How to Choose a Sequin Skirt?

The first step to creating a casual sequin skirt outfit is to choose the right skirt. If you choose a floor-length skirt that is not only embellished with sequins but also has slits, your overall look will never be casual.

✨First, choose a sequin skirt in a solid color, especially a light color. As we all know, sequins emphasize the color of the skirt. So, if you choose a sequin skirt in burgundy, yellow or other bright colors, you will attract everyone's attention. To create a casual and understated outfit, a solid light color sequin skirt is a better choice.

✨Try to choose more common and ordinary styles, such as straight skirts. A tutu skirt decorated with lots of sequins will undoubtedly make you look like a princess. Fishtail skirts and pencil skirts will also add elegance to you, making you look like a star walking on the red carpet.

✨Avoid too long or too short skirts. A midi skirt with sequins is perhaps the most suitable choice for a casual outfit. Women rarely wear long skirts on informal occasions, you know, because they make it difficult for you to walk, and it is generally not worth the expense for more casual occasions. If you wear a mini skirt, your slender long legs will make your overall look more attractive, and it is not casual or relaxed at all.

✨Choose a skirt with smaller sequins. Large sequins are very eye-catching and can sparkle even with a little light around them. So choose skirts with smaller sequins if possible.

✨Also, remember to choose a skirt that doesn’t have such a high density of sequins. On a skirt with a low density of sequins, the sequins are a kind of decoration, which looks both simple and generous, retaining the highlights of the sequins without being too ostentatious. On the other hand, a skirt with a high density of sequins will look dazzling can not be casual at all.

✨The material of the sequins also matters. Some sequins are made of plastic, which is thinner and more flexible. Compared with heavy metal sequins, they are easier to create a relaxed and casual atmosphere.

What Tops to Wear to Show Casual Feeling?

Even if you're not pursuing a casual look, you still need to consider the balance when pairing your outfits, that is, not overdoing it with any decorative element. If your bottom is a sparkly skirt with lots of sequins, your top needs to be relatively subtle.

✨A hoodies or sweatshirt. The inherent dynamism of a hoodie or tracksuit will largely neutralize the gorgeousness of a sequin skirt. More importantly, it is better to choose a sweater or hoodie in the same or similar color as the sequin skirt, because contrasting colors can also show individuality to a great extent and attract more attention.

✨A T-shirt. In the hot summer, if you don’t know or don’t want to spend much time pondering what top to wear with a sequin skirt, don’t hesitate, just wear a basic white T-shirt! The basic white T-shirt may be the least noticeable item in your wardrobe because it has almost no characteristics. However, it is definitely a good helper in clothing matching because it can be perfectly combined with any other style of clothing regardless of its color or style.

✨A cardigan. To neutralize the flamboyance of a sequin skirt, an elegant and tender cardigan is also a good choice. In addition, a knitted cardigan can be worn as a thin outerwear, which not only brings you warmth in autumn and winter, but also adds a sense of layering to your look.

✨A crop top. A cropped top can show off your waistline, and when paired with a high waist sequin skirt, it can create a stylish yet casual effect and make your legs look longer easily. To emphasize on the casual sense, just choose a basic and solid color crop top.

✨A denim jacket. A versatile denim jacket is also useful for creating a casual look. A classic denim jacket is both tough and handsome. When paired with a sequin skirt, it can create a combination of hardness and softness, allowing you to appear casual yet capable.

How to Accessorize a Sequin Skirt in a Casual Way?

When choosing accessories for a casual look with a sequin skirt, the “less is more” principle also applies. But despite this, some accessories are still necessary to complement your look.

First of all, in terms of the choice of shoes, sneakers are a good choice. A hoodie, sweatshirt, sequin skirt and a pair of sneakers can easily create a popular street style. The contrast between sporty style and gorgeousness is created. To match with a white T-shirt and a sequin skirt, a pair of sandals is also acceptable. This outfit gives people a relaxed holiday feel.

Then let us talk about the choices of bags. The delicate clutches are more suitable for the evening events on grand occasions. While in the casual outfit, they will be out of place. For daily commuting or travelling, a tote bag with a large volume can be matched with a sequin skirt.

As for jewelry, actually, it is not necessary, whether it is a necklace, a bracelet or a pair of earrings. However, if you think your neckline will look empty without a necklace, you can choose a thin silver necklace or a necklace with a small pendant. Or, if you want to use earrings to frame your face, wear simple earrings instead of complicated ones.

Of course, you can also pair your sequin skirt with a hat. If you are really going on vacation, wearing a straw hat can not only protect you from the sun, but also further add a casual and cozy atmosphere. Or if you prefer the sporty style mentioned above, you can also pair it with a baseball cap.

You can also wear a belt to decorate your outfit. A thin belt can highlight your waistline and make your figure proportions more perfect. It is best to choose a belt that is close in color to the sequin skirt.

If you want to further enhance the elegant style, you can also wear a silk scarf. Silk scarves are light and highly decorative, and can be tied in a variety of ways to create different effects for your look.

Makeup Tips

After the top and accessories are in place, we still have one last step, which is makeup. How can we put on makeup to look casual but at the same time won’t make our charm be covered up by the gorgeous sequin dress?

Foundation is necessary, but it should not be too heavy. The skin's natural texture can be preserved. Therefore, you only need a thin layer of foundation to cover blemishes such as acne marks. Remember to set your makeup with set powder to help it last longer.

Don't make your eyebrows too heavy. The most important thing is to keep them neatly trimmed. Just use an eyebrow pencil to outline the shape of your eyebrows. Note that the color of the eyebrow pencil needs to be similar to that of your natural hair. If your hair is dark in color, such as black or dark brown, you can choose dark gray or dark brown eyebrow pencil or eyebrow powder; if your hair is light in color, such as blonde or brown, choose a light brown eyebrow pencil.

Earthy eyeshadow is the best choice for a casual look. But avoid smoky eyes. Smoky eyes can make your carefully groomed look too obvious. If you want to draw eyeliner, don't be too exaggerated. It's best to draw the inner eyeliner and slightly lengthen the end of the eye. Don't forget to curl your eyelashes. Then apply some mascara to your eyelashes. This is probably the easiest way to liven up your look.

You can also choose to use blush to make yourself look more energetic. Dip a certain amount of blush on the brush and gently apply it to your cheeks and blend it well. Don't apply too much blush or it will look tacky.

Finally let us come to the lipsticks. There is absolutely no need to choose a dark red lipstick. It is true that a dark red lipstick will make you look more powerful, but it is not suitable for a casual look. On the contrary, choose a lipstick in pink shade.

The entire makeup should be natural and clear, highlighting the texture of the skin and the natural beauty of the facial features, echoing the casual style of the sequin skirt, showing a simple and fashionable temperament.
