Sequins in the Spotlight: Shine Your Way Into the Season’s Hottest Trend
Party season is upon us, and we are so here for the festive looks! Sequins and shimmer are taking over the Fall/Winter 2025 fashion season, not just for parties but also as part of an elevated everyday wardrobe. It’s safe to say that glamorous and maximalist fashion is in! Statement pieces, metallic textures, and high-shine fabrics are dominating runways from New York to Paris to Mumbai.
We’ve always seen iconic celebrities flaunting unforgettable shimmery pieces, from Old Hollywood glamour (think Marilyn Monroe and Cher) to bejeweled gowns like Beyonce’s Met Gala 2015 outfit redefining red carpet glamour. We’ve also loved seeing our Bollywood queens in sequin sarees and gowns, like Deepika Padukone in her viral black and gold sequin saree by Sabyasachi or Kiara Advani and Janhvi Kapoor frequently seen blending sequins into modern Indian fusion looks, crop tops, lehengas, and jumpsuits.

With major fashion houses like Valentino, Balmain, and Manish Malhotra featuring high-shine pieces in their 2025 collections, we’re seeing this trend trickle down into street style, whether its more subtle styling like paired with basic wardrobe staples (a white graphic tee paired with a sequin mini skirt) or in line with the ongoing Y2K fashion revival (glitzy hair accessories, metallic belts and sequin dresses) and we love all of it!

If you’d like to embrace this everyday sparkle fashion trend, this is the perfect time, the festive season is when everyone is dressed in their finest celebratory styles, for parties and daily style. Here are some shimmer and sequin styling tips to help you elevate your style this season, from basic to blingy-
-
For Parties & events, you can wear a dress or co-ord set with sequin details for instant drama with minimal effort. Look for ones with flattering cuts and pair with kitten heels and minimal jewelry.
-
For a fun out-of-the-box look, pair a metallic toned skirt with a fitted corset or cropped blazer- very trendy, very cool.
-
A sequin bomber jacket or blazer layered over a monochrome outfit creates effortless glam. We love an LBD with boots and a sparkly jacket thrown on top.
-
If you want the sparkle in smaller doses, opt for shiny accessories like metallic heels, shimmery clutch bags or rhinestone-studded belts.
Wondering about how to wear sequins everyday? We got you! To add some sparkle in your day-time looks, try a casual-glam contrast outfit formula, here are some examples
-
A sequin tank top with high-waisted jeans and a jacket gives a peak of shine- a perfect mix of dressed up and laid back.
-
A sequined mini skirt paired with an oversized sweater is a chic mix of textures, giving that very effortlessly cool girl vibe.
-
Balance a sparkly dress with neutral sneakers or loafers for a street-style-approved look.
-
You can also choose sequins in neutral tones like champagne, silver-grey, or olive gold for a more wearable daytime shine. Layering matte fabrics like denim, cotton, or wool with shimmery pieces helps balance the shine and make them more wearable in the day.
So, whether you’re lighting up the night in head-to-toe sequins or adding just a shimmer to your everyday slay, one thing’s for sure, this season is all about standing out and loving every minute of it. Sparkle isn’t just a trend; it’s a statement. It says you’re bold, you’re confident, and you’re not about to dim your shine for anyone.
So go ahead, pile on the glam, turn heads, and walk like the whole world is your runway. Shine unapologetically, because fearless fashion is in.
Confidence is always fabulous #ShayeNotShy
