READ: Accessories - size matters, and it's small
There's a fine line between cute and corny when it comes to this trend, make sure your outfits are not too busy with too much colour or accessories but keep it to the minimal with solid colours and simple accessories.

The sequins trend- sparkly and colourful sequins decorating skirts, dresses and even pants are hot right now.
For those who are not afraid to stand-out, match your sequins to a basic, classic or generally very easy piece of clothing with quirky t-shirts and clashing textures such as denim or leather.
