According
to Elle, one of the biggest fashion magazines in the world, metallic shades
were huge in 2015. These exciting tones are bold, bright and beautiful,
allowing you to let your inner fashion goddess shine, which is why we think
they might be just as popular in 2016!
But they can be a bit ‘out there;’
metallics are kind of hard to pull off, so many women choose to refrain from
wearing them. If you want to embrace the metallic trend, check out these five
tips from the Luxe Models team to find out how to rock these shiny tones.
Keep it simple
As a rule of thumb, we’d suggest
you stick to wearing one metallic piece of clothing per outfit. If you opt for
two or more, you could end up resembling a character from a sci-fi movie. Keep
it simple and pair metallics with more subtle pieces to nail this daring trend.
Consider colour
Metallics can be kind of tricky –
they don’t go with every colour, so we’d suggest you pair them with clothes in
neutral tones to play it safe. Silver metallics work fabulously with whites,
greys and blacks, while gold and copper metallics go better with pinks, creams
and greys.
Opt for the right fit
Metallic pieces show off everything. Therefore if you choose to
wear metallic clothing that’s too short or too tight, these pieces could provide
your body with a distinctly unflattering silhouette. Make sure you know your
body’s measurements and opt for metallic pieces that fit you like a glove.
Hair and makeup
When it comes to metallics
subtlety is key, so you might want to keep your hair and makeup simple when you
don these brilliant pieces. As far as hair goes, you may want to either let it
fly free or keep it loosely curled. Meanwhile, opt for makeup in neutral tones such
as white, grey and black to emphasise, without overcrowding, this dazzling look.
Be fearless
Here we turn to one of the most
basic rules of fashion – confidence is everything. Work metallics fearlessly
and without hesitation. If you wear these statement items with trepidation
you’ll look uncomfortable, and you can’t pull them off without a good dash of
confidence!
Rock metallic clothing!
We can understand why many women
hesitate to wear metallic clothing, but you really don’t need to. If you follow
these tips presented by the Luxe Models team, you’ll have everything you need
to rock metallic items in 2016!
