Summer sequins
THIS trend may seem bonkers, but bear with me. A bit of moodenhancing sparkle in the form of a shirt, shoes or an unexpected bag (though not all at the same time) is now deemed entirely permissible for daywear.
In addition to making your look style- relevant, sequins reflect light and, as the angles of our face get harsher, we need all the soft, diffused light we can get.
Caution: to do this properly, you have to appreciate good-taste fun, not see it as an excuse to dive into blingtastic brashness. Wear said sequin item with your wardrobe’s most quiet and minimal pieces.
Uterque sequined ankle boots will elevate a pair of black, tailored trousers. Ditto, Zara’s striped sparkling camisole, peeking out of a black silk shirt.
Have cropped silver hair? Buy the fuchsia drop earrings by Baublebar Floretta (£55, wear with a soft, grey sweater.
