1. Pair Sequins with Velvet
What kind of pants do you wear with a sequin top? Black dress pants are a good start since black is a stunning backdrop for anything sparkly.
Silk, satin, knit, and faux leather pants are popular, but one of the most festive and expensive-looking combos is sequins + velvet pants.
The wide leg on these beautiful black velvet pants makes them feel special. They’re sophisticated and comfy, the perfect complement to this rich burgundy sequin wrap top.
See how it shapes your waist, hides your tummy, and highlights your decolletage beautifully?
2. Mix Denim and Sequins
Some holiday parties are more relaxed and low-key, like when your neighbor asks you to stop by for a Christmas cocktail on a Saturday afternoon.
Jeans work anytime, anywhere, and pairing them with a pop of sequins is quite chic.
This sporty silver sequin top is perfect for that. Wear it with your favorite jeans, crystal flats, a silver bag, and sparkly hoops.
This is a great casual holiday party look with some razzle-dazzle.
3. Wear a Trendy Sequin Shirt
Sequin trends come and go; the latest is the sequin button-up shirt. This beautiful rose gold shirt is a little oversized and long, like a tunic. The highly low hem makes it perfect to wear with leggings.
You can also pair it with leather or faux leather pants, giving it a grit and glam vibe that’s edgy and youthful.

Hi Deborah:
My ma used to wear sequins and anything that sparkled during the holidays. I would secretly laugh, thinking you don’t need to make yourself look any more ridiculous than you already are at your age. Now I’m that age, and guess who wants to sparkle? Family get-togethers are the only thing left for me, and I want to shine. I still love to preen a bit and wear something glittery and eye-catching. It is fun and makes me happy. Aging is such a humbling experience. I’m glad we saved it for last.
Caught your elegant moments video. You did it with such poise.
Happy New Year to all.
Hi Sheryll, That’s a funny story! All I can say is SHINE ON, glam gal. I love a little sparkle too! Cheers, Deb
Personally, what is working for me at age 69 is flannel leggings with long tops and boots with flat heels. I just bought a sweater dress which I love. I also added a shawl to my wardrobe. I am slowly purchasing long necklaces and scarves. I s an excellent look for seniors aging backward—I el young without trying too hard. I le your website.
Hi Sylvia, Seniors Aging Backwards! That sounds like an excellent name for a website (LOL) Glad to hear these ideas are helping and you are feeling good!

Can you tell me where you found those fabulous plus-size dresses on your NYE blog?
Hi Debi, They are from Nordstroms. They have a superb selection of Plus size dresses on their website.
These are great tips! I was thinking about what to wear on New Year’s Eve. I tend to be a little young for my age {I think}. Sometimes it’s OK, and sometimes I look back and think, oh boy, what was I thinking? LOL. I purchased something the other day and thought perhaps it is too young for my age {46}
I am enjoying your tips and blog. Merry Christmas to you.
Hi Debbie,
You are adorable! I love your vibrant energy, and your new hairstyle is just FAB!! You are a great example of how to stay youthful and current! Thanks for introducing yourself to the group!! Merry Christmas to you!!
