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 wouldn't do it myself but they can be cute if worn with tights and the right top! But I really only think they work in the bootie short version like the Tibi pair. The other ones are awkward...

Yay.......I would definitely wear them especially during Christmas and New Years. I'm sure they're easy to style up with some cool tights or legging, an understated top and some wicked shoes or boots.
I'm totally up for it!!!!

NAY. Not personally my taste. I'm not much for sequins, but they would be cute on someone else for a holiday party in tights, pumps etc.

For me personally, it's Nay....but if you've got courage to wear them, go for it!

I know they're just a bit gaudy and tacky but.... I'd still wear them. I can't help it- I'm addicted to the glitter!
