How to style a sequin skirt
A sequin midi skirt is far easier to style than you might think - just look at Holly Willoughby, Alexa Chung and a host of street style influencers who wear theirs with knits.
The sequin skirt is the cool girl’s alternative to a traditional party dress, looking as stylish with a silky cami and heels as they do a chunky roll-knit jumper and hiking boots – wearable, affordable and universally flattering are just some of the reasons we love them so. Party time? Add a sheer blouse, satin tee or clashing sequins. Brunch calls for a hoodie or cable-knit sweater with sneakers and your sequin skirt, because life's too short to save those sequins for the dancefloor, and is anything more brilliant for a festival than a sequin skirt and crop top?
Anything that can be dressed up or down season upon season gets pride of place in our wardrobe. Trust us, the cost per wear will be pennies because you’ll be wearing it so often. The only downside of a sequin skirt? They go out of stock, and fast.
How we chose the best sequin skirts
I've shopped the high street for the best sequin skirts in stock. Or at least they are for now. Here's how I chose them:
- Price: There's no need to spend hundreds on a sequin skirt - some of the best are under £20, and they don't scrimp on quality or style either. I've found a range of prices, so there should be one to fit your budget. Many are on sale, making it a great time to buy one even if it's to store till the festive season.
- Style: You won't find any subtle embellishment in here. The sequin skirts here are as sparkly and full-on sequinned as is humanly (or high street) possible. The more sequins the better.
- Length: When I first think of a sequinned skirt, I think of the classic midi length. But a sequin mini skirt works just as well so I've included a variety of lengths into this edit.
- Colour: Gold and silver might seem standard sequin fodder, but it's worth considering sequinned skirts in brights, patterns and muted tones too. In this edit, you'll find a range of shades.

Arket Sequin Skirt
Editor's note: "Brown and sequins shouldn't technically work, but it does! I love that muted tones paired with glittery embellishment. A great one for those who want a more casual sequin skirt."
Karen Millen Sequin Skirt
Editor's note: "This bias-cut slip skirt is an elegant column fit, and features all-over silver embellishment. Looks great with a heel, but will work incredible with white sneakers and a hoodie too."
Sezane Sequin Skirt
Editor's note: "Sezane's golden sequin midi is as cool and luxe as you'd expect from the Parisian brand. Cut in a column silhouette, it features a slit at the back and hidden zip, and is available in sizes 6-18."

Editor's note: "The stripe sequin pattern makes this mini skirt unique. It's a risque fit with its slit, and the high waist makes it a comfortable style."

Whistles Sequin Skirt
Editor's note: "I can't believe how reduced this incredible skirt from Whistles is. It's such a pretty purple and blue tone, and flatteringly flares slightly at the hem. Something else I love? It's embellished with recycled sequins."
Karen Millen Sequin Skirt
Editor's note: "If green isn't your festive colour, make it red! Add a grey top for muting the Christmassy vibe and gold heels for extra sparkle."
