Shine bright! FEMAIL reveals why you should stop saving your sequins for evenings and celebratory events, and start rocking the over-the-top detail in broad daylight
- Most woman only wear sequins at night or to formal affairs
- Stars like Nicole Richie and Constance Zimmer effortlessly rock the over-the-top detail in the afternoon
- FEMAIL breaks down how to wear sequins any time, anywhere
While street style stars incorporate sequins into their everyday wardrobes like it's a basic white t-shirt, most ladies fear them and save the sparkly detail for evening, New Years Eve parties and Vegas jaunts.
But sequins can look amazing any time and anywhere when styled in a modern way.
FEMAIL shines a spotlight on four looks that will encourage you to bring your sequin garments into broad daylight.
Paired with denim

Nicole Richie offsets the glamour of her look-at-me top with a pair of distressed skinny blue jeans and pointy toe oxfords.
The mother of two carries out the effortlessly cool ensemble with barely-there makeup and a tight bun.
To cop her look, reach for a shimmery top that falls at the hip, a pair of medium wash blue jeans with significant slashes, and lace-up flats.

A model walked the runway of Sibling designed by Sid Bryan & Cozette McCreery wearing a long-sleeve blue sequin dress.
Paired with high heels, this glitzy number would make for the perfect cocktail dress, but teamed with graphic socks, brogues and a bulky necklace, it says street chic.
To get the runway look, ground a formal mini dress with sporty pieces like a varsity jacket and matching socks.

Sequins reflect light, so they automatically read "dressy". To prevent looking like a disco ball in the middle of the afternoon, follow the UnReal star's lead and pair a shimmery bottom with a casual, cotton t-shirt.
