Sequin Trend 2018
From floor-skimming dazzlers to shimmering pouch-bags
sequin trend 2018
Gone are the days when 'hygge' and 'Scandi' dominated style sections; replaced with the likes of 'colourful', 'clashing' and – in this case – 'sequinned'. Whether it's Alessandro Michele's Gucci effect, or just the cyclical nature of trends coming into play (we're looking at you, 80's disco era), maximalism is most definitely in..
From floor-skimming dazzlers to shimmering pouch-bags, sequins are enjoying an almighty – and versatile – comeback. They may have been reserved for cocktail parties and festivals in times past, but now they're becoming accepted as night, day and even work-wear.
