You're in good hands with this one, folks: I'm basically 75% woman, 25% magpie. If you ask me, the #1 one thing to wear to a holiday event or (even the more intimate gatherings we're having this year) is jeans and a sequin top with an amazing pair of heels or flats. It's an easy yet festive outfit formula you can wear year after year. Retailers will soon be stocked full of chic sparkly tops for this exact purpose, and since the whole '80s "extra" look is so big this season (love it or hate it), the selection is particularly plentiful. Whether you have a Zara budget or a designer one, you're in luck with this roundup, which I'll admit to having a great time putting together. My only hope is that you have as much fun wearing your chosen sequin holiday top as I did shopping for them. Keep scrolling to shop your new festive holiday season staple.
