Even on Mondays, I'm partial to a touch of subtle sparkle (a diamond ring should cover it)... but at the weekend, I come over all Studio 54, ready to embrace spectacular shimmer from head-to-toe! If you fancy joining me, set aside that reliable little black dress and pull on your disco pants - it's time to turn every head in the room with this season's ultimate party attire: the sequinned trouser suit.
Easier to wear than you might think, wide legged pants and a loose fitting jacket give an air of relaxed glamour and are a personal favourite... I love how the sparkles catch the light as the fabric moves with my body. (Don't even think about avoiding the dance floor in an outfit like this!) I've been wearing the white suit by ASOS (see below), though have my eye on the striking pewter Exquise number from Blush Boutique in Belfast.
If suits aren't your bag, glimmering separates or jumpsuits are a great option, with the fringed sequinned trousers from Zara (below) a fabulous bargain at £25.99. At the other extreme, check out the glistening gold and black leopard 70s disco-inspired suit by Halpern with high rise, kick flare pants (yes the sale price is equally spectacular!).
Sequins as daywear are also de rigueur and, as ever, I'm all for maximising the price per wear. Pair sequinned trousers with chunky trainers, a loose knit and biker, or throw a glittering jacket over distressed faded jeans and cowboy boots.
If sparkles aren't your thing, opt for a more pared back look with a velvet or tuxedo trouser suit - check out these gorgeous designer and High Street looks from Paul Smith, Temperley, Boden and Next.
Whichever you choose, this will be a feel-good statement staple in your wardrobe for years to come!
