Using sequined garments in conjunction with tailored and other daytime
pieces has emerged as a strong trend over recent seasons, seen both on the
runways, as well on the streets during international fashion weeks. It’s a
look that reflects consumer interest in technology and futurism, and is a
wearable style that traverses the seasons.
The challenge with using sequins is that they are often created using
materials that are petroleum-based and can pollute aquatic ecosystems and
landfill for years. Earlier this year, Stella McCartney showcased a sustainable
alternative. She used plant-based cellulose that is plastic-free,
biodegradable and non-toxic for a sequined jumpsuit. Hopefully other brands
will also explore creating sequins from ecologically sound materials such
as recycled plastics.
Here are recent examples of how to use sequins in a daytime look.
