From metal chains to studded belts, even formal wear is getting in on this season’s metallic trend. For shoppers who want to take part, look no further than the first glinting item that catches your eye.
Studded Accessories
Studs are a youthful way to add metal into your wardrobe. Try a black leather belt with silver stud detailing. Studded belts look amazing over long, slim coats, and winter-weight dresses. If you are petite a studded belt over top of a voluminous dress will keep your proportions in check.
Leather handbags with studded detailing add instant rock and roll into your look. A tougher exterior on your purse will compliment and balance and otherwise feminine outfit.
Metal Chains
Gold, silver, and bronze, of all different weights, lengths, and thickness. Metal chains are a quick, easy, and affordable way to add shine to your look. This season’s necklace is all about making a statement, so instead of wearing one silver chain, wear five. Mix and match colours and textures for a luxurious effect.
Metallic Clothing
Even clothing is getting the studded finish this season. Look for tops and dresses with silver studs around the neckline. Don’t compete with the embellishment by pairing a necklace with a look like this. Let the clothing stand out on its own.
Another way to add some shine this season is by wearing clothing that has a metallic effect, like a silver sequined dress. A dress with this much sparkle is perfect for holiday parties and New Year’s Eve. This season designers are flocking to the metallic trend by using materials that have a glistening effect. Mix in a shimmering blouse with a muted wool cardigan for a look that is office-appropriate.
Metallics add youth, edge, and texture to an outfit. An accessory with a little bit of shin is the perfect way to break up a neutral fall outfit. And an outfit with an all-over metallic look is certain to grab some attention. So don your sunglasses, and try out this light-reflecting trend.
If you are looking for inspiration when putting an outfit together, look no further than the Balmain Spring 2010 ready to wear collection. For the past few seasons Balmain has shown innovative ways of wearing the metallic and rock n' roll trends. The label is heavily coveted by young Hollywood and the fashion elite. And although it is a bit dramatic for everyday wear, it will provide you with the necessary fashion inspiration.
