Metallics can be tricky to pull off. Wear too many silver and gold lamé pieces at once and you run the risk of looking like you just dropped out of a space ship (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, though might be tough to rock at brunch). Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to add a little glitz, glam, and sparkle into your everyday wardrobe this season.
Fashion Week showgoers all around the world have been leading the charge. In Paris, for instance, model Teddy Quinlivan was spotted wearing a Paco Rabanne parka as a dress. On the more subdued end of the spectrum, there was editor Giovanna Battaglia Engelbert, who did metallics via a silver strapless top and a calf-length denim skirt. Looking for a subtle Midas touch? Consider Proenza Schouler’s metallic tote bag. It’s roomy enough for all your everyday essentials—phone, keys, and makeup—while still carrying a bit of club kid edge. On the hunt for a statement blazer? Blazé Milano does one with a tungsten hue, ideal for both meetings and extra glam happy hour cocktails.
With Vogue’s roundup of the best metallic pieces to buy now, shimmering into spring just got that much easier.
