Couture: Glitter and Glam

Determining what to wear for a holiday event is a challenge many of us face each December. And finding something that is both chic and comfortable can be a challenge. Because holiday parties involve a lot of standing about, mixing and mingling, it’s important to be comfortable, but the holidays also call for a little extra fancy. And often, comfort and glam are mutually exclusive. 

Enter this sequin matching set. I was lucky enough to find this luxe pant and top set at Banana Republic. Made from a lightweight material, unlike many sequined pieces, this outfit doesn’t weigh you down. And this also makes it perfect for traveling to help keep your checked bag under 50 lbs. This outfit will travel well as it’s the kind of material that can be folded or rolled but come out of your suitcase looking wrinkle-free. Though this set is available in the easy go-to black, I loved the unexpected champagne shade. 

Ways to wear it:
Obviously the easiest way to wear it is both pieces together with a nude or black heel and some minimal jewelry. But I think you could also throw on a faux fur coat over the outfit with a velvet block heel for an extra glam look. To repurpose the pieces, I would also wear the pants with a white graphic tee and sneakers. For the sequin top, I would pop a navy or dark green blazer over my shoulders and wear a pair of dark skinny jeans with pointy toe stilettos. 

Where to buy: Banana Republic sequin camisole and pants.
