Discover our golden rules for wearing sequins and glitteras well as our pieces to shop urgently to own the shiny trend !

Fashion-vocabulary point: sequins vs. sequins

Let’s agree right away: sequins and sequins are two very different things!

So, yes, both sparkle and bring light and style to our looks, yes we love one as much as the other, but they shouldn’t be confused.

Spangle is a thin blade of shiny metalwhich is applied to a fabric to make it shine. The sequins are small discs of shiny metalsewn on a fabric.

The rendering is therefore very different depending on whether you opt for a sequined fabric or a sequined one.

Do not confuse either with metallic, lamé or even silky, which are other things. But we’ll talk about that later.

The golden rules to avoid fashion faux pas

Whether you opt for sequins or sequins, the golden rules are the same. We pay attention to it to avoid fashion faux pas.

One piece that shines

Unless you want to try a total mirror ball look with the glitter option, we choose a single shiny piece. It can be more or less strong, depending on your tastes and your desires: a dress, a blazer, a jumpsuit, a bag, a scarf, socks…

Anything is possible, as long as you use glitter sparingly.

Once your room has been chosen, be sure to combine it with sober and elegant things. For example, if you choose a short sequined skirt (very good choice), go for an XXL jumper in chunky black, gray or navy blue knits, opaque tights and a pair of square-heeled ankle boots. For the “outfit to go clubbing” version, you can swap your big sweater with a chic suit jacket.

Choose quality fabrics

As usual, we avoid the cheap at all costson pain of looking like a low-coast call-girl, which is rarely the desired effect. We respect the glitter.
