It's that time again ladies. Winter is coming. However, just because it's getting a little chilly outside does not mean we put the skirts away! The sequin skirt is in style right now. This look can be done up for a perfect holiday party or subdued by a casual top and tights. Most typically seen around December and January, shimmering skirts are the greatest transition piece into fall and all throughout the winter months.
So how does one wear the shimmer skirt without going to a New Years soiree? It's simple! You can pair your sequin skirt with a casual sweater or cotton top with boots and a scarf to down play the shine. Your top should be plain in pattern and without any glitter. A blouse and heels or flats can make this item transition from day to night and look dynamite during all hours. You can accessorize with a clutch, sunglasses or jewelry accordingly. These skirts also look darling with a cardigan or blazer. Don't be afraid to wear a vest or jean shirt for the warmer months!
Gold is the most popular sequin color for this trend. Its warm tones and versatile matching abilities make this option a great staple to have in your closet. Gold can go with grey, white and black tops alike. Be sure to accessorize with gold or rose gold jewelry because wearing this skirt is like wearing a big statement gem! Gold styles an be worn plain or with crazy patterns and beading on the skirt. You can wear a more interesting top if you stick to the solids but the patterns are definitely attention grabbers. Victoria Secret and Express both sell items like the ones above.
The most popular jackets to wear with this style skirt are a fitted black leather jacket or a blazer. The sequin skirt looks far more professional with tights and a jacket over them. With the right accessories, tights, and sweater or button down shirt this look can even achieve work place standards. For outside the office but still having the need to dress to impress, these skirts look great with dark lather and tights. Higher waist lines or pencil sequin skirts are the style you want for these looks.
If gold isn't your color, never fear, this style comes in an array of colors! Silver and black are other staple colors for this usually winter fashion. Other shades, like pink and purple, have burst on the scene to spice up this trend. The more vibrant colors show that this trend is not just reserved for winter. Although the sequin skirts still lend themselves to plainer tops, the pop of color really makes your outfit stand out. If you find a pink shimmer skirt, pick up some rose gold jewelry to go along with your ensemble.
Are you more of a print person and are feeling bored with the simple shine? That's fine! Tribal inspired prints are hot for this style. The triangles and zig zags give your outfit that twist you may desire. The greatest thing about these styles is that you get to select which color to match in the pattern. Choose one color in the print and wear on top accordingly. Who says you have to stick to white, black or grey? Prices can range from $275 in All Saints to only $60 from Express stores!

Indian throw inspired prints are also darling on these detailed glimmering minis.
