With all that glittery glamour and paparazzi around it’s important to keep basic fads in mind. There is no need to dress up in metallic from head to toe. Designer Andrews’s advices “Add metallic, techno fabrics, satin or patent leather to your wardrobe. A woman who is more traditional may opt for shine with patent-leather accessories. A woman who is a little more fashion-forward may opt for a metallic trench coat, a metallic shoe or bag. Someone who is more fashion-adventurous might even opt for more of the techno fabric for daytime.” The metallic shade of the season looks great in dresses or tunics, or you can add that shimmer to your look and be trendy by simply adding a piece of chunky silver, gold Jewellery. Even though metallic appeal has been extended to normal colors gold and silver still rule the territory. Gold have a tendency to look more romantic while silver is always ultramodern. So go on throw yourself in the shimmer pool and come with various surprises superseding your normal persona.
