There are two types of people in this world. Those who are now firmly in the festive swing and have been playing Mariah Carey since October and those who aren't quite there yet. If you've already got the party playlist on, you may be ready to embrace sequins in all their sparkly glory, but if you're sticking to a classic cold-weather wardrobe, you may need some gentle persuasion to embrace full-throttle sparkles. And this is where we come in. Sequin skirts have been making appearances on our Instagram feeds a lot lately, and we're unashamedly here for it. Wondering how to wear sequin-skirt outfits the cool way? Well, our advice is to follow the laid-back London look. Similar to wearing a dress with trainers or a suit with a T-shirt, wearing a sequin skirt with a casual chunky knit, a humble cardigan or a tank top is the way to style it this time around. Think Alexa Chung or Camille Charrière at a Christmas party—plenty of sparkle without a novelty knit in sight.

Ready to dive into our favourite relaxed sequin-skirt outfits? Keep scrolling for the skirts so good you'll want to take them as a plus-one to any daytime or after-dark event, and all the chicest ways to wear them.

1. SEQUIN SKIRT + CARDIGAN + GRAB BAG

Style Notes: The cardigan you bought in autumn is perfect for winter party outfits too—just add a long sequin skirt, heeled mules and a glitzy bag. Fitted cardigans make the perfect top, but oversized styles are just as good loosely tucked into the waistband of a glittery party number.

2. SEQUIN SKIRT + TURTLENECK JUMPER + BOOTS

Style Notes: If you were under the impression that you have to choose between sequins and cosy clothes, think again. There's an easy way to merge the two, and we like it a lot. To make sure all eyes are firmly on the glitzy skirt, keep it neutral up top and add a comfortable pair of heels that you'll last all night in.

3. SEQUIN MIDI SKIRT + WHITE T-SHIRT + HEELS

Style Notes: We've already gushed about how much we adore a skirt-and-jumper pairing, and our love for the high/low mix continues with jersey basics. Even a relaxed tee can be party-ready when paired with a statement skirt, and strappy heels make it the perfect dinner, Christmas or New Year's Eve look. Excuse us whilst we copy this immediately.

4. SEQUIN SKIRT + SEQUIN TOP

Style Notes: A two-piece somehow feels less in-your-face than a sequin dress, so for those worried about about head-to-toe sparkle, you can also break up this pretty co-ord into separates and wear each with denim or tailoring.

5. SEQUIN MINISKIRT + T-SHIRT + FLAT BOOTS

Style Notes: Add a biker jacket and you've instantly got a rock-and-roll vibe, but swap a classic band tee for something a little more luxe, and it's dressy and winter-appropriate—especially with chunky Chelsea boots

6. SEQUIN SKIRT + WHITE SHIRT

Style Notes: When you've got work at 9 a.m. and cocktails at 9 p.m., this "work on top, party on the bottom" look proves just how adaptable a sequin skirt can be. Want to make it more daytime-ready? Switch the heels for a pair of luxury suede ballet flats and continue the party.
