Ask Petite Chou - Are sequins still in for spring/summer?

March 12th, 2008

Hey Ma Petite Chou,

Love your blog as always! I was spring cleaning my closet the other day and I just thought of something. I don’t know if I’m among the majority or minority here, but I love sequin dresses and tops. I acquired quite a few pieces over the past season. I’m just wondering if they are still in for spring and summer.

Awww thank you darling. Hmm…that is a good question. I’m going to open the floor up to everybody here. What do you think? My personal feeling is obviously sequin pieces are not for everybody, it totally depends on the garment and the personality to go with it. I definitely think you can still wear sequins into the spring, however, they are probably need a bit of updating from the heavy colors and materials that we were used to seeing in the winter season, otherwise you might end up looking too “festival” ’cause they were such a big hit for the holidays. I’m thinking for the warm weather the sequins themselves should show a more subtle shine and the colors should probably lighten up a bit. That’s why I’m loving this OMBRE PAILETTE SHEATH DRESS by MaxStudio ($448). The ombre hues from light green to light yellow are so refreshing, like a tall glass of lemonade. And the sequins are very delicate and not loud at all.

Alice + Olivia Sequin Ombre Dress Another sequin dress that I love is this Alice + Olivia Sequin Ombre Dress ($484). The color is perfect for a summer party.
