With winter coming to a close and spring and summer apparel right around the corner, we’re spending the next few months dreaming of soaking up scorching sunshine in trendsetting style. Whether it’s dreaming about what we will wear on spring and summer vacays, saving our favorite spring and summer outfits on Pinterest, or watching new makeup tutorials, visions of metallic styles and all things fabulous are running through our minds.
As soon as the flowers start to bloom and the weather warms up, you are going to see more and more of these metallic fashion items everywhere. The best way to celebrate the end of a cold winter is with new clothing items and accessories that make you look like Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century. This new style literally oozes style, glamour, and quality. Go ahead an visualize yourself in a sparkly holographic spagetti strap dress at a rooftop party with a sexy warm breeze to contribute to the chic Hollywood vibe.
The metallic trend recently made it all over the runway at 2020 fashion shows, and for good reason! Designers such as Dior, Christopher John Rogers, and Alexander McQueen featured this trend in their collections because they recognize that the most beautiful looks this spring/summer start with a combination of rich fabrics, a plethora of color options, and unique styles that compliment every personal look. You can throw in just about any metallic item to almost any outfit and make it your own.
Celebrities are getting in on the action too. Lena Waithe was recently spotted at the Sundance Film Festival looking fresh in a Richfresh holographic trench coat. Grammy host, none other than Miss Alicia Keys, wore a high-fashion metalic Versace dress that took nearly 600 hours to complete…NBD.
What classifies as metallic though? Metallic colors can be pretty much anything super flashy, whether that’s silver, gold, white, or anything that makes you sparkle like the gem you are. Whether you go with a sparkly silver dress or holographic clutch, you are sure to turn some heads and get asked where you collected such a good find. Still, if you have a little more traditional taste, you can find ways to incorporate this new trend into your wardrobe. Consider a pair of white sparkly boots to match with a more neutral-colored outfit that’s not quite as loud.
This season is all about a vast assortment of metallic ‘grammable items, so get to collecting. Whether it is a night out with your girls, date night with your boo thang, or a trip to the farmers’ market, you will feel one step ahead of the game in your new stylish pieces. Oh, and you might start considering hiring your own personal photographer because you’re, like, totally a runway model now…or at least you feel that way.
