No A/W trend has had us more infatuated than the resurrection of metallic. From high-shine silvers to brazen bronze, this Christmas is the best time to show off a bit of razzle dazzle. The perfect NYE statement, look to the likes of gorgeous Cara Delevingne, who rocked a gold metallic dress with tough black accessories at the Harper’s Bazaar Women of the Year Awards. Dolce and Gabbana ruled the A/W runway with full on glitz and glam, while Mulberry and Jenny Packham went for a sophisticated sheen with red-carpet ready gowns.

However, metallic fabrics are not exclusive to evening wear and you can rock a muted metallic in the day. Be inspired by Balmain and opt for a fierce blazer over dark separates or loose fitted metallic thread shirts. If you go for a daytime dress, make sure the silhouette is sporty and relaxed and toughen up with black boots à la Stella McCartney.

The golden rule, if you must, is to keep all other accessories to a minimum so as not to overdo the look and really let the metallic shine. Don’t be afraid to mix metallic pieces with other fabrics such as cotton tee-shirts or distressed denim, as it keeps the outfit modern and fresh. We love the following metallic pieces from our favourite high street shops. Just click to buy.
