10 Ways To Style A Sequinned Vintage Jacket
10 Ways To Style A Sequinned Vintage Jacket
There are loads of amazing vintage sequinned jackets out there just waiting to be worn again. The 80’s were full of them.
Erase your preconceived ideas about this type of jacket. It can easily be updated to fit in with a contemporary vibe.
I was so excited when I found this one, the sequins, design and colours were too good to pass up despite the waist erasing boxy cut. For a person with an hour glass figure this is the worst shape for my body type but I’m up for a challenge. I was sure I could make it work.
My original idea was to just let the jacket shine (literally) and then keep everything else low key.
My first try…
It didn’t turn out as cool as I’d hoped.
Probably because in my mind I’m about three inches taller, have much thinner legs and no hips.
Funny how my mind keeps reverting back to what I looked like when I was twelve.
Nevermind.
I got serious about it and tried again.
I told you I put my serious face on.
Here I am trying it with darker jeans and more attitude.
I’m telling myself,
“Put your game face on, “look tall” and suck it all in.”
If you know a trick how to suck in your thighs I’m all ears.
I prefer my sitting photos. Much more relaxed.
Still not 100% thrilled.
What about switching out the shoes to something extra elongating?
Yawn.
Boring!
My original efforts were lacklustre to say the least.
Let’s try again shall we?
10 Ways To Style A Sequinned Vintage Jacket
After recently writing about more is more with Gucci inspired style I was ready to try again.
This time I didn’t focus on the jacket but created entire outfits that challenged my imagination.
I mixed a variety of textures, patterns and colours.
Ideally I wanted to pair this with my gold pussy bow blouse but I spent 45 minutes looking for it today and came up empty.
Someone came into my house in the middle of the night when I was sleeping, went into my bedroom closet and stole it!
Either that or I’m losing my mind. Let’s go with the first idea. Totally plausible and has nothing whatsoever to do with my aging brain.
Which outfit was your favourite?
If you liked this vintage sequinned jacket I have another one listed currently in my Etsy store by Joseph Ribkoff. It would be loads of fun to style as well.

I’ve fallen head over heels in love with everything Gucci since the new creative director Alessandro Michele came on board in 2015. He has a very unique sense of quirky vintage style.
“The way you dress is really the way you feel, the way you live, what you read, your choices.” – Alessandro Michele
Many of his designs are based on vintage pieces from his own personal collection.
Vintage is reborn!
Break All The Rules
Mixing prints, over-embellishing pieces, clashing colours everything goes in Alessandro’s eclectic visions. There is no wrong way to put together an outfit.
It’s fantastic!
Freedom to create, freedom to play, freedom to be.
Let your imagination take you to places you’ve never been.
That’s what having fun with fashion is all about.
That is where thrifting comes in.
Any avid thrifter will tell you they don’t go thrifting with a set goal in mind. You have to be zen about the whole experience. Be open to what you find that day. You may find something totally weird and unusual, that’s a good thing! It stretches your mind. It is an opportunity to imagine new possibilities. The more colours in your crayon box the more options you have.
It is fascinating when I purchase items that speak to my heart they somehow magically work together.
Given that there are no rules you can combine and wear whatever you want, no matter your age. Confidence is the only accessory required.
Choosing how to dress yourself is active play for grown ups.
Here are some other Gucci inspired looks I’ve created in the past.
There are some other fabulous thrift and vintage loving bloggers out there that also have a bit of a fab Gucci vibe to their outfits that I’d like to share with you today.
What’s stopping you from creating your own DIY thrifted vintage Gucci inspired look?
Linking up with Fancy Friday.
