It takes a certain panache or “je ne sais quoi” to pull off the perfect holiday look and make it look effortless. Offering a great twist to this season’s biggest trend of glitz and glamour, Lane Bryant highlights a fab look of sequins mixed with the comfort of stylish tops – perfect for any fashion forward woman with curves!

One of the hottest looks this season for its figure-flattering fit, the Lane Bryant version of the peplum features a sassy scoop neckline, short sleeves and a comfortable knit back. Go full-on fabulous and dress it up or down when you pair it with a pencil skirt or skinny denim and a hot pair of heels.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
Not into the peplum trend, don’t worry – even a little sequins on a classic tee screams holiday celebration! Designed for those who loves to shine, Lane Bryant’s spectacular sequin tee lights up the room! Detailed with raw edge trim at the flattering scoop neckline and short sleeves. This chic top is your go-to choice for holiday parties, date night or any time you want to stand out.

Looking for a less disco-ball and more peek-a-boo sparkle? This fun-loving top with maximum sparkle, cami glows with mini paillette sequins. This comfortable knit cami flatters any shape with a ruched V-neck and adjustable straps for a perfect fit. An easy way to add instant glam to layered looks or simply pair with jeans for stand-out shine!
