When it comes to holiday season, fancy soirées fill up your social calendar. Christmas trees won't be the only thing shimmering; one great sequin dress will be your go-to garb throughout the winter months.
1. Bow Sequins

No matter what their form is - on the back of a dress, on the toe of ballet flats, holding back curls - bows are fancy and feminine.
2. Metallic Sequins
If you want to shimmer from head to toe without wearing allover sequins, a metallic dress trimmed in sparkles is entirely chic. Also, how can you resist those embellished pockets? Perfection!
3. Neckline Sequins

A built-in beaded neckline is one of the most eye-catching - not to mention convenient - ways to bring bling. Go easy on the earrings and instead opt for a really ravishing cocktail ring.
4. Patterned Sequins

Last season the bon mot was the sequined stripe - big bold ribbons of color that were certainly noticeable but not necessarily flattering. This time around, look for swirls of floral, paisley, and hip honeycomb.
5. Peacock Sequins
Shopbop.com
The pattern of a peacock is one of the most naturally striking prints around. The Gossip Girls prefer wearing them in their hair, but Miss Serena would look stunning in these feather-inspired sequins (and you would, too!).
6. Longsleeve Sequins
Shopbop.com
Even though they make perfect sense in during the snowy winter weather, longsleeved dresses are often overlooked when it comes to formal frocks. A dash of sequins and an extra-short hemline makes sleeves look endlessly sassy.
7. Trim Sequins

An easy way to bring a little extra sparkle? Look for a touch of sequins along the trim of a dress. The subtle shimmer won't compete with seriously glamorous accessories, so those chandeliers you've been saving get the go-ahead.
