Glitter Outfits for Women: Sequins, Disco and Evening Looks

You wear a glitter outfit subtly in everyday life, with a piece with a fine glitter effect such as wide pants or a mesh top, and in the evening with sequins, for example as a top, skort or dress. For a disco outfit, you combine a sequin top with a simple bottom and boots.

Glitter does not have to wait for New Year’s Eve. One shimmering piece is enough as long as the rest of the outfit stays calm. The article shows when you wear which kind of glitter, what a disco outfit with a sequin top looks like, which shoes and jackets go with it and how three looks are put together.

Glitter in everyday life or in the evening: what suits when?

Glitter is not just glitter. Sequins are small, mostly round discs that are sewn onto the fabric and reflect light. Glitter is also created by shimmering threads or effect yarns in the fabric. This gives you three levels, from quiet to eye-catching.

• Subtle for the day: pieces with a fine glitter effect, such as wide pants or ribbed jersey pants with glitter threads. The shimmer is quiet and goes with a sweater, cardigan and boots.
• Light for the evening: glitter mesh as a blouse, skirt or long-sleeved top. You wear the transparent material as a layer over a top or bralette.
• Eye-catching for dancing: sequins as a top, skort or dress. Here the shine is the main piece, and the rest stays calm.

This guide is about glitter in everyday life and in the evening. For the turn of the year, there is our guide New Year’s Eve outfits for women, and for parties and clubs our guide Party outfits for women.

Disco outfit for women: how to wear a sequin top

A disco outfit is built on a shiny top and a simple bottom you can dance in. The top is the eye-catcher, while pants, skirt and shoes stay calm.

Sequin blouse with bows. You can find it in the shop in black and brown, with decorative bow details. Simple black pants or a skort go with it. All styles are in the glitter and sequin tops.

Glitter mesh blouse and long-sleeved top. The mesh is transparent and has fine glitter accents. You wear it over a top or bralette, with jeans or black pants. The blouses come in black, brown and burgundy, the long-sleeved top in black.

Skort or shorts. A skort looks like a skirt from the outside but has built-in shorts on the inside. It wears like a pair of shorts and is therefore suited to evenings with a dance floor. The glitter skort with sequins comes in black, brown, burgundy and silver, plus sequin shorts in black and brown. You can find a selection among the skorts.

Sequin dress. If you only want to wear one piece, choose a sequin dress, in the shop in black and as a glitter dress in brown with a bow at the back. You can find the styles among the sequin dresses.

Which shoes and which jacket go with glitter?

Shoes. Matte shoes in black or brown go with sequins. Chunky boots give a shiny piece a casual contrast, and ankle boots are the calmer partner. Choose shoes you can stand and dance in for a long time.

• Ankle boots: Ankle boots in a suede look have a small heel and go with pants, skirt and dress. You can find a selection among the ankle boots.
• Boots: Boots with a zip and chunky sole or biker boots give shorts, skort and dress a casual accent, for example with tights. You can find styles among the boots.

Jacket. Over sequins, it is best to wear a jacket without any shine of its own, so that the top or dress stays visible. A short light jacket, a blouson or a blazer in black, brown or gray goes with most looks. In winter, a coat or a winter jacket goes over the top. If you want some shine in your jacket too, you will find a blazer with a fine glitter effect and lace details in gray and brown among the Glitter & Sequins.

Which colors go with glitter and sequins?

Black, brown and bordeaux are calm partners and are easy to combine. Silver goes with black, gray and white and looks a little cooler. Warm shades go with brown and cream.

How much shine can an outfit take?

As a rule of thumb: one shiny piece per outfit. If you wear sequins on top, pants, shoes and jacket stay matte. A fine shimmer, for example in wide pants with a glitter effect, can be combined with a simple sweater.

Which bag and jewelry go with glitter?

A plain, matte bag in black or brown keeps the look calm. For jewelry, small earrings or a fine necklace are enough. If the outfit already shines a lot, you can leave the jewelry out altogether.

Three glitter outfits

Disco look. Black sequin blouse with bows, black pants or skort, lace-up boots and a short jacket for the way there. The eye-catcher is the top, and everything else stays black.

Glitter in everyday life. Wide pants with a glitter effect in black or beige, plus a plain sweater, ankle boots and a light jacket. The shimmer sits in the pants, and the top half stays calm.

Evening look. Glitter blazer in gray with lace details over a black top and black pants, plus ankle boots. The shine sits in the jacket, and the rest stays matte.
