Sequins may be tasteful or not. The way they look highly depends on the way they are used. But what they are definitely not is subtle or understated. They seek to attract attention. So, going by that, there are basically two kinds of people; those who need sequins, and those who don’t.

This party season, however, even ones who are usually reluctant to put themselves out there, may feel the urge to welcome some sparkle into their wardrobe. This shiny little detail is taking over the ramps slowly and you can expect to see sequins on the high street very soon. In designer fashion, even minimalists are deploying sequins’ glam cousins: glitter, rhinestones and crystals. Go all out with a sequined shirt paired with raw silk pants, or take it easy with dupatta decorated with sequins. You can even keep it contained by accessorising in the detail, like flaunting a pair of sequined pumps, or a clutch.
