Embracing the Metallic Fashion Trend Without Looking Like a Hooker
One of the big trends right now is the metallics. Metallics used as accessories, like shoes and bags, has been a trend that has been going on for years. I’ve been telling my clients to always have a pair of metallic sandals for summer as easy, yet exciting, go-to shoes in their closet. A Metallic bag, be it gold, copper or silver, is a versatile bag color that is way less boring than black but just as user friendly. Now the trend has moved towards metallic clothing and, let’s just say, done wrong can be a bit frightening and little too much.
Yet, I wanted to explore this metallic clothing trend. For a more realistic lifestyle, is it possible to do metallics in a way that doesn’t say street walker or cocktail waitress? You bet it is and I’m going to tell you how.
Before I do, however, I want to give you some advice about wearing metallics near your face through a top, a dress or a jacket. Metallics are, obviously, very reflective fabrics. Due to the fact that they reflect light, when worn near the face, they can enhance wrinkles or advanced styles of aging. This is why older women often feel better in fabrics that have more texture. If you’re someone who is trying to camouflage the signs of aging, metallics are probably better worn away from your face through pieces like skirts or in small doses or in understated ways. It’s all about making an informed choice and if you’ve ever noticed that metallic or fabrics with sheen don’t do much for your facial appearance, there is a good chance that this is why.
