Pinterest has officially confirmed what we already guessed from our social feeds: 2017 is the year of the sequin. The platform has seen an uptick in interest in the search term “sparkly jackets,” specifically—it’s up 229% from last year, meaning that a whole lot of people are hoping to don a statement coat with some extra shine (and KiraKira it) this season. There’s a fine line, however, between incorporating shimmer into your day-to-day look and veering into full disco ball territory. Street style has paved the shimmery way for us, though, and proved us with plenty of inspiration to ensure we strike that balance between shiny and chic. You can try unexpected colors like baby pink and lime green, or go for subtlety with sequin trimming along the collar or sleeves. As for the styling? Keeping it casual is the way to go—just look to Chriselle Lim, Olivia Palermo, and co. for guidance on how to play your jeans all the way up with an all-over embellished topper. See how the street-style set does it and shop the Pinterest-favorite trend, below.
