Sequin Shorts: Show Your Shimmer

After last week's positive feedback from the glittering skirt coverage, the sequel has now arrived! Sequin shorts are popping up on the scene for casual day wear and evening looks. Shorts can be high waisted or low cut with either fitted or loose legs. The length of your shorts can vary depending on your shape and leg length. Short shorts may elongate legs while looser, longer shorts may cover wider thighs for fuller figured girls. The colors and quality of sequins is completely up to you!

Gold is the trendiest color for this style and is perfect for Fall! You can match the shorts with gold accessories or gold makeup (see our gold eyeshadow tutorial on our Beauty Tips and Trends tab). You can wear darker hues for evening time and light sparkling gold for a fun daytime outfit. The shorts look great over stockings and tights for the colder days.

The closer New Years Eve approaches, the more popular this item will be! Glimmering silver is also an adorable version of this trend. You can wear your silver in more unique ways than gold because the color seems to pop with different sewing patterns.You can go with a striped or polka dot look that is very appropriate for Fall fashions or you can mix it up with swirls and scallops for a more daring look. You can wear this look with a blouse and heels or casual shirt and boots for a day to night ensemble.

For those of you that are crazy about color, don't fret just yet! Other colors are available in the sequin short if you do your due shopping diligence. Green is the most popular off kilter color for the sequin short. This style can be mixed and matched with either gold or silver accenting and is super flirty for the season. You can wear this item to a Christmas holiday party or on just a casual Friday.

Patterns have been all the rage this Fall and sequin shorts are getting in on the action. This is an undoubtedly more causal look but is very versatile. Wear these shorts with a tank for hotter days or a slouchy sweater for the transitional weather this month.
