Sequin Jackets Galore

Miss SOS has scoured the high street to bring you the best in the latest trend for sequin jackets and blazers, whatever your budget!

Don't shy away from this fabulous look for autumn/winter, these beauties are sure to add some fun and style into any look and yes, day or night! Sequins are hitting the big time this season!
All the usual suspects are showcasing Sequin Blazers and Sequin Jackets in their latest collections, with prices ranging anywhere from £40 (think Dotty Ps; New Look) to £180 (Arrogant Cat; asos.com).
Depending on your budget and how much you think you will wear this gorgeous piece (cost per wear!) we advise going for a slightly cheaper option, as it is likely to be a one-hit wonder for this season. We're keeping our eyes peeled for the Primark version to land and be sure to be front of the queue when it does, it won't be sticking around for long!
Miss SOS recommends.....
Gorgeous draped sequin blazer (from arrogantcat.com, around £180) - a stylish and chic take on this latest trend and great for slimming down your curves, as the drapes will cut the torso and ensure you look fabulous! Wear over a bright colour vest top with skinnies and kiler platforms for an evening look to turn heads!



Snake-print sequin blazer - combining animal print with sequins, go for this version if you love to make a statement. Keep accessories and other pieces in the outfit simple and minimalistic and let the blazer do the talking (arrogantcat.com around £80). Great for taller ladies, as the longer length will make your legs look shorter if you haven't got the height.



The Sequin Trophy Jacket (topshop.com around £80) - a great choice if you don't want to go for the blazer look and ideal for a sophisticated, older look. Team with skinny jeans or high-waisted wide leg jeans and heels for a funky, sophisticated look.

Miss SOS' favourite, a welcome alternative to the black and silver versions out there, the cream sequins will work with so many colours and looks. The draped effect keeps it easy-luxe, easy-to-wear and less formal than the traditional blazer styles. Throw this on over dresses, with jeans and you'll be rocking the autumn/winter trend straight away! (topshop.com around £70)



Miss SOS top tips to pull off the Sequin Jacket:

- Keep the rest of the look simple, the look should focus on the jacket

- Don't overload with accessories, let the sequins be your accessory!

- Dress the jacket down, so that you don't go into bling overload

- The ideal partners are skinny jeans, killer platforms and a clutch bag

- This jacket is not just for evening, bring the sequins into the day for an instant fashion hit!
