Spring Fashion Trends 2010: Sequins

Sequins reappeared on the runways for Spring 2010 proving yet again that the trend toward sartorial bling is here to stay, recession or not. But in light of the way designers have been rethinking this shiny adornment for day, night and day-to-night, it should come as no surprise: Sequins can still be luxe, as seen on Lanvin's Paris runways, and sequins can still shimmer on cocktail dresses—albeit the quite unconventional party frocks presented on the models at Miu Miu. But sequins can increasingly come to be equated with day, as illustrated by a very wearable 3.1 Phillip Lim collection which included sequin embellished tops, skirts and a standout sequin blazer. So the choice is yours, celebrate spring with some sparkles in quantities big and small, because you are going to see a lot of them in stores!

I used to avoid sequins like the plague. But I think like any "trend" it can be done in a classy way.. in moderation! I bought an adorable charcoal gray cropped shrug/cardigan and it has black sequins on the front, it's not too much and looks great for a nice dinner with a black top underneath. My pet peeve is when I see girls wearing a trend from head to toe! LOL Ok, I am getting off my soapbox now:P

I like sequins as much as the next girl, ok probably more, but these looks are a bit of a sequin overload for me. Ahh!

Bring on the sequins! Not much of my thing, but I love this look on the runway. So glamorous!

Sequin was going strong in '05 and '06. Cool that they brought it back more along the lines of apparel this time instead of accessories.
