Summer Sequins Trend 2019 | 39 Sparkly Items to Shop

Scroll To See More Images

For too long, we’ve collectively restricted our sparkliest ensembles for special occasions. Sequins are for birthdays, holidays and New Year’s Eves only; they are never to see the light of day, and certainly not to see the light of night unless that night is designated as some kind of Big Deal. But this summer’s sequin trend is throwing a wrench into everything we thought we knew about sparkles, about propriety, about life.

As of summer 2019, everyday sequins are not only acceptable—they’re veritably trendy. Summer sparkles have pervaded designer collections and fast-fashion stores, alike. And they’re poised to pervade our closets, too. No longer must we closet our extra AF sartorial selves 362 days each year. We’re now invited—nay, encouraged—to unleash them on the daily. Summer sequins are here, baby. And it’s time we all shone as bright as the summer sun.

But summer is about saturation, vibrance, color, you say. And sequins are typically rendered in some kind of neutral! You’re not wrong. Except that, just as summer is upending sequin wear paradigms, it’s upending sequin clothing paradigms, too. Summer 2019’s trendiest sequin pieces are as bright as its matte ones. They’re also as dynamic. Sequin fringe is on the menu—so are sequin ruffles and sequin-covered floral prints. Call to mind any piece you’ve been eyeing this summer, and odds are, it’s now available in a veritably sparkly iteration.

A wise woman once said, “Shine bright like a diamond.” And summer 2019 is making it easier than ever to heed her suggestion.
