Sequin pants? I need to figure out how to make them more sparkly.

Random pixels of white? Or maybe white + signs?

Ah, that metallic sheen!
Good texture anyway

I tried a few different things but it's not working out very well. But I don't know what I'm doing either.

I wonder... perhaps a bokeh effect overlay?

my go-to when i need scattered texture patterns and i'm not getting the results i want is to make a layer of noise

layer of noise, went in and selected swatches of pixels to delete (selected at about 10% so i wasn't doing shades individually) until i was left with a scatter i was happy with, painted it all white, then set to overlay

Huh. That’s interesting. And cool.

that's the basis i use for several textures in my personal art

noise + motion/radial blur at long stroke settings is my go-to for baseline wood grain, too. obv adjusted as needed for differing levels of contrast and CURVITUDE

What about burls and stuff?

the process differs depending on the intended effect. the baseline version is good when i just need a gentle texture for, say, smooth, high quality lumber derived furniture. if it needs a lot of intimate details like knots and things, i go for a shorter stroke and use it as a guideline for making my own lines, so a level of randomness that i can't get on my own is still there.

an example where the quick method is adequate:

doesn't need the details you're talking about because it's an already subtly grained wood that's been well refined into its current state

Hmm, okay. That’s pretty cool.

So sequins aren't impossible!! *____*

...Oh no :|

You know you want rainbow sequins

I’d be amused to see them pixeled, but I’d never wear it.

Never say never!
What if it's an... avatar contest or something.
Or a 'dress like mdom' day
