Sequin attire at the office can be tricky. Normally associated with evening wear, sequins can look equally as amazing at work, as long as you keep a couple of tips in mind.

Sequins will make you feel THIS happy at work. We promise.

For day wear, any sequin clothing in muted shades and matte-finish sequins looks more understated. The shinier the sequins, the more suited they are for evening, in venues with lower lighting. Patterns are best kept simple or non-existent as color blocking gives a classier effect .

Wearing sequins doesn't mean abandoning all workplace decorum, so keep in mind the length of your sequin skirt, for example, is not shorter than whatever your office norms are.

But the biggest tip for sequins at work is to avoid a whole sequin dress, either short or long, and layer your sequin apparel as one part of an outfit--that way, if you accidentally throw on your blingiest nightclub piece in a pre-caffeine morning stupor, a smaller item minimizes any garish effect.

For similar reasons, limit the sequins to one item--a sequin skirt with a non-sequin blouse, or a sequined jacket with a dress made from regular fabric. One sequin piece is more than enough in general but especially for work.

Our final quick tip here (though you can read more about accessorizing sequins in our style guide) is to keep your shoes and other accessories simple. Avoid shoes and accessories with any sequins, beads or crystals on them.

Now relax and look fabulous. Actually don’t relax! Get to work. And if today is one of those interminable days with an evening event you just can’t get home to change for beforehand, congratulate yourself--one of the main benefits of wearing sequins to work is you can convert to evening wear without adding anything. In fact, you may want simply to remove one item, like a plain jacket, and let the sequins on a blouse or skirt do their work unimpeded.

And don’t worry that your sequins are not practical for work because it's difficult to have them cleaned. Many modern sequin items are able to be either hand washed or machine washed on a gentle cycle--just to check the tags and other manufacturers information before buying. (And if you do wash sequin clothing in the machine, use a laundry bag to prevent any loose sequins disappearing into the mechanics.)

If all that sounds pretty simple, and it is, but you’re stuck for ideas of what to wear to the office, here’s our curated selection of sequin skirts that will add some pizzazz to your working day--and your soul.
