Metallics can be worn all year round! Now that Spring is here, we can be fun and bold again! Some of you may be a bit skeptical of metallic, with the flashiness of the silvers, gold, bronzes, sequins and jewel tones, but give it a chance! Metallics are attention grabbing without a doubt, but you can rock metallic in small doses as well!
Try:
Metallic Shoes: If you aren’t ready to fully commit to metallic, shoes are a great way to incorporate metallic in your outfit! Metallics are equivalent to nude pumps, they go with everything! Silver heels can be dressed up with a cocktail dress or paired with jeans for a casual, everyday look!
Metallic Clutch: A metallic clutch is the perfect way to add a little shine and elegance to any outfit!
Metallic Skirts: If you are a little more daring, try a metallic skirt paired with something unexpected! Such as a knit sweater or a jersey top. This mix and match of flashy and casual is the perfect combination to be sexy but sophisticated!
Metallic Shirts: Metallic shirts can be very flashy and give off a 1980s feel! Try something more modern like a metallic camisole paired with costume jewelry! You can dress this up or down; wear jeans during the day and add a blazer and heels for a sexy nighttime look!
Metallic Jackets: Metallic jackets can surprisingly be incredibly versatile! You can wear them with jeans and a t-shirt for a casual day or wear one with a cocktail dress for an evening look! The key to wearing a metallic jacket is to have that be the ONLY metallic piece in your outfit. You don’t want an overwhelmingly shiny outfit. Small doses of metallic is all you need!
Metallic Dresses: Are you daring and want to be the center of attention? If the answer is yes, then a metallic dress is the pick for you! Choose a shimmery, look-at-me dress that shows off all your best features!
