Sequins slip into daylight with new subtlety ; worn over cotton, paired with denim, and styled like second nature. What once belonged to evening now feels effortless and undone, proof that a little shimmer belongs as much to morning light as it does to midnight.
BLACK DIAMOND STYLE
Daytime sequins…
Designers are softening sequins with a new sense of ease. Matte finishes, tonal palettes, and fluid draping replace high-shine glamour, giving sparkle a more effortless feel. From relaxed tailoring to knitwear with subtle shimmer, sequins now move naturally through the day less statement, more everyday radiance.
