We’re seeing a lot of metallics recently, but it’s hard to think of ways to incorporate the trend during the day without feeling over the top. Want to know how to wear metallics this season? So you're NOT just limited to jewelry and accessories? Then read on! I know you have the ability to instantly turn an outfit from DRAB to FAB. But first, you must take note, sweethearts that metallics are now making their way into our wardrobes via clothing. Don't just limit and associate yourself in wearing such color during night time, also. These pieces can also be worn by day. Knowing how to wear metallics during the day will help you make the most of one of this season’s hottest trends. Let me help you overcome your fear of wearing "Metallics" when the sun is out, dear. For sure, it is a fun way to liven up your daily fit. I love that we’re currently in a fashion climate where anything goes; vintage, velvet, minimalist, maximalist – and metallics are no different. No longer relegated to eveningwear, it’s totally acceptable (and encouraged, in my opinion!) to sport the sparkly stuff during daylight. Disregard the naysayers and haters and wear your favourite metallic pieces with pride. Fashion should be an expression of yourself and what makes you happy. Allow me to show you different ways to incorporate a little dazzle into your day.
Not quite ready to tackle metallic clothing? Then maybe accessories are your best bet to make this look work. It's time to shine! I know, silver, gold, metallic jewel tones are usually associated with the holiday season, but this year it's going to be different.
Things like a metallic leather (or leather look) bag or some metallic shoes are all you need to really liven up your outfit this season.

STYLE TIP 101:
Do's
Finish it with Matte. When it comes to how to wear metallics, matte finishes are the safer option, especially when it comes to clothing. Metallics can be very showy, so make it daytime appropriate in a matte finish.
Keep it SIMPLE. Wear one metallic piece per outfit and make it the focal point of your look.
Be Confident. One of the key tips for how to wear metallics during the day is to have confidence.
Silhouette. Do choose the right silhouette.
Hues. Do make the hues fun.
Don'ts
When wearing metallics during the day, stay away from anything too tight or too short. Instead go for pieces like pleated or A-line skirts, tailored trousers, or slouchy metallic knits.
Don’t let anyone else bring you down! Adding some metallic elements to your day to day outfits can really bring them to the next level.
Never overdo with metallics, do not dress head to toe in gold, silver or bronze, otherwise you are going to look like an alien from outer space.
Don't go off the deep end.
Don't get all android. Over-the-knee boots are hot, but with silver, it just screams fembot.
