Washing Sequin Pants: 5 Tips to Prevent Damage

Sequin pants are a popular choice for a sparkly look, but maintaining them can be a challenge. Washing sequin pants requires care and attention to prevent damage. Here are five valuable tips to ensure your sparkly outfit stays in tip-top condition.

Washing sequin outfit

Read the washing label

Before washing your sequin pants, it is important to consult the care label. Manufacturers provide specific instructions that are tailored to the materials used. Follow these guidelines carefully to ensure the longevity of your pants.

Hand wash preferred

Whenever possible, choose hand washing over machine washing. Fill a sink with cold water and a mild detergent . Soak the pants for a few minutes and rinse thoroughly to protect sequins from wear.


When cleaning, it is important to avoid rubbing or scrubbing the fabric. This can cause sequins to come loose. Move gently and use a soft sponge for extra care.

Do not tumble dry

Never dry your sequin pants in the dryer. The heat can damage or melt the sequins. Hang the pants flat to dry on a clean, dry towel to keep their shape.


Save Correctly

After washing, it is essential to store your sequin pants properly. Avoid rolling them up and instead hang them on a hanger. This prevents the sequins from rubbing or getting damaged.



By following the right washing instructions, you can ensure that your outfit always looks its best, even after the holidays. Remember to check the care labels, prepare your clothes properly, choose the right wash cycle and consider alternatives to washing if necessary. With these tips, you will be well equipped to maintain your Christmas outfit, so that you can shine during, and after, the holidays!
