When you think “sequined party dress,” your mind probably goes to holiday dressing. That’s certainly the most obvious occasion to wear such a festive garment. But a piece so special (and straight-up fun to wear) shouldn’t be reserved exclusively for nighttime wear, nor should it only be broken out a few weeks out of the year. Following that line of reasoning, we’ve seen a new trend emerge, featuring what is perhaps the most over-the-top riff on the style—rainbow striped sequins—worn year-round, at all hours of the day.

Designers like Manish, Ashish, and Halpern have paved the sparkly way for this trend on the runway, with their inventive, playful use of sequins across collections. We’ve then seen that inclination for all-glitter-everything distilled by the likes of Tanya Taylor, Sara Battaglia, and Attico on the contemporary front into more streamlined casual wear—think sleek striped slips, disco-inspired long-sleeved minis, and robe-like maxis. Whether worn under a puffer with black tights (as Anna dello Russo demonstrated at Paris Fashion Week last March) or over a black turtleneck, the rainbow-striped sequined dress could be the most cheery addition to your 2018 wardrobe. Willing to give this trend a shot? Check out some of our favorite pieces, below.
