I’m A Fashion Editor, Here’s How I’ll Be Styling A Sequin Dress This Party Season

Need tips on styling a sequin dress this party season? Let me share my tips with you. When the party season hits, I’m all about sequin dresses and, through the years, I’ve picked up plenty of dos and don’ts when it comes to wearing them well. Plus, if you’re currently on the hunt for your perfect sparkly silhouette, plus some gorgeous heels and bags to style them with, you’re in the exact right place. I’ve curated an edit of must-have designs that truly deserve to be seen over the coming weeks. So, keep scrolling and prepare to swoon over all of the sparkles. And, pick up some invaluable styling tips along the way!

Against a soft pink and purple backdrop, a person showcases the elegant LOVESHACKFANCY Paulinette white sequin mini dress. They complement their look with matching pink high-heeled sandals, while their long, wavy hair cascades down gracefully and they maintain a neutral expression.

Styling A Sequin Dress With A Mini Hemline

When it comes to styling a sequin dress, especially a mini one, I have two rules. One, there are no rules. And two, you can never have too many sparkles. Therefore, I’m wasting no time adding the Paulinette iridescent sequin mini dress by Loveshackfancy to my cart. Alongside the equally dazzling Loco leather bag by Valentino Garavani and the Mikel crystal-embellished sandals by Loeffler Randall of course.

Meanwhile, if you’re not so into the gold and silvers of party season, I see you. You’re the very reason I added the eternally pretty, sequin floral mini dress by Fleur Du Mal to this edit. Firstly, I’m obsessed with the adorable pink hue. Secondly, it gives us all a chance to style it with the chicest metallic heels and bags. I’m opting for the Secret woven metallic clutch by Serapian and the Altina metallic embossed leather sandals by Schutz.

Styling A Sequin Dress For A Holiday Party

Holiday season is almost here and styling a sequin dress will soon be your go-to outfit. Therefore, when the occasion calls for something super dressy, make sure you have dresses like the strapless sequined tulle gown by Alex Perry on hand. This sensational, floor-length silhouette demands attention – and deserves every bit it gets. To compliment but not take away from its classical beauty, opt for a subtle designer evening bag and heels. Hint: the Calyso mini leather wallet bag by Saint Laurent and the Peleona Mary Jane pumps by Manolo Blahnik will work perfectly.

Meanwhile, for everything from cocktail parties to office soirees, slip into the Finta dress by Loveshackfancy. Firstly, it dazzles with all-over sequin details. Secondly, it gives a wow moment with the lace-trimmed V-neckline. Add the Slow Kisses crystal-embellished sandals by Aquazzura and the Glam Slam classique mini bag by Maison Margiela to turn heads and earn maximum style points!
