10 WAYS TO WEAR METALLICS

Last week I bought a pair of gold metallic J Brand skinny jeans, true story. They were only $50 at Marshalls and they were the exact cut/style that I like from J Brand. Those two reasons served as reason enough to buy a pair of gold metallic pants.

Then I got home and was like, “oh snap, how I am going to wear these pants!”

Lucky for my pants, I’m a stylist and I have already come up with a ton of different ways to wear them. In fact, I’ve already worn them once. They were a great way to add some visual interest into my fall/ winter wardrobe.

So spice up your fall wardrobe with some metallics! They are a shockingly easy and chic way to add a little flavor to your wardrobe. They might sound a little intimidating, but it’s a lot easier than you think. Here are 10 stylish ways to wear metallics …

1. ON YOUR FEET

Tip toe into this trend by wearing a pair of metallic shoes on your feet.

2. SHINY OUTERWEAR

For the extra bold, wear a metallic  jacket or coat. I had a gold metallic trench in college, I miss that coat …

3. DRESS IT UP

Go big or go home with a metallic shift dress.

4. TONE IT DOWN WITH NEUTRALS

Take the bling down a notch or two with a neutral like camel or beige.

5. WHITE OUT

Because silver + white = oh so nice!

6. ADD BLACK

This is exactly what I did with my gold pants. Can’t go wrong with black.

7. WITH A TEE

A graphic tee gets an instant upgrade when paired with a metallic.

8. SNEAK IT IN

If you are really scared, then try wearing a metallic belt. Keep it simple, subtle, and a bit sneaky.

9. BEYONCE-IFY IT

Just do whatever Beyonce does … But seriously, I like how she made her metallic pants super casual. Go, Bey!

10. KNIT IT

A cozy sweater paired with a cold-as-ice metallic makes for the most perfect pairing.

ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
