Q: I have a silver sequin dress that cuts just above the knee, has a racer back and shoulder-width sleeves/straps. Is there a way for me to wear this look a casual day outfit?
-Barbara Kerr
A: Forget the old rules about saving sequins for night. Shimmering metallics instantly breathe life into everyday basics and can totally be worn for day – whether at the office or running errands on the weekend.
The easiest way to give your sporty silver tank dress a casual spin is with lots of layering. Sequins look fabulous with earthy pairings such as white cotton tanks, crinkled khakis, and lightweight wool or cashmere cardies. Remember to avoid wearing bold prints or contrasting colors - sequins are attention grabbing enough
For example, you can see how well this Prada dress would work with just a basic whisper-thin tank layered underneath or a long cardigan or blazer worn overtop and cinched with a wide belt. |
