easy ways to rock the metallic fashion trend

Metallics are back and better than ever. Shimmery, shiny, metallic fabrics never really fade away...but they have a habit of popping up on trend lists every now and again. Summer 2021 is no exception. Marie Claire dubbed gilded garments as a must have for this season. It makes sense why fashionistas are keen to add a little extra something to their outfits. After more than a year in sweatpants and comfortable clothes, fashion lovers are ready to make a splash with style. What better way to stand out and strut yourself than with some intense metallic pieces? It is certainly a welcome shift from the laid-back pandemic-inspired looks. Not sure how to embrace the trend in a way that is wearable? Don't worry. Metallic is oh-so-simple to incorporate into your everyday outfits. Keep reading for some easy ways to rock the metallic fashion trend. 


Start Small with Metallic Accessories. Dramatic metallic outfits may wow on the runway...but in the real world, sometimes a little goes a long way. Anyone that wants to dip their toes into the metallic waters can start with accessories. This is an affordable way to test out the trend and get used to this dramatic finish. Adding on a pair of metallic shoes can really elevate an outfit. This summer, look for a pair of metallic flats, metallic sandals, or metallic open-toed shoes. Alternatively, a metallic headband can be added onto any outfit in just a few seconds. A metallic belt or bracelet is another quick and easy option. Find something that speaks to your style and incorporate it into your next summer outfit. 

Choose One Statement Piece. Love metallic but don't want to commit to a full-blown metallic outfit? That is totally okay. All you need to do is search for one statement piece that stands on its own. For example, a full length metallic skirt with a slit up the side or a ruffled metallic blouse in either silver or gold. Pair those statement items with something that is simple and understated. Wondering why? Those low-key pieces will allow the metallic item to be the focal point. 

Add Metallics to Your Beauty Routine. There are so many ways to embrace all things metallic. From your purse to your clothes and everything in between. Just don't forget about your beauty routine! It can also use an extra dose of metallic inspiration. Not sure where to begin? Incorporate the metallic fashion trend into your next nail look. Reach for a bold metallic nail polish shade and give yourself a trendy DIY manicure. Or you can try out a metallic lipstick, swipe on a bold metallic liquid eyeshadow, or even add on some metallic highlight. The possibilities are endless. 

Feeling bold? Go all in and choose a head-to-toe metallic ensemble. Otherwise, these easy ways to rock the metallic fashion trend might be a good place to start. Whether you are looking to add in some bold accessories, choose a statement piece that stands out, or incorporate metallics into your beauty routine...there is no better time to start. Embrace this fun seasonal trend and make sure your summer is one to remember.
