Sequins 24/7 – a trend that never goes away
Sequins are one of those fashion phenomena that never truly goes out of style. Every season, they take on a new form – sometimes as a subtle touch of elegance, other times as a statement of expression and boldness. In 2025, sparkle returns in all its glory, but no longer as a carnival flash – today, we wear sequins at all times of day, combining them with classic styles, minimalism, and sporty casualness.
Sequins on the catwalks – from classic to contemporary expression
From the golden discs sewn onto the robes of pharaohs to shimmering haute couture creations... Sequins have always been a symbol of status, prestige, and the magic of light. Many people probably don't realize this, but their history dates back to antiquity, and their contemporary incarnations are the result of decades of designer experimentation. In the 1920s, sequins symbolized women's freedom and emancipation. Flappers dancing in sparkling gowns demonstrated independence, rejecting corsets and convention. Then came the era of stage extravagance. The Supremes, in their sequined gowns, became icons of elegance and boldness, while David Bowie and Studio 54 turned them into a manifestation of individualism and playfulness in form. Contemporary fashion shows demonstrate that this trend is constantly evolving – Jonathan Anderson for Loewe, Georges Hobeika, and Dries Van Noten treat sequins not as decoration but as a narrative material, building emotion, rhythm, and light.

Sequins and fabric – how do we combine sparkle with modern fabrics?
The secret to sequins' timeless appeal lies in contrast. Metallic discs stitched with soft knits, matte gabardine, or raw denim create a contemporary balance. Technical linings and stretch mesh lighten the silhouette, while slightly oversized styles (e.g., a sequin skirt worn half a size up) allow for freedom of movement and everyday usability. Also worth noting are the new finishes: satin sequins with a "smoky" sheen create a shimmer that's not aggressive, but rather soft, perfect for daylight.
Today's sequins are lighter, more flexible, and more eco-friendly. Thanks to new technologies, they combine with soft knits, tulle, and technical microfibers, creating garments that sparkle, but are also breathable and allow for unrestricted movement. Designers are increasingly pairing them with matte fabrics—cashmere, raw linen, denim—to achieve a controlled contrast. Sequins are no longer dominating, but are beginning to harmonize with the fabric, becoming its natural extension.
Sequins as an element of elegance and a bit of rebellion
Sequins are paradoxical: they can look like both salon etiquette and fashion resistance, which is why they resonate so well with our times. They're a visual antidote and, at the same time, a tool for self-expression. Contemporary elegance isn't about the total '80s look, but about intelligent dosing. Sparkle becomes the focal point of a look that says, "I'm here, but on my own terms."
Gold, silver and sequins – elegance in a modern version
Instead of a “carnival” shine, we choose shades of metal that match the temperature of your complexion and style:
-
gold adds warmth and combines beautifully with beige, camel cashmere, and chocolate brown, perfect for people with a warmer complexion;
-
silver brings coolness and purity, looks great in combination with black, navy blue or white, adding a futuristic touch to the styling;
-
Hematite and rose gold are a compromise between classic and original, they introduce subtlety and are less obvious than traditional metals.
Remember: the more formal the event, the finer the paillette and smoother the line, and for a semi-formal event, the larger the discs, textured surfaces, and asymmetry.

Sequined outfits – how to incorporate them into everyday and evening looks?
Today, sequins are making their way from clubs to the streets. They're increasingly appearing in everyday outfits, paired with jeans, sneakers, and minimalist styles, becoming a fashion statement, a way to inject self-irony and freshness into your look. Sparkle with classic, shine with matte, glamour with simplicity – the key lies in well-thought-out combinations. Find out how to style sequins!
Sequins for Everyday Life – Combine Shine with Classic Style
Sequins during the day? Absolutely. It's important to soften their impact with simple forms and fabric textures. Here are a few tried-and-true combinations:
-
jeans and a sequined top – the easiest way to shine, add a jacket and loafers and the look will take on urban elegance;
-
sequined skirt and sweater – balance between softness and shine, choose pastel cashmere to “calm down” the shine;
-
T-shirt and sequined jacket – a nonchalant mix for meetings or dates;
-
bomber jacket + sequined bottom – a sporty contrast that gives a casual and fresh look.
Sequins for the evening – eye-catching, but not overdone jewelry
Evening sparkle requires precision. Sequins are a decorative element in themselves, so the rest of the outfit should only complement the effect. Before choosing accessories, consider what you want to highlight – your face, shoulder line, or perhaps your silhouette. Choose:
-
stud earrings or small drop earrings – perfect for sparkling dresses;
-
one dominant accent – if you wear long earrings, skip the necklace; if you choose a choker, opt for subtle earrings;
-
matte materials – patent leather, satin or velvet beautifully balance the shine of sequins;
-
glow makeup – instead of glitter, choose the “glass skin” effect, i.e. fresh, natural and modern makeup.
Sequins in 2025 – jewelry that combines sparkle with modernity
Sequins are also increasingly appearing in jewelry. In 2025, designers are using micropaillettes and metallic appliqués in earrings , bracelets , and necklaces , giving them a light and modern feel. The world of fashion is permeated by jewelry, and all of this is present in both couture collections and ready-to-wear designs.
Sequins as an element of modern jewelry
Modern jewelry utilizes sequins and details inspired by their form as decorative elements, introducing lightness and movement to classic designs. Small, reflective discs are often sewn or embedded into metal, fabric, or resin, creating surfaces that respond to light and body movement. This gives the jewelry a three-dimensional feel, replacing static sparkle with a delicate interplay of reflections. Lighter materials such as aluminum, recycled metal, or biopolymers are often used for this purpose, achieving a luminous effect without the weight typical of traditional jewelry.
Sequin jewelry as a personal touch
Sometimes it's the smallest detail that gives an outfit its individual character. A personal touch distinguishes the wearer. It can be a subtle sparkle or a striking detail, but it always carries personal meaning: color, shape, memory. In jewelry, this motif takes the form of a small message captured in the detail. Sequins are increasingly becoming such a means of expression. Designers use them to infuse jewelry with light, rhythm, and emotion. Depending on the form, they can create nostalgic compositions inspired by the 1920s or 1970s, futuristic, with a metallic sheen and geometric lines, or artistic, where each sequin arrangement is unique.
How to combine sequin jewelry with other trends?
Sequins in jewelry work beautifully in a variety of aesthetics. All it takes is a little intuition and imagination:
-
quiet luxury – a delicate sequin choker to pair with a cashmere sweater or silk shirt;
-
athleisure – tiny micropaillette earrings paired with a sweatshirt and satin skirt;
-
denim-core – a belt or bag with a sequin detail for straight jeans;
-
new formal – geometric earrings or a sequined bracelet for a minimalist dress or suit.
Each of these combinations demonstrates how easily sequined jewelry adapts to a variety of styles. Simply choose the form and intensity of sparkle that best suits your daily routine and the occasion.
