As part of my Fall/Winter Evening Series, I’m adding this post on how to wear a sequin top or topper because they are look makers. And I surely wouldn’t do without my sequin t-shirt! Actually, I consider a sequin tee an essential wardrobe item for day, night and year round. It’s that versatile and so much fun!
Besides the t-shirt, I also own a couple of sequin tank tops, a couple of long-sleeve sequin tops and a sequin shirt. I use the t-shirt a lot. The long-sleeve tops are great for layering day or night, so they’re pretty useful. I reserve the shirt for evening wear, but it doubles as a jacket when left unbuttoned so I consider it worth having. It makes a sequin jacket or blazer unnecessary for my casual lifestyle. All these items do come in handy often enough for me to recommend them as part of an evening wardrobe.
Age doesn’t matter. Older is bolder, so go ahead and sparkle whenever you get the chance!
