If you’re a fan of the funkier and spunkier things in life, you might be curious about some sequin shirt dress style ideas.
These are too cute, and I love them especially for social holidays when I’m dressing in something a little more out there and sparkly than usual.
A good shirt dress is always the move and I just love wearing a style that feels a little more festive.
If you’ve got your eye on one or if you’ve already purchased and are looking to figure out how you want to wear it, you’ve come to the right place.
Somewhere that I feel like a sequin shirt dress really thrives is the carnival. As I’m deep into the carnival outfit and fair season this year and looking forward to the holiday season, all I want to wear right now is a sparkly shirt dress to every event!

Sequin Shirt Dress Style Ideas
The shirt dresses are taking over, and you need to know how to style it! There are some really fun ways to throw these together, and based on you being interested in this look, I would bet to say you’re looking for something fun.
1. Trench Coat
Throwing a trench coat over the shirt dress really makes it a little bit classier while staying casual.
2. Button Down
This one’s a little less casual since it’s more of a button down shirt, and styled with a hat and boots makes it too cute and country!
3. Keep It Neutral
Neutral and monochromatic lets the sequins do the talking.
4. Birthday
Let everyone know you’re celebrating you today! And then shimmer and shine in the spotlight.
5. Tailgating
Tailgate season comes up quicker than you think. I love this dress with the curly pony and big sunglasses. Perfect for football games!
6. Booties
The booties make it something loose and low-key into something cute and dressed up.
7. Sparkling Shoes
Keep the theme going with the sparkly shoes.
8. Western Belt
Western style belts make everything bland really come together.
9. Rainbow Birthday
Add some crazy colors to the already spunky shirt dress!
10. Clear Heels
Clear heels go with everything, especially something with this much pizazz.
11. Blacked Out
Fully blacked out brings it back down to something a little more elevated.
Styling Sequins
Sequins are loud and proud, no matter what kind of outfit you have them in. Styling them can be a challenge to make it cohesive without being too loud.
11. Simple Sandals
I love the sandals with the midi length of the dress.
12. Simple Styling
Focus on a chunky earring or loosely curled hair to let the shirt really be loud and proud.
13. Cheers!
Set the mood and be ready to cheers everyone you come in contact with wearing it.
14. Sneakers
I love pairing something boxy with a sneaker. It’s pulling the style differences together and it all works too.
15. Pumps
Wearing a classic pointed toe pump with it makes the boxy figure more flattering. Elongating your legs is the ideal route to make it flatter your body type.
15. Platform Sandals
The platform sandals will also do the job making your legs look longer.
16. Street Style
Something in this art style doesn’t always translate as girly or feminine, but with the sequins, it makes your street style something new and fresh.
17. Fringe
If you’re pulling for something a little more dramatic like a festival, bachelorette, or birthday outing, this is the one.
18. Boots
A big tall boot can compliment the coloring of the dress and really complete the outfit.
19. Neutral Clutch
A neutral clutch is the perfect purse option. It dresses it up while not adding anything else too crazy to it.
Party Shimmer Style Outfits

The oversized sequins are so fun!
21. Strappy Heel
The nude heel really lets the dress do the talking.
22. Matching Metallic Boots
This styling really takes the look to the next level!
23. Sheer
I love this sheer version for a spicy version of this trend.
24. Keep It Extra
Style it all of the way with all of the extra accessories. Feathers, red tights, and platform heels. It’s the drama, it’s the edge, and the embracing of all of the crazy details.
25. Leather Boots And Jackets
The leather jacket on top gives an iconic rock star energy.

The accent color in the shoe brings it to life if you’re not adding more sparkle and shine.

The pearly sheen on the iridescent shoes and clutch works so well with the shine.

31. Boots And Belt
Belt it and add a boot and she’s ready for a party!
Styling Tips
No more sparkles! While more is more sometimes, adding more sparkle, shine, or sequins can be a bit too much and take away from the stunning shirt dress.
These are a pretty southern and girly look, so keeping to that theme with a pair of cowboy boots or ballet flats are ideal shoe pairings with a top just like this. Sneakers are a cool look to add some contrast too.
I would keep it simple with accessories. And by that I mean: yes! Accessorize! But don’t do anything oversized or flashy.
What’s The Difference Between A Dress & Shirt Dress?
This post is a focusing on the shirt dresses covered in sequins, but what’s the difference between the sequin shirt dresses or sequin dresses?

Something so preppy and southern inspired like a sparkly shirt dress deserves all the fun styling you can manage. While the dress really does say it all, keep the vibes going throughout the whole look with these styling ideas.
