What Are We Wearing?

The metallic trend is on fire this season, Ssparking tons of beautiful inspiration for separates, dresses, coats, and accessories. But metallics aren’t just about sparkle and shine; you can style this magnetic trend many ways, from subtle hints of shine to stunning statement pieces. Metallics are a lot of fun to wear and style. You can work with them as neutrals like a shiny silver with denim or as a pop of color and texture with a shiny red heel with a black cocktail dress. The possibilities are endless; here are some ways I’m working with this trend.

Accessories

Shoes, bags, and chunky jewelry are a great way to experiment with the metallic trend without overpowering your entire look. A chic silver pump or pink bag paired with a classic denim look is modern and fresh. Carry over your metallic accessories and use them as accents on a monochromatic look, like all black with a pink metallic bag or a white set with a silver shoe.

Full Looks

A special event is a great opportunity to incorporate this trend. Whether it’s a holiday party, work event, or special night out, opt for a soft and subtle two-piece set like this beautiful option from Vince or a dress with a creamy sweater over your shoulders. The shine is a soft glow that feels feminine and elegant. Opt for accessories in similar or complementary hues to finish the look.

Separates

Metallic separates like these pewter leather pants by Frame are a sexy statement with a black bodysuit and high heels. Strike a balance between elevated and formal with a premium metallic piece like a blazer, blouse, or dress pants. This gives your look an extra oomph without committing to a lot of shine or texture, and it’s just enough to make a head-turning statement.
