Alice + Olivia Drea Sequined Cotton Knit Shrug

I just got one of these and if no one noticed, I would wear it every day. I didn’t get the sequin, mine is a black knit but now that I know the versatility I am definitely getting this for evening. You put on your fab cocktail dress and you dare not muss it up with a bulky coat but it’s 40 degrees outside! What to do? Voila, sequin shrug. This does not cut you off at the waist the way a bolero does, the hem just gets out of the way and shows off what’s underneath with nary a whisper. It will not keep you cozy but you do what you can. On more temperate evenings, it is exactly what you need. And not just for dresses, anything goes here – the easiest way to dress up jeans and tee. At Net-a-Porter for $325.

  1. This is beautiful!! What a great way to jazz up something simple (like the picture) or wear it with an evening or cocktail dress when it gets a bit chilly. Thanks for posting!

  2. I bought this for a wedding and ended up returning it. It is very heavy and the sizing is way off. I got a S and I would probably need an XXS for it to hang correctly on me. The back was covering my butt! It looks good on the model, but I could not get it to fall that way on me.

  3. I totally forgot I had this in pale gold until I saw your entry (can hubby be right? I have too much clothes?!) It was on sale last season, check shopbop, they may have more. I love mine and wear it often.
