If you think sequins aren’t for you, think again — this season’s glitzy skirt is daytime-appropriate and fit for any holiday soiree. The key to making sparkles look cool (and not cheesy): Pair it with a casual tee, tank, or button-down and neutral heels.
Take Amanda Seyfried’s ensemble at the Givenchy fashion show in NYC. Her easy tank and lack of statement jewels allows the glitz of Givenchy’s fishtail silhouette to take center stage.
A more formal option: The mock neck top and Louis Vuitton skirt that Kate Hudson wore to the Serpentine Gallery in London.
But it’s not all solids and sequins. Tomboys will love the look on Kelly Ripa, who paired a flannel shirt with a pencil skirt by Malene Birger. For an even more casual vibe, swap the heels for flats or even sneakers.
