With Halloween and Firework Night out of the way, we're starting to think about all the best sequin dresses to wear this winter – and it looks as though we're in good company. According to Google trends, searches for Christmas party dresses are UP, so it's official: sparkly season is back and bigger than ever.
Deciding what to wear endless nights out on the trot can be daunting, we know, but a sequin dress (or three) is a sure-fire winner. Despite the fact they'll easily be the most impactful item in your wardrobe, they're actually very low-maintenance. They can be easily slipped on with a pair of strappy sandals sans very much thought at all. Yep: the best sequin dresses are guaranteed to achieve an all-eyes-on-you effect without you having to put hours of work in, which is exactly what you want. Let's face it: there's nothing better than looking good and feeling confident while knowing the outfit didn't require much thought at all.
Plenty of designers have tapped into the maximalist approach to dressing recently, with Retrofête, RIXO, and AllSaints all showcasing runways heavy on the glitz and glamour for the new season. In fact, AllSaints' latest collection is literally titled ‘The Stars Are Out’ for obvious reasons, while Mango's recent collaboration with Jen Ceballos contains several sequin-embellished frocks. And if you're worrying about sequin dresses being a one-hit-wonder, fret not. They're not just for Christmas, rather, a mainstay that deserve to be part of your regular wardrobe rotation. Take this Sabina Musayev Juliette dress from Free People, for example. While you can don it at several festive events this winter, you can also re-wear it throughout the summer thanks to its mini length and looser fit. All that's needed is a pair of sparkly heels, a clutch bag, and some jewellery to boot.
