One rule for sequins

Pick one shine. Full sequins want plain shoes and almost no jewellery; fringe on the shoulders wants the rest of the outfit in matt crepe. The liquid sequin suit is the exception that proves it: it is all one shine, so it reads as a single piece. Split it up and wear the jacket with the Black Crepe Pintuck Flared Pant for dinner.
