Party season is practically here and that means it’s almost time to break out the metallics.
The advantage of this particular trend is that metallics can be adjusted to suit everyone.
Perhaps you advocate understated elegance or you might be the ultimate shimmer queen, whatever your taste the metallic trend can be adjusted to suit your look.
There are numerous options for this particular look; going all out in a metallic dress for a big night out is always a popular option but a metallic tee and skinny jeans is casual chic at its very best.
Boyfriend jeans, stilettos and a metallic t-shirt will have you looking as if you stepped straight from the pages of a magazine and the good news is there really isn’t much effort to made.
This look speaks for itself so by carefully choosing key metallic pieces, your wardrobe is easily brought up to speed.
Like many style trends, the old adage ‘less is more’ can be applied here. To avoid overkill stick to one metallic piece and as you become more comfortable with the look you can gradually up the ante.
Fashion bibles and catwalk shows have amplified this trend by featuring metallic on metallic.
Now we’re not suggesting for one minute that you go out and buy the metallic trousers pictured and pair it with a similar tee-shirt and shiny courts.
However, teaming the Topshop skirt with the subtle shimmer with a metallic tee and black stilettos is a masterclass in metallic styling.
The black offsets the look and prevents it from becoming too loud while the subtle skirt complements the statement tee.
Don’t make the classic mistake of over accessorising with this trend and if you’re a little conscious about catching the metallic fever then just tip your toe in with a shimmery clutch bag.
Have a flick through the gallery above to see what metallic piece you will be rocking this winter…
