Once relegated to over-the-top&mdash;dare we say try-hard&mdash;status, sequins are suddenly everywhere. This season, the embellishment officially enters its nonchalant era, with <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/are-tech-nepo-babies-the-new-it-girls-phoebe-gates-eve-jobs-vivian-wilson">It girls</a> and tastemakers pairing their shiniest disk-adorned pieces with everything from lived-in <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/jung-kook-calvin-klein-denim-campaign-fall-winter-2025">denim</a> to classic ribbed <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/designer-tank-tops-every-budget-summer-2025">tanks</a>. No longer exclusive to nightlife or New Year&rsquo;s Eve, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/men-wearing-sequins-red-carpet-harry-styles-benson-boone-timothee-chalamet">sequins</a> are now considered a breezy, shimmery standard for brunch and the office alike.
As temperatures drop, sequins are staging a full-on takeover of the coziest knitwear on this season&rsquo;s runways. Designers embraced the interplay of sequined knits&rsquo; casual comfort and festive spark throughout their <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/fall-winter-2025-trends-styling-layering-paper-dolls-story">Fall/Winter 2025</a> collections, from <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/maria-grazia-chiuri-fendi-chief-creative-officer-announcement">Fendi&rsquo;s</a> self-aware take&mdash;featuring methodically placed paillettes cascading down the shoulders of polished cardigans&mdash;to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/brunello-cucinelli-fall-winter-2025-collection">Brunello Cucinelli&rsquo;s</a> minimalist-meets-maximalist approach, to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/tory-burch-spring-summer-2026-collection-runway-images">Tory Burch&rsquo;s</a> patterned interpretations.

Thoughtfully scattered across soft yarns and woven into gentle threads, sequins are infusing the most traditional finishes with a contemporary edge, all while keeping us snuggled up on chillier days. 
The juxtaposition of the glossy tiles against soft and warm fibers also just so happens to hit a textural sweet spot. Sure, the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/holiday-clothes-attire-embellished-beads-sequins">holidays</a> may be just around the corner, but there&rsquo;s no need to wait for a fancy soir&eacute;e when you can get your sparkle on right now.
