Sequins always seem to be in for the holiday season. But, if you pull out your favorite embellished ensemble too early, you're met with raised eyebrows and quizzical looks. It's easy to get carried away embracing the holiday spirit — tinsel will do that to you.

Or, find a metallic handbag that stands out against an all-black outfit, so that your muted fall aesthetic always has a bit of glitz. See how five Instagrammers tone down to sparkle, without losing their shine.
