Whether you’re visiting the iconic Rockefeller Center Christmas tree in NYC or driving through your neighborhood at night to admire the glow of holiday lights, there’s a certain magic in the air this time of year. And while the season dazzles in its own right, nothing quite matches the festive spirit like sequins. Yes, sequins—those shimmering, joy-filled embellishments that grace skirts, dresses, jackets, handbags, and even shoes are having a major moment.

With the holiday season in full swing, from corporate celebrations to cozy Christmas gatherings and New Year’s Eve parties on the horizon, everyone is pulling out their chicest ensembles. However, we’re looking to insiders for our inspiration, and right now they’re demonstrating that sequin pieces are the way to go. Think expensive-looking silhouettes like sequin pencil skirts paired with oversize sweaters or sequin minidresses layered with sheer tights. If you need visuals for how the style set is elevating and refreshing this classic holiday texture for winter, keep scrolling.

Styling a silver sequin skirt in 2025 can be tricky because it’s very easy to make it look “dated.” Instead of focusing on how it can appear that way, one way to keep it feeling fresh this winter is to pair it with a brown jacket rather than an expected black one, and finish the look with one of this year’s top shoe trends: closed-toe wedge mules.
