How to wear an embellished skirt

Plain on top. A black knit, a white shirt and a silk blouse all work. For the full Zuhair Murad look, wear the skirt with the Embroidered Top in Black and Silver.

By day. A sequin midi with a chunky knit and a flat boot is the easiest way in.

For black tie. Only floor length meets the dress code; see the black tie dress code for women.

Frequently asked questions

What is an embellished skirt?

A skirt decorated with something applied to the cloth: sequins, crystals, beads and paillettes.

What top goes with a sequin skirt?

A plain one, in knit, silk and cotton, so the skirt leads.

Can you wear a sequin skirt in the day?

Yes, at midi length with a knit and a flat shoe.

How do you store an embellished skirt?

Flat in tissue, since the weight of the beads can stretch it on a hanger.

Is an embellished maxi skirt black tie?

Yes, at floor length with an evening top.
