You've seen all of your style icons do it (everyone from Olivia Palermo to Susie Bubble to Tamu McPherson): bravely wearing sequins during the daytime like it's no big deal. But we at InStyle understand that it could feel a little cooky. Evening attire? When the sun is out? 

The trend of casually wearing sequins is not for the faint of heart, but to ease you into the idea of testing it out, we've come up with four complete outfits that are totally manageable for even the timid dresser.

So for all you introverts out there, scroll through and shop. You, too, can wear sequins with the best of them.
