With rising temperatures and rising hemlines on the horizons, fashionistas will soon be shedding their woolly stockings and opaque tights for breezy, sequined frocks. If the season’s runway trends are any indication at all, this year’s shimmering dresses will be making a statement for both day and night. For anyone who is eager to embrace Spring 2016’s little sequined dress, here are a few ways to sport the look now.

Casual Chic

For a wearable yet eye-catching daytime look, take your fashion inspiration from the Anthony Vaccarello runway and step out in a shiny tank dress. Try slipping into a brilliant red sleeveless number, accented with bold metallic studs and a daring thigh-high slit for a finishing touch. If you’re looking for ways to embrace this sparkling trend on a Saturday afternoon, look for a similar frock with a round neckline, mid-length hemline and loose fit.

Work Wear

Although shimmer and shine may seem like a sartorial taboo during business hours, you can expect to see sequined accented everywhere this season. To incorporate the trend into your nine to five wardrobe, step out in a long-sleeved neutral shift dress detailed with sparkling blue sequins (as seen at Lanvin). The modest hemline and neckline manage to keep the style looking work-appropriate, while a metallic necklace can complete the look. For an accessorizing touch which will balance out the dramatic glimmering detail, add a pair of contrasting pumps.

Evening

As you step out into the after hours, remember that sequins have earned their rightful place among the cocktail bars and dance floors which mark Friday night. If you were afraid to sparkle in an embellished frock during the day, you can now officially wear the trend without any sartorial woes! For a dramatic, dazzling statement which will surely turn heads, hit the party circuit in a floor-length sequined gown (as seen at Sonia Rykiel). Look for contrasting metallic hues, decorative necklines and iridescent sparkle to truly shine all night long.
