Sleek & Chic: How to Wear Metallics Everyday

Published on August 22, 2016

Ever heard the saying “Everything old is new again”? That certainly seems to be true with fashion and Fall 2016 was no exception. With backpacks, high-waisted mom jeans, pinafores, and the ubiquitous choker back in style, is it any surprise metallics are also making a comeback? Yup, metallic shine is back and in a big way! From Alexander McQueen to Dolce & Gabbana, Zara to ASOS, metallic accents and accessories are everywhere, and I can’t say I’m mad about it. I love metallics!

There’s something so nostalgic about glitter and frost, sparkle and shine, you know? It takes me back to playing dress up as a little girl when glitter was a must, and then onwards into my teen years when nail polish was my primary weapon to express my style. My all-time favourite metallic nail polish back then was Revlon Nail Enamel in Wild, a gorgeous green with gold undertones. Fact: It’s the only bottle of nail polish I’ve ever used up entirely!

Today, I’m paying homage to dressing up the grown up way (no pretending!) by showing you a few sleek, chic and sophisticated ways of adding metallic accents to your everyday wardrobe.

Shoes! But, of course, right? Shoes remain an obsession – and my favourite way – of adding interest to any outfit. Adding a pair of metallic heels or flats to an everyday casual outfit is on-trend, on-point, and so wearable! L: College Vintage, R: Walk in Wonderland

These are two great examples of working metallics into a a more eclectic wardrobe. I’ve always admired women who can mix and match patterns, prints and textures and make it look so effortless! L & R: College Vintage

The key to wearing metallics everyday, is learning to create balance so you don’t veer into disco diva territory, which is very much a look that belongs in the past! Mixing metallics with luxe fabrics like a black leather bomber jacket or a cashmere sweater is the perfect balancing act. Sophisticated, grown-up, and perfectly kick ass.

Gold brocade pants, anyone? I love that they are paired with a simple white shirt, a three-quarter length Fall coat and that amazing black and white Chanel purse. Perfectly balanced but still makes a statement! If actual metallic fabrics aren’t your thing, you can try a faux metallic look with a lustrous gold velvet clutch. L: Waiting on Martha, R: The Fashion Eaters

Speaking of lustrous looks, this pink satin bomber is adorable and so much fun! Plus, it actually looks really comfortable too. I also love the rose gold backpack on the right. It’s a great way of adding a small pop of metallics if a full-on piece of clothing is too much for you. L: Zanita, R: Habitually Chic

Speaking of accents, don’t forget the smaller accessories- sunglasses and a metallic manicure are A+ ways to add sleek and chic style to your everyday look. They’re fairly neutral pieces too so they’re guaranteed to work with outfit after outfit, from day to night. L: Viva Luxury, R: Fashion Gone Rogue

And lastly, makeup! Easy, relatively affordable, and a million and one ways to add metallics to your everyday. There are a lot of beautiful beauty palettes out now with the prettiest metallic shades. This is my favourite of the four looks created for Freundin Magazine. Via WhoWhatWear.

So what do you think? Are you loving everyday metallics as much as I am, and what’s your favourite way of adding some sleek and chic details to your wardrobe? Leave me a comment and tell me! Oh, and if you’re in the mood to shop, this week I’ve rounded up my favourite metallic clothes and accessories under $300 on The Shop at So Fresh & So Chic!

STYLING TIP // Always add art, always. 😍 I had STYLING TIP // Always add art, always. 😍 I had a serious case of fomo and rushed to get this piece of #isolationcreation goodness by @jamiebeck.co before the series was retired. I have no regrets! It’s absolutely gorgeous and it brings me right back in time to those surreal lockdown days. In conclusion, go buy some original art and support an artist! 😀 #sofreshmyhome
