**”6 Stylish and Affordable Sequin Tops Perfect for Every Event”**
You don’t have to spend a fortune to look stylish. Adding a bit of sparkle to your wardrobe with a sequin top or tee is an easy way to feel fabulous without breaking the bank.
Sequins, when used in moderation, are trendy—especially this season. However, finding chic and affordable sequin tops can be tricky. Many budget-friendly options tend to go overboard with sequins, creating an overwhelming look. You’ve probably come across one of those overly flashy tops on a store rack, and let’s be honest, it’s not the best look.
Let’s talk about how to style sequin tops and explore six stunning pieces that can add some flair to your wardrobe.
Sequin tops and dresses have long been associated with festive occasions like New Year’s Eve, but you don’t have to wait for a party to wear them. The key is to avoid an all-over sparkle. That’s why we’re focusing on sequin tops rather than full sequin dresses or pants. A touch of sequins is stylish—looking like a disco ball is not.
With the right styling, a sequin top can be perfect for dinner with the in-laws, happy hour with coworkers, or even a sports event (especially if you’re courtside at a Lakers game). The secret? Balance. If your top is fully sequined, keep the rest of your outfit, including makeup and accessories, understated. For example, a silver sequin top pairs well with dark gray trousers for a sophisticated look.
A top with subtle sequin details can be worn like any other top—just be mindful of accessories. If your top has sequins at the neckline, skip the necklace since the top already makes a statement. Pair it with jeans, skirts, shorts, or faux leather leggings, depending on the occasion.
One standout option is a flowy top with a sequined-trim neckline and loose sleeves. It’s dressy enough for a night out but elegant enough for an evening event. For a casual night out, pair it with taupe faux leather leggings and neutral heels. For a more refined look, swap the leggings for a slim skirt. Depending on your body shape, you might want to tuck it in or add a belt for definition.
Another great choice is a crew-neck sweater with sequined blouson sleeves. Its simple yet flattering shape makes it incredibly versatile. Wear it with jeans for a fun night out with friends or pair it with gray trousers and loafers for a stylish contrast.
For a flattering silhouette, a deep V-neck top with a criss-cross high waist is a great pick. The gentle flare skims your curves while concealing common problem areas. This top works best with form-fitting bottoms like skinny pants or a pencil skirt. Since it’s heavy on sequins, it’s ideal for nighttime events, though some wearers say it’s subtle enough for early evening occasions too.
If you prefer a more understated sparkle, a V-neck top with bell sleeves is a classy option. The subtle V-neck and 3/4 bell sleeves create an elegant contrast to the glittery fabric, ensuring you shine without going overboard. Made from a lightweight polyester-rayon blend, it’s comfortable enough for a night of dancing. Available in six colors, from pink to black, it’s a versatile addition to any wardrobe.
For a touch of romance, a pink lace peplum top with a high neckline is a stunning choice. The peplum shape is flattering, while the lace detailing adds elegance. Style it with a loose updo and soft makeup, and pair it with a fitted bottom and heels for a polished look.
If you’re ready to make a bold statement, a sparkly bodysuit with a plunging cowl neck and open back is the way to go. It’s designed to highlight your best features, making it perfect for a night out.
Sequins aren’t just for special occasions—you can wear them at any age and for any event. If you prefer a subtle approach, opt for tops with light sequin details. And if you’re looking to break out of a style rut, a bold sequin top paired with faux leather leggings is a fail-proof way to turn heads.
