We now wear metallics all year round - even during the day

Extravagant metallics such as silver leather, shimmering satin or sparkling sequins have had enough of their existence as mere party accessories. They are now showing their potential in everyday life too.

New Year's Eve and Christmas are long gone - or still a long way off. Nevertheless, garments and accessories reminiscent of tinsel and disco balls are unstoppable right now. Metallics have broken out of their festive prison and are currently storming catwalks, streets and Instagram feeds. Fortunately, because it would be a missed opportunity if they were only allowed to perform their splendour on special occasions. As futuristic and fancy as these dazzling pieces look, they are more versatile and suitable for everyday wear than you might think.

There are numerous ways, from extravagant to subtle, to incorporate metallics into your look. The flagship of the trend is the silver (faux) leather trousers, a rather eye-catching piece that is not just for long party nights. Casually combined with trainers or ankle boots and a timeless Basic such as a turtleneck jumper or a classic white T-shirt, these trousers are perfectly suitable for everyday wear.

If a shiny item of clothing is too much of a good thing for you, you can add some metallic accents with accessories such as bags, belts or shoes instead.

Silver is particularly trendy right now, but it's by no means the only colour to incorporate the trend into your look. Gold is a great alternative if you prefer a warmer look. Colourful metallic tones look wonderfully playful. When it comes to materials, you can think beyond reflective leather or faux leather. Sequins also create a shiny look. Shimmering satin or jersey interwoven with metallic threads are also a subtle alternative to make your look sparkle.
