Trend Forecast: Metallics & How To Style Them
The weather may be getting colder, but the clothing is getting warmer and a helluva lot brighter this season!
As we move into winter and start unpacking our coats and cardigans, it’s a good time to give your wardrobe a simple revival. With this season’s hottest trend being metallics and everything shiny, it’s never been easier.
Metallics or shiny, sequined clothing was once considered a bold, risky fashion choice. However, nowadays, adding something bold and out-there is spot-on.
When it comes to metallics there really are no rules. You can style it and wear it as you please, to reflect your own, personal style.
However, there are certain guidelines to follow – and we’re here to help you follow them.
If You Go Big, Go Big
If you’re going to choose one, big metallic item, like a bomber jacket or culottes, make sure it is the base of the whole outfit. Get something that fits you perfectly and rock it without apologies.
After all, you are going to stand out no matter what.
It’s All in the Details
If you would prefer a more understated metallic or sequined look, try to add simple yet elegant touches of shine somewhere in your outfit.
Think sequined hair accessories or metal chokers, sequined tank tops or slightly shiny blouses. It’ll give you that edgy look without being too overbearing.
Matchy-Matchy Is No Longer A Fashion Crime
We all remember the days when the gods of the fashion world declared wearing anything too ‘matchy-matchy’ a cardinal sin.
However, those days are over, and in fact, with metallics, matchy-matchy is encouraged!
Think sexy, slinky two-piece outfits like a metallic plissé crop top with matching culottes or a daring sequined dress with a metallic coloured bomber jacket.
The thing with the metallic trend, is that it can be worn in so many different ways, but it’s about incorporating it into your wardrobe in a way that it makes you feel comfortable and emphasises your own style.
And let’s be honest; everyone looks better with a little added shimmer!
