Yay or Nay?: Sequin Shorts

Posted by Alexandra C. | Monday November 21, 201194 comments

I haven't ever been quiet about my love for glitter here. This is the first time however, that I have questioned my love

Here's the question- would you wear sequinned shorts? 


(from top left) Tibi Sequin Shorts (US$285.00), Patrizia Pepe Sequin Shorts (C$145.00), Robbi and Nicki Snakeskin Sequin Shorts (C$263.23)

In theory, I love them- they're fun, sparkly, cute and look great with tights underneath. Here's something no one ever tells you about sequins though- when they dig in or if you brush up against someone, it hurts! Would the constant rubbing and itchy scratchy-ness cause sequin burned thighs? 

Besides practicality, does a flashy and sparkly bum draw too much bad attention? Is it way too over the top (i.e. O.T.T.)?

Let's be real though- glitter is almost always O.T.T., it's in it's nature and we love it anyways, so why not? 

What do you think of sequin shorts? Would you wear any of these? Are they a Yay or Nay? Leave us a comment by November 27th for a chance to win

I am going to say NAY on the shorts but if we are talking sequined skorts, now that might not be too bad!

I am a nay-sayer. I wouldn't wear this myself. However, I would admire the courage of other women wearing it!

Definitely a NAY, it's not my style! I think only a select few would ever be able to pull these off.

NAY! I would not wear these a little to much bling in areas I don't need it.

Only good for the 20 something crowd or clubbing. If you're over 45 like me you can't show off your legs like that. If you're young I say go for it. If you're older I'd think twice.

Nay- I some some in a store and they look wrong, too costume-y . A sequined skirt would be better.
