Sequin dresses, metallic minis and shimmer separates, all in one place for the nights that happen under string lights. This is our edit for New Year's Eve, holiday parties, birthdays and every invitation that says festive: sequin skirts and tops you can wear with what you already own, metallic dresses that move with you, and shimmer pants that turn a plain top into a party look.
Sequins for New Year's Eve
Midnight is when sequins make the most sense, because they reflect every light in the room. A sequin mini with a simple sandal is the classic. Our New Year's Eve outfits guide matches each kind of night, from a house party to a formal dinner, with the right amount of shine.
Metallics for holiday parties
For an office or cocktail party, one metallic piece is enough: a sequin top over black trousers, or a metallic dress with a blazer. See every festive option in our holiday party dresses, and the dress-code tiers in our holiday party outfits guide.
Sequin and metallic questions, answered
Can you wear sequins to an office holiday party?
Yes, in a measured dose. Choose one sequin or metallic piece, such as a skirt or top, and pair it with something plain like a blazer or black trousers. A sequin midi with a blazer reads festive but office-appropriate. Save head-to-toe sequins for New Year's Eve.
What shoes go with a sequin dress?
Simple shoes go best with a sequin dress: strappy sandals, a pointed pump or a metallic heel in the same tone as the sequins. Let the dress be the only sparkle. Skip embellished shoes, and choose a block heel for parties where you will stand or dance for hours.
Are sequins appropriate for a wedding?
Sequins are appropriate for evening and black-tie weddings when the silhouette stays formal, such as a floor-length gown with allover shimmer. Daytime and casual weddings call for less shine. Avoid white, ivory and silver sequins that could read bridal, and keep sparkle to one element.
