Silver is in! Here's how to incorporate metallics in your wardrobe
Shiny pops of metallics are just the thing to rev up your fall wardrobe. And it's easy to incorporate into your existing looks, whether you want to go subtle with a hint of gleam in your accessories or full-on sparkle with stylish tops or bottoms.
Glittery accessories are always a fun way to add glamour to any outfit. A shiny headband, a shimmery belt, a sparkly bag, bedazzled boots—all great ways to add that fun pop to a simple everyday outfit! You can't go wrong with a shiny accessory for a day of shopping or an all-out gilded look for a night out with your besties.
Silver shoes are the best way to liven up your outfit. These silver ballet flats from Zara are best worn with a cute black mini skirt and black tee. To make the already super cute outfit even cuter add these gorg sparkly socks from Zara.
Mary Janes are a classic shoe, and this funky color takes this classic to a new level. They can be dressed down with your fav pair of straight-leg blue jeans and a white tee or a cute pair of blue and white striped pants with a grey tee! Either look is bound to be stylish.
Bags are a super fun way to add to your already fashionable outfit. This silver bag is such a cool asymmetrical shape...and who doesn't love rhinestones? It can be worn with a simple slip dress of any color for a fun night out.
As the days get cooler and fall turns to winter, the time for festive dressing and metallics is *on*. Silver is the cool metallic that goes with everything from black to berry to neutrals. You can stick to silver in subtle satin and silk or go big with shiny sequins and paillettes. Either way, you can't go wrong!
This skirt is the perfect way to live out your disco fantasies! No matter where you're standing, with all the sequins and sparkles on this skirt you're bound to shine! Pair it with a navy baby tee or a bright asymmetrical top if you prefer more of a maximalist outfit.
Silver skirts are everywhere this fall. There is no better transitional piece than a silver slip midi skirt. It can be worn through every season. Try wearing it with all types of colors. A brown cashmere sweater for fall, a long sleeve blue tee in winter, a light pink baby tee for spring, and white for summer!
If you aren't sure about silver yet, nail polish is a great way to get in on the trend without jumping in head first. No matter what nail shape you prefer, this is a super fun color to try. You could even try a cooler version of a French Manicure with silver tips.
Metallic isn't just for day or evening wear, it's also fabulous outerwear! Cold-weather coats and accessories don't need to be dull—spice up your outerwear with shiny silver coats, hats and boots. They'll keep you warm, and you'll look amazing.
Puffers are obviously the best coat for winter, and if you're loving silver, this is the coat for you. Silver goes with everything, so don't worry about your coat clashing with your outfits!
