Sequins and Chunky Knits

Long thought of as the go-to choice for eveningwear, sequins get a fresh update when paired with chunky knits resulting in endless ways to style daytime looks.

Textured, cozy knits tone down high-voltage sequins and adds a casual-yet-cool vibe to any outfit.

ADAM's 2012 Resort collection mastered this look perfectly and showed how to balance the two elements  perfectly.

If you're ready to pair sequins with chunky knits, we'll show you how to incorporate these fabrics into your wardrobe for looks that go way beyond evening outings.


Acne's bright take on the chunky knit is oh-so-soft and will surely become a staple in your wardrobe come fall. When paired with Derek Lam's sequined cropped pants, the effect is chic and edgy. The sweater tones down the sequins significantly and makes this look office appropriate.

You can easily wear this look for a night out by adding a killer pair of heels. We're loving Reiss' multi-strap version with a pointy heel. Complete this look with a statement necklace and Loeffler Randall's Rider Bag for a ladylike touch.
