Sequin Cocktail Dress
Do you like to keep up with the latest fashion trends? If so, you may have heard that wearing a Sequin to a cocktail party is almost unheard of. In 2007 the hint of a new trend seemed to be developing, and in 2008 it seems to be still going strong.
Of course, if your goal is to stay at the cutting edge of this trend then you need to know the ins and outs for the year. Here is what we have found:
Colors To Look Out For
- Royal Lilac- bluish purple with a hint of red
- Blue Iris- calm toned bluish purple
- Caribbean Blue- tropical shade of blue
- Twilight Blue- slightly lighter than navy
Bolder is better
If you love to make a statement when you walk into a room, then you’ll love the color selections for 2008. Gold, silver, blue, or purple are all preferred choices for sequin dresses. It’s best to choose a mid-thigh length for a cocktail party. While gold and silver may not be considered main colors of the year, stores have been stocking them in large quantities, and they’ve been flying off the shelves.
New York’s Fashion Week stated that blue would be a hit in the first half of the year, followed by purple in the fall.
Can Anyone Wear a Sequin Dress?
A sequin dress stands out in any color and draws a lot of attention. Be prepared for attention, compliments, and admiring glances! If you prefer to blend in without all the attention, then perhaps a sequin dress is not for you.
Solids or Prints?
Before deciding on a solid or print, consider what type of accessories you’d like to wear. If you choose a printed sequin dress then you should downplay your accessories. A solid allows you to flaunt louder, more interesting accessories.
For an alternative to the full sequin dress style, BCBG, Saks, and many top designers offer sequin trimmed dresses. A sequin trimmed dress adds a touch of flair and fun to a dress or outfit though it’s not as loud as the full sequin.
The trimming gives a sense of elegance and glamour to an outfit. Formal and Semi-Formal parties are the perfect events to flaunt your new outfit. Keep in mind that 2008 is shaping up to embrace bold and glamorous styles, so enjoy the opportunity to have fun with the new and exciting styles and colors.
