While we usually associate sequins with the “C” word, (it’s far too early to mention it yet) sparkly fashion pieces actually work way beyond the festive season. Yes that’s right, they work for summer too.

Anyone who has the internet will have seen this year’s Met Gala and all the sparkly looks that came with it –from the likes of Anna Wintour in Chanel, to that Celine Dion Oscar De La Renta dress. Then there’s the 2019 Cannes Film Festival where Tilda Swinton hit the red carpet in a maxi embellished Haider Ackerman creation, and Eva Longoria went for pink. So. Many. Sequins.

Of course we don’t all have A-list events to attend on the daily, so this is why sequins are not only perfect for wedding guest looks and after-dark soirées, they actually look just as good for daytime too.

Whether you go for a sequin midi skirt like the Olivia Rubin stripe, or the Mango check style in our edit below and team with a Persil-fresh white T-shirt and trainers. Or, you go for a subtle hint of sparkle with Paco Rabanne’s latest “It” bag, we guarantee you’ll embrace sequins for any occasion – even a trip to the supermarket will become more glamorous. Continue to see our top 10 sequin pieces that will put the sparkle into summer.
