A:

Standout sequins in muted shades of nude are very of the moment this holiday season. They are a sultry take on subtle and can be styled two ways for maximum holiday style.

When it comes to what color shoes to wear with dressy neutrals…

Stay on the more demure or safer side by keeping the look tonal and sophisticated with shoes in same shade. Make it exciting by adding texture and detail for interest. What you want to be sure of is that what you do wear with your sequins doesn’t compete with it or becomes the dreaded matchy-matchy. A voluptuous embellishment on a pair of mocha satin slingbacks, or strappy metallic sandals would do the trick.
