Here's how to carry off sports wear embelished with sparkle like a star

Sportswear moved out of the stadium, onto the ramp many seasons ago. Now, athleisure goes disco with a sprinkling of sequin

"Breaking away from the myth that sequins are meant for evening attire or cocktail parties, designers have embraced them for casual daywear to work wear too.

For its spring summer 2018 collection, Monse went all out with shiny separates such as this sequin fringe tank

An array of designers and brands like Ashish, Bottega Veneta, Giambattista Valli, No. 21, Alberta Feretti, Alice + Olivia, Gucci, Stella McCartney and Manish Arora have showcased a variety of sequined looks," says stylist and wardrobe consultant Delna Nallaseth.

Here's how to hit a six with this trend:
* Don't over layer: Your look should have a single focus. For instance, if you have a sequin jacket, don't pair it with a sequin bag and shoes. Keep it understated and easy on the eyes. Better to pair the jacket with simple denims, black trousers or even joggers.

* Make it fun and edgy: You can add some fun prints or graphic content to your look. Pair a graphic T-shirt or a sweatshirt with a shimmery pencil skirt or joggers and keep the rest monotone. Or even an oversized solid colour shirt with a sequin skirt.

Sequins don't always have to be paired with monotones, if you are in the mood to experiment, you can also try a chequered combination. Remember, always let there be one hero in your look, whether it's a sequin jacket, skirt, top or shoes. This holds true for both, a day and night look.

Designer speak
"Athleisure has seeped into our lifestyle. Not all young Indians hold 9-5 jobs anymore. Work and after-work seamlessly merge, and so, the day look slips into the evening look with ease, giving strength to this trend. That is why you see garments which were supposed to be worn for an occasion or meant to dress up your evening look, going well with pieces typically considered relaxed wear. So you will spot in-your-face or dressy versions of the style. Keep in mind the occasion and your own personal style before you structure your look. And evolve as you get better at it," explains fashion designer Pranav Misra of Huemn.
