Style Tips To Not Look Tacky in A Sequin Dress
If you are reading this blog, you want to look sophisticated, expensive and classy in general. And sometimes when you look at a sequin dress, it does not feel like that. And I agree with it 100%. Here are some ways you can ensure that your sequin dress outfit look polished and not cheap and tacky:
- Ensure that you pick a dress that flatters your body type. You don’t need to wear a cut out dress if it does not suit you. You can pick a full sleeve one that’s modest yet looks fun.
- Pick minimal jewelry. You don’t need to skip chandelier earrings or embellished ones. But make sure you stick to one bold jewelry piece and its almost always a statement earrings. Whether your neckline allows for a statement necklace, don;t wear it. Focus on a fun earring. This will elevate your look.
- Pick accessories and outerwear that are not glittery. So go for a faux fur black coat or jacket to balance the glitter of the dress. And pick a black or leather evening bag that looks chic but is not flashy. This balances your outfit.
