go full-length with this elegant (and trendy) black sequin maxi skirt from Calvin Klein. The beauty of a piece like this is that you can keep it really dressy by adding a velvet or satin top or dress it down by pairing it with a denim jacket: either way this sequin maxi is a great piece. With this much shine, keep accessories -- including shoes -- on the minimal side.

2. Cold Shoulder Sequin Dress

Aidan Mattox's cold-shoulder sequin dress is one of our very favorite looks because it has a hint of sexiness without being too bare. In red -- it's dynamite! This body-skimming cut works with almost any body type to flatter. Perfect! It also comes in a deep green.

3. Sequin Belt
