Plus Size Sequin Tops
From LoveToKnow Plussize
If you're looking for the perfect club wear to dance the night away in or an embellished top that will go well with a special occasion skirt, plus size sequin tops are a full-figured woman's solution on what to wear.
Different Levels of Sparkle
Not all sequin tops are covered in sequins and worthy of a Las Vegas revue. If this is your style, however, there are tops out there that fit the bill. If you want something a little more understated, you can opt for shirts that have sequin accents, either around the neckline or down the center. It's a matter of personal preference and a great deal depends on where you'll wear the shirt.
Sequins come in all colors and the luminescent nature of them makes them sparkly. From silver to blue to purple, you'll find sequins to match a variety of outfits. Silver and black are obvious choices for nighttime, but don't rule out other colors if you have a favorite.
How to Wear Plus Size Sequin Tops
Sequin tops are best reserved for nighttime. If you like going to nightclubs or you have a dressy event to attend, then these blouses are a great way to add some sparkle to your outfit. Depending on where you go, you can dress it down or up. Try these suggestions for plus size sequin tops the next time you want to make a statement:
- For clubbing: For most women, going to nightclubs is the best time to wear all the flashy, sexy attire they can't get away with during the day. Nothing says flashy like sequins, so if you love the sparkle that only a sequin top can provide, then go all out. A compatible bottom would be dark, straight leg jeans in a close fit (this is where a little spandex in the fabric makes all the difference!). Add a funky pair of metallic high-heeled sandals or pumps and your outfit is complete. You can also try a denim mini-skirt and chunky platform sandals.
- For cocktail parties: Velvet slacks or skirts are a wonderful way to accessorize your sequin top. Black is the most common velvet color and would work well with a silver or black blouse. Make sure you look at all your options, though. A bronze sequin top pairs well with chocolate brown slacks or a velvet skirt with a long slit up the side. Your evening shoes can match your slacks or your top – the choice is yours, just so long as your entire ensemble is compatible.
- The right accessories: Sequin tops make a statement all their own. Because they are so dramatic and brilliant, the rest of your look should be simple. You don't want huge pieces of jewelry competing with your top, so smaller accessories are the best complements to such attention grabbing shirts. Keep your slacks or skirts subdued and your handbag relatively plain. A metallic pair of shoes won't hurt, however. Because your shoes and top are not close to one another, they don't really compete.
Buying Sequin Tops for Plus Size Women
These tops may not be available year-round and will probably be easier to find in department stores when special occasion clothing is out. You can try online options such as:
- eVogues carries a sequin top with flattering details like a V-neck , ruching and detail down the center of the shirt, all of which are great for elongating and slimming.
- Sears has a sequin-accented tunic top in a variety of colors that would pair well with jeans.
Enjoy the Night
Whether you're going to a club to dance all night long or you're attending an after-five event that calls for hors d'oeuvres and champagne, a sequin top is a simple and elegant way to add festive flair to your ensemble. Enjoy this blouse, which isn't for all day or every day, but is perfect for those times you get to dress up and have fun.
