From understated jewelry to the perfect shoes, we’ll help you put together an outfit that will turn heads for all the right reasons:

2. What Jewelry do I wear with a Sequin dress?

DIAMONDS:

Diamonds are the perfect choice. Sparkle and shine all night long with the perfect diamond accessories to complement your sequin dress! A pair of diamond earrings or a statement necklace will add just the right amount of glamour to your look. If you want to go all out, opt for a sparkling diamond bracelet or ring. No matter how you accessorize, diamonds are sure to take your sequin dress to the next level!

EARRINGS:

Earrings are the perfect way to add a touch of sparkle to any outfit, and they can make a sequin dress pop. There are lots of different styles of earrings to choose from, so you can pick the ones that best suit your look.

• If you want to keep things simple, opt for a pair of small stud
• A pair of single pearl or tear drop earrings will always look classic and shiny.
• Adding a pair of statement drop earrings can complete the look, creating a stylish yet sophisticated look.
• If desired, wear delicate gold jewelry; when paired with a delicate dress, the result is always elegant and feminine.
• Whatever style you choose, make sure your earrings are in proportion with your dress.
• If you’re wearing a very ornate gown, it’s best to keep your earrings quite understated.
• Plain metals like silver or gold with subtle bases are the safest call for all sequin dresses.
• Mixing colored jewels can look stylish, but keep the colors consistent when coordinating with your dress.
• Navy blue or burgundy stoned-styled earrings look regal with golden and silver shades of sequin dresses.

NECKLACE:

You always wonder what necklace to wear with sequin dress?  Indeed, one should never wear a necklace with a sequin dress. But rules change! You should select a necklace that adds flair to the dress and gives a little authority. When selecting a necklace, take into account both the style of the dress and the neckline.

• We all know a simple choker or a single strand of pearls can go a long way when styling your dress. Twist it with opera-length strands or rope pearls.
• Plain metals such as silver, gold, or bronze supplement almost all sequin dresses. Thin chains and small pendants can elevate your look without trying too much.
• A statement necklace is a great way to add some extra pizzazz to a sequin dress. For example, a dress with a plunging neckline might look best with a long, dramatic necklace.
• Short necklaces are always meant for V-neckline and straight necklines.
• A strapless dress would be complemented by something shorter and more understated.
• In general, it is best to avoid necklaces that are too busy or ornate, as they can distract from the beauty of the dress itself.
• Consider your dress’s neckline; a diamond drop or a simple pendant chain looks chic and not over-the-top if you’re wearing a V-shaped gold, silver, or champagne sequin gown.
• Colors like purple, emerald green, or bronze-hued sequin dresses demand shorter silver or white gold necklace jewelry.

COCKTAIL RING:

A cocktail ring is a perfect way to add sparkle and glamour to your sequin dress. When choosing a cocktail ring, look for one that complements the colors in your dress.

• Cocktail rings are usually large and ornate, with plenty of dazzling stones to catch the light.
• If you have a gold or silver dress, opt for a ring with similar metals.
• For a colorful dress, try a ring with brightly colored stones.
• If you want your cocktail ring to stand out, go for an over-the-top design with lots of drama.
• You can choose to wear some warm metallic or even a bit of cool silver-toned rings to match your sequin outfits.

BRACELETS:

One way to add a bit of extra flair to your look is to choose a bracelet that coordinates with your dress

• Understated: A pair of delicate bracelets would be ideal if you wish to go for a more understated look.
• Statement: Choose some chunky statement bracelets for a more glam look. A statement cuff or bangles in silver or gold looks gorgeous with sequin styles.
• Color: In terms of color, there are a few different ways you can go. You can either match the color of the sequins on your dress or opt for a contrasting color. If you’re wearing a silver sequin dress, you could choose a bracelet in black or white.
• Style: Don’t forget about the type of closure you want for your bracelet. A toggle or slide clasp is always an elegant choice that will keep you secure all night.
• Matching your ensemble with bracelets in different shades of gold or silver will always add elegant charm.
• All sequin-colored dresses would look great with a solemn silver or two-toned gold chain bracelet.

3. What kind of Purse to pair with a Sequin outfit?

The purse or a clutch is something that always comes in handy, so you need to style it right for your sequin dress.

• Think of satin, velvet, and metallic purses or clutches when you style your outfit.
• Choose gold, studded, and stoned styles but subtle colors, to make your sequin dress stand out.
• Avoid shiny and sparkly hues.
• Champagne, off-white, beige, blush pink, and silver-colored sequin gowns look very elegant with a burgundy velvet clutch.
• A bronze dress or a black sequin dress goes best with purses in shades of black, gold, white, or beige.
• Minimal metallic or green-colored sequin outfits demand an element of softness and should always be styled with muted colors.
• Remember the rule: always match your bag, clutch, or purse to the lightest or darkest color in your outfit.

4. What Shoes to wear with a Sequin dress?

Shoes are one of the most important aspects of accessorizing a sequin dress. The right pair of shoes can make or break your outfit, so choose wisely. Here are a few tips:

• Heels: Heels are always a good choice when wearing a sequin dress. Try pairing your dress with block heels or stiletto heels. They can help you look taller and slender.
• Pumps:Open-toe pumps or peep-toe with strappy styles, black or neutral-colored pumps look flattering when matched with a sparkly sequin dress.
• Flats: If you’re going for a more casual look, consider flats, sandals, or ballerinas. Make sure they’re not too plain – a little sparkle will complement your dress.
• Wedge Sandals: if comfort is your priority, opt for wedges with block heels, they give a neutral accent to a sequin dress, especially with straps, and are short in length.
• Boots: Depending on the size of your dress, boots, thigh-high boots, and ankle boots can all work well with a sequin dress. They look classic, urban chic, and versatile. They have become very trendy in the last few seasons.
• Color: Color is another factor to consider when choosing shoes to wear with a sequin dress. Silver and gold are always safe bets, but you can also experiment with other metallic shades like bronze or copper.
• Shorter sequin dresses look stunning when worn with nude-colored shoes that match your skin tone.
• Clear transparent heels or pumps are always a win when styled with any colored sequin outfit.
• Navy or beige shoes are a fantastic pairing for bronze-hued sequin outfits.
• When it comes to gold sequin dresses, life’s ultimate goals are black or gold shoes.
• Deep-hued velvet burgundy shoes look classy and elegant when paired with champagne, silver, and off-white outfits.

5. What to wear over a Sequin dress? 

Jackets have always been the ideal complement to a sequin dress due to their sheer utility. If you don’t want to go for the bling-sparkly look, you’ll need to add an extra layer to your dress, so make sure you get the right fit, fabric, and stylish jacket.

• Try opting for a sequin bustier if you are afraid to go for a fully sequined dress. For example. A sequin bustier with a jacket paired with satin or silk pants will give a refined look. Classy yet very sexy.
• Keep the color and texture of your jacket simple so that it does not steal the thunder of your sequined dress.
• A silk blazer, velvet jacket, or suede jacket would enhance the look of your sequin outfit.
• A bomber, leather, or short jacket would make a cool outfit.
• A short shrug or a short fur jacket styled well will transform your look.
• A grey jacket looks phenomenal with silver sequins.
• A black or suede jacket goes very well with navy, gold, bronze, and emerald green sequin outfits.

6. Should you wear Tights with a Sequin outfit?

When it comes to sequin dresses, there are a few different looks you can go for. Wearing tights or stockings can add to the glam quotient.

• If you want to keep it simple and classic, black opaque or matte is always a good choice.
• You can also go for a more dramatic look by choosing a color that contrasts with the sequins, like white or cream. Or, if you want to stand out, try a bold color like red or blue.
• Wearing patterned stockings with your dress can look very attractive.
• Avoid flesh-colored or nude stockings; black tights would do the magic.
• Fishnet tights are a complete rage again, so slip them on!
• Sheer stockings with some sheen or semi-sheer stockings can give you the right sparkle.
• Consider tights when selecting a sequin mini or a short dress in silver, rose gold, or bronze; it will be an instant hit.
• Needless to say, multicolored sequin ensembles look great with black stockings.

FASHION IT UP

• Have fun with colors, go beyond the classic black, silver, and gold.
• Try something fun, such as an artful sequin embellishment.
• Sequins can appear heavy, and draggy. Pay attention to structure, silhouette, sleeves, neck, and rear zip fastening.
• Try out wearing a sequined blazer, sequined pants, or sequined shorts if the whole sequin dress is too much for you.

Expert Tip

• Go for nude matte lipstick, neutral eye shadow, thin eyeliner, and nude nail paint.
• Learn how to say no to yourself when you style your dress. Too many accessories can overpower the dress.

7. Takeaways

• Choose your jewelry carefully. A sequined dress can be overwhelming, so choosing jewelry that won’t compete with the dress is important. A simple necklace or pair of earrings is all you need.
• Invest in matte finishes instead of anything too glittery; since a sequin dress is already quite sparkly, you might want to tone down the shimmer in your accessories.
• Let the dress be the star. Remember that the sequin dress is the star of the show, so don’t go overboard with your accessories. Keep things fairly simple and understated.
• With the right accessories, make your sequin dress a regular closet rotation. Bling it on!
