Review: Side Sequin Trim Top

Side Sequin Trim Top ($24.80)

Rating: Wear it forever (or at least till the beads fall off)

Fit: Amidst sequin overload, I discovered this beaded top that looked like it could easily have come from J. Crew, where embellished tees can cost you over $100. Unlike some of the tops I’ve tried at Michelle Obama’s favorite store, Forever 21’s polished beads were light enough that they didn’t weigh down the extremely soft shirt. I’m not promising the beads will stay on, but while they do, they look expensive.

Versatility: Since the shirt is so thin, I wouldn’t recommend wearing it tucked out over a pair of jeans. Luckily, it’s leggings season.

Trend Factor: Both gray and nude are in for fall—as are embellishments. But since the beadwork isn’t so in your face as other sequined tops, this one is more of a classic. Just something a little fancier than your average t-shirt.

Demographic: Everyone
