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

Nay. I wouldn't want too much attention on me like that now. I would have probably worn it if I was 18 though since I was fearless and careless about what other people think about my appearance. I still have that inner "bling diva" in me still so maybe I will wear something like this when I'm really in the festive mood to show off my shiny bottom :p

Yay!!! I love sparkly things! They would have to be the right cut though. I think short shorts...like the ones on the top left of the picture. With tights they would be amazing. Definitly

Nay! Holiday Season Sequins = Yay but not like this! In my opinion shorts should not be worn in winter (not in Canada anyway) and personally I feel its just too much glitz for one garment!

Unless you're under 18 or work for the circus, there is no reason a fashionable woman should be caught dead wearing glitter like THAT.

Sequins, can be fun in moderation. An entire garment, unless you're doing a live on stage performance in Las Vegas, is completely over the top.

NAY.

I like the IDEA of them, but they'd show off all my lumps and bumps... :( I also have sensitive thighs - anything rubbing against them is bad news.
