HOW ASOSERS DO SEQUINS

Sequins are right up there with Mariah and chocolate for breakfast on our list of party-season highlights. Yep, whether you go for all-out shimmer in a sequined dress, dress down with a shiny sweater and skirt or just play it cool with accessories, it's the season to embrace the sparkle. Here are the sequin looks we’ve taken a shine to at ASOS HQ…

Drum roll… meet the party dress that takes things next level. Sequins? Yes please. Florals? Yup. Layers? Uh huh. The ruffles add some serious chic vibes while the black hat and chunky lace-up boots balance out the drama. Other dresses better recognize.

Well hello there, fresh alternative to the LBD. Layered over a casual gray tee, this shimmering green slip gives a neat nod to the '90s, while transforming you into a gorgeous sparkly party mermaid. Glitter tights and on-the-money faux-fur platforms complete the ultimate texture clash.

If your vibe is more minimalist Scandi cool than glittery holiday super-fan, you can still get in on the sequin trend. Big props to Converse for serving up these silver Chuck Taylors — possibly the shiniest sneakers ever to hit the dance-floor. Guaranteed to add sparkle to your running man.

How about these sequin pants for a twist on tailoring? Paired with an '80s-style slogan tee and classic checked blazer, they're the perfect party get-up if you're not feeling dresses this year. Slick leather loafers finish off the outfit perfectly.
