Sequins have dulled a little since New Years Eve and the ubiquitous plaid shirt is tired, uninspired and nearing retirement. So what to do if you’ve a wardrobe full of sparkle and check? Fusion. It’s the only answer. In this instance, the look is Sequin Cowboy. Grab your shiniest, sequin dress, wrap a plaid shirt around it, seal with a studded belt and some well-trodden ankle boots and embrace the glamorous cowboy in y’all.
Nobody likes to retire anything in their wardrobe, so if there is an opportunity to revive a trusted item of clothing, embrace it with both hands. The effortless practicality and comfort of the plaid shirt has been a testament to its durability; however it’s most definitely time to shake up the shirt a bit. And the poor, fair-weather sequin: everyone wants to be friends with the sequin for special occasions – parties, birthdays, celebrations – but she’s dumped unceremoniously at the back of the wardrobe during the ‘off’ season. More love for the sequin I say.
By mixing and matching these two great trends, sequins get to see the light of day and the plaid shirt gets a fashion facelift. Take this outfit to lunch! Take it shopping! Take it to the cinema! To an art exhibition! Shower it with love and kisses and you can have it for life.
