Metallics are a wardrobe essential when trying to make an impact. During the day they can be a little too much shine for work. But at night the shiny metal is perfect for dancing and having a good time with friends.
The key to dressing in shiny colors is to use one piece at a time. So instead of a head to toe gold outfit, try wearing just a gold skinny jean and a solid color top. This approach will take a once over the top outfit to understated glamour.
Another key to dressing in metallics is to stick with solid colors. Stay away from prints. The shiny fabric by itself makes enough of a statement. However if you want to wear head to toe metallics, use similar colors that match. Gold and beige is one example of a good color combination. While silver and grey is another perfect variation.Â
