While clunky metal armours may have been firmly relinquished as ‘a thing of the past’, fashion-forward folk the world over seem not to have gotten quite over the metallic look in the last couple 100 years! This seemly perennial obsession with all things golden or silver may in fact have extended beyond adorning shiny baubles and trinkets to wearing clothes and other accessories that boast that much-coveted metallic sheen.

Bestowed with an inherent shine, such metallic clothes and accessories are indeed the easiest way to turn heads at a party. As any fashion-forward lady would be well aware, such ensemble – glimmer as they do under the multi-coloured neon nights of the evening – are the perfect arsenal with which to boost one’s glamour quotient.

To help you do just that, we’ve created two metallic looks, to help you stay ahead of the game.

Look 1 is assertively for the divas of the night. With over-the-knee Chanel booties paired with a silver Tom Ford jacket and a touch of gold, courtesy of YSL, this metallic look is guaranteed to make you the life of any party.

Look 2 is more about understated elegance. While the golden frills on the Stella McCartney shirt adds just the right dose of bling, the skirt by Shiatzy Chen keep things slightly subtle. Pair with Kate Spade earrings by Kate Spade or a shield bracelet by Loewe to make it interesting.
