In fact, for more daily occasions such as commuting and shopping, a black sequins dress is also fine, as long as you don't choose those particularly flashy styles. For daily life, you can choose a black sequin dress in a simple style and only with a small range of sequins to show your fashion taste.

Which Type of Black Sequin Dress Is More Suitable for You?

There are so many styles of black sequin dresses that can not be taken all in by your eyes. How can you choose the black sequin dress that suits you best? What factors should be considered?

First, let’s continue with the previous section and discuss what different styles of black sequin dresses are suitable for different occasions. For grander occasions such as high-end banquets and cocktail parties, of course the more gorgeous and beautiful the dress is, the better the effect will be. You can choose a slit dress, a suspender dress, a hip-hugging or a fishtail dress that can fully show off your beautiful figure curves. But for daily commuting, these fancy styles seem a bit exaggerated. For daily occasions, a simple and loose style is more suitable. For grander occasions, you can choose a dress with large sequin coverage, even one fully covered by the sequins. But for daily occasions, you probably need to choose a dress with smaller sequin coverage, such as just a little decoration at the neckline or waist.

Your figure shape also plays a decisive role in the choice of your black sequins dress. For example, a long dress is not suitable for a petite lady. Instead, choose a mini dress to visually lengthen your legs. Hip-hugging dresses are not very tolerant of figure shapes. Either the hips are too plump or too flat, it is difficult to achieve a good effect. But for ladies with perfect figures, such a hip-hugging black sequins dress can really enhance your feminine charm. For ladies with inverted triangular figure shape, try a black bubble sequins dress to modify your figure proportion.

At the same time, don’t overlook the importance of fabrics! Although it is difficult to directly see the texture of the fabric of the dress under the cover of sequins, the texture of the fabric directly affects the comfort of wearing. Common fabrics suitable for black sequins dresses include silk, chiffon, lace, etc. Silk fabric is smooth and soft, having a good drape, and can show a noble temperament; chiffon is light and elegant, suitable for creating a romantic style.

What Accessories to Wear with a Black Sequins Dress?

Whether you're going to create a formal or casual look with a black sequins dress, accessories are essential.

For a gorgeous outfit on grand occasions, a pair of high heels is necessary to magnify your aura. In terms of color, black high heels are the most versatile, which can echo the color of the dress and lengthen the leg lines visually. If you want to add some highlights to your outfit, you can also choose a pair of high heels in bright colors such as red and gold to create an eye-catching effect. But for a casual or daily occasion, you can pay more attention to comfort. In the summer, opt for a pair of soft-soled sandals, while in the winter you can go for a pair of long boots.

If your black sequined dress has a V-neck, then you can choose a necklace as jewelry. Long earrings can modify the face shape. Therefore, if your face lines are more angular, you can choose to wear a pair of long pendant earrings to distract others’ attention from your face with it. To create a more upscale look, you can either choose a thin chain bracelet or wear a gold or silver watch instead.

A small clutch is a common choice to match with a black sequins dress. When you don't need to carry a lot of things, even for commuting, you can choose a delicate small clutch to match with your black sequins dress. For a daily look, a shoulder bag is also an acceptable choice.

For a loose-fitting black sequins dress, why not choose a black leather belt? It can help you highlight your waistline, optimize your figure proportions, and thus enhance the fashion sense of the outfit.

Finally, don’t forget a piece of shawl. When it is cooler, a shawl or scarf can keep you warm and add a touch of style. For a black sequins dress, you can choose a silk shawl to create an elegant atmosphere.
Please note that a black sequins dress is already very eye-catching itself. So it does not tolerate other excessive glossy and shiny decorative elements. Buckles, rivets, bows, appliques and rhinestones are all not allowed!

Makeup Ideas for Your Black Sequins Dress Outfits

Now you have chosen a black sequins dress that suits you best and matched it with accessories. But! Your task is not over yet. Especially if you are going to attend a grand occasion, you still need a decent makeup!

The key of the makeup for attending grand occasions is to be bright and elegant. No matter what type of makeup you would like to wear, a clear and flawless foundation is the most critical step. First use a nourishing primer to moisturize your skin, then choose a light foundation and apply it evenly on your face. For facial blemishes, such as dark circles, acne marks, etc., you can use concealer to cover them. Finally, use powder to set the makeup and make the foundation more durable. Earth-colored eye makeup is the best match for a black sequins dress. Apply brown eyeshadow on the eyelids first, then draw eyeliner along the root of the eyelashes, and elongate the tail of the eyeliner upward to form a cat-eye shape. Applying false eyelashes can make your eyes look brighter. But if you don't want to apply false eyelashes, curling your eyelashes and evenly applying mascara can also achieve a similar effect. For formal occasions such as a high-end banquet, it is appropriate to use bright red lipstick to enhance your aura and show your sexy charm. In order to better match the sequins dress, you can also put some sequins on your face to make your makeup more shiny and eye-catching.

For the makeup on casual occasions, the focus is on clarity and naturalness. The general steps of foundation makeup could remain the same, but the eye and lip makeup can be lighter. For daily occasions, you can choose a bean paste color or nude pink lipstick, which looks gentle but not too ostentatious. The eye shadow is preferably light brown or champagne. The eyeliner can be slightly extended at the end of the eye, but not too exaggerated.
