ah. Suspect sequins are one of those things that you can only get away with in your teens or 20s.

I really want to be able to wear a sequin jacket in that "shrunken" look, flung on casually over a skinny jeans and a t-shirt.

BUT I just know that I will catch sight of myself and think "Jane MacDonald does mutton" rather than "Kate Moss does Balmain"

It runs the risk of looking a bit like a shrug IMO being cropped.. A proper jacket length would be better

Seriously though, sequins = ageing gameshow host about town.

If that is the look you are channelling, I wish you well.
