Sequins are a fun way to add some personality and pop to your outfits. Many people, however, feel that sequins are hard to pull off as you age. This does not have to be the case. There are a variety of ways that you can incorporate sequins into your outfit while still maintaining a mature look. Try to accessorize with sequins, find subtle ways to add sequins to your outfit, and contrast sequins with a more subdued article of clothing. The most important thing about fashion, at any age, is ensuring that you feel comfortable and confident in your clothes.

Accessorizing with Sequins

Choose a sequined bag. If you are interested in adding sequins to your outfit, but don’t want to draw too much attention, try wearing a sequined handbag. This is a fun way to add a pop of youth to your outfit without feeling like you are dressing like your daughter. For example, pair a classic black dress with a bright sequined clutch for your next cocktail party or new years bash.
Try sequined shoes. You don’t need to wear a bold article of clothing to incorporate sequins into your outfit. A great way to add some pizzazz and fun to your style as you age, is by accessorizing with bold pieces. For example, you could pull off sequined heels, or a dazzlingly sequined brooch. This is a great way to insert your own individuality into your outfits without feeling like you are overdoing it.
Use sequins as a distraction. Sequins are a great way to draw the eyes and as a result they can be used to cover up problem areas. For example a high-waisted sequined belt can help to give you the appearance of an hourglass figure. Alternatively, you could pair a solid shirt with a high neckline with a sparkly or sequined necklace. This will draw the eyes to your neckline in a very subtle and mature way.

Adding Subtle Sequins to Your Outfit

Find an outfit with some sequins detailing. Sequins can be harder to pull off as you age and some people will not feel comfortable wearing a lot of sequins. There are; however, easy ways to add sequins to your outfit in a subtle way. Try wearing a shirt or dress that incorporates some sequins detailing. There are a lot of beautiful pieces available that will have a few sequins sewn into the piece, without being entirely made of sequins.
- For example, a blouse with sequins detailing around the neckline.
Wear a cardigan, blazer, or bolero with sequins. You can also add sequins to your outfit by pairing a sequined cardigan, blazer, or bolero with a solid top underneath. This will add some personality to your outfit, while still maintaining a professional appearance. This can be a great look for a business dinner or casual social event.
- Wear a black or white blouse under the jacket or sweater. This way the undershirt will not compete with the jacket for attention.
Try a solid sequined top or skirt. Another great way to wear sequins is by pairing a sequined tank top or short sleeved top with solid jeans or a pencil skirt. This look will continue to be stunning as you age. Similarly, you can pair a high-waisted sequined skirt with a solid blouse. If you are uncomfortable showing too much leg, you can always wear stockings to cover up and still pull off the look.

Styling with Sequins

Focus on creating contrast. When wearing sequins, you should always try and contrast bold sequined statement pieces with a solid and subdued article of clothing. For example, a sequined top pairs well with simple denim jeans. If you try and pair sequins with patterns or layer multiple different colours of sequins, your outfit can become too busy and distracting on the eyes.
- For example, do not pair a pink sequined top with floral pants.
- The sequins should be the focal point of your outfit, so stick to simple accessories when wearing sequined clothing.
Don’t go overboard with sequins. If you are creating an outfit that includes sequins, try not to go overboard. For example, if you are wearing a sequined dress, don’t pair it with a sequined clutch and sequined heels. This can be too much and you run the risk of looking like a disco ball. Too much sequins can be distracting on the eyes.
- You also want to avoid wearing a sequined blazer over a sequined top. Again, this is too flashy.
- Similarly, stick to one or at maximum two colours of sequins in the same outfit. Too many competing colours can look busy and will take away from the dramatic effect.
Dress for the event. Before putting on your favourite sequined top, consider where you are heading. Although sequins are a lot of fun, you should always dress for the occasion. For example, if you are heading to the office for the day, you may want to leave your sequined miniskirt at home. However, you could pull off a blouse with sequins detailing at work.
- Alternatively, if you are heading to a new years eve party, you may want to attract attention by wearing your favourite sequined dress.
Continue to take fashion risks. There are a host of style “experts” who will try and tell you what not to wear as you age. You don’t have to listen. Fashion choices are a great way to show off your individuality throughout your life. If you like to dress in an edgy and unique way, don’t stop just because you are aging.
- As long as you feel comfortable in your clothing that is all that really matters.

Tips

Be comfortable in what you wear. There are no firm rules regarding what women can wear at any age. If you want to rock a sequined dress at the age of 70, go for it!
