We’re all aware the festive season is approaching which only means one thing: parties, parties (mince pies) and more parties. Sequins are one trend that always resurfaces this time of year (not that we’re complaining). Sequins were omnipresent on the A/W 09 catwalks and can be found glistening all over designer shops and the UK high street. And the great thing about them is that they can easily be translated to day wear.
This week, we’ll show you how to add a bit of sparkle to your evening wear with sequined waistcoats.
