Fallastic Metallic

However, I think that the trend can be very classy and feminine if worn right. If not...well, you know the opposite of classy.

Tips on wearing metallic:
1. Choose a traditional metallic. When you add a classic metallic color (i.e. silver or gold) to an outfit, you can easily pair it with more than one outfit. It can work for the daytime or a date night. Besides, classics can never go out of style.
2. Try metallic-something-else instead of just the accessories. I am essentially saying that instead of sticking with shoe, purses, and jewelry, be bold! Try a metallic top or skirt. Pairing those with subtle colors will be amazing.
3. While you're at it, try the tips...or the whole nail. Although I am not much of a nail gal, some of you may be. If you are (or aren't, still) you should try painting your nails a metallic color. It's daring, yet subtle, at the same time. Do you get what I'm saying? It'll pair nicely with pretty much everything is what I am essentially saying.
4. Wear a form-fitting and a loose-fitting piece. If you are wearing a metallic, loose-fitting top, then go for a complimenting color of fitting pants. If, instead, you are wearing form-fitting, metallic bottoms, then opt for a more looser top. They complement each other well, and you don't want to look overdone (especially if you're trying to go casual!).
5. Go for a bolder metallic. If you want to embolden your outfit up, choose a pair of shoes, a purse, etc, that is feminine and sassy, and throw in some metallic. Hmm...say, a pair of royal blue shoes with gold embellishments? It'll be eye-catching and very eye-appealing. Just make sure to tone down the rest of your outfit a bit (a structured blazer, you say?)
Have you tried the metallic trend, yet? Or is it just a little bit too much for you?
