Sequinned Jeans

When former Gucci designer and a certified hottie, Tom Ford, made a sequinned pair of jeans for a cool $3,500 some years back, it was lapped up by none other than his ardent follower Gwyneth Paltrow. Once again, the embellished jean is back and is wooing fashionistas like never before, much like French Connection's embellished back pocket jean or the black cotton washed jeans from Balmain, with all-over Swarovski crystal embellishment.

Embellishments look good mainly on skinny jeans and warns that it shouldn't be over done though. "If one has slightly bigger hips, avoid the embellishments around the hip area.
They can use them on the bottom, near the ankle," she adds.

"To add a formal touch to your jeans, you can opt for embellishments. It adds the glamorous bling factor and makes your jeans very stylish and chic."

Despite the cost of Balmain jeans, which are ripped and hand-embellished for £1,000, there is no stopping celebrities who are rushing to grab their favourite pair, this season. "Embellishments on denims continue to evolve with designs and treatments. Metal hardware like studs, rivets and chunky zippers are being increasingly used to style the fashion denims. Craft elements including contrast fabric patches, lurex details and multicolour thread embroidery have become quite popular as denim embellishments among youth. These coupled with treatments on denims, like special washes have been used extensively by Wrangler. Moving beyond functionality, experiments with crystals on its girls' denims for party wear. At the retail level, these styles are highlighted by equally innovative hangtags, which are printed and cut using high precision lasers. And for those of you who can't do without the bling, Ed Hardy's jaguar embroidered and rhinestone-embellished jeans are just up your street.
