Mad for Metallics

If you choose only one dress for this season, make it the metallic dress. Seen everywhere from the catwalk to the high street metallic dresses are the perfect party wear. And there is one to suit every personality and budget, from Dolce & Gabbana to ASOS. Guaranteed to make you stand out from the crowd the metallic look is perfect, as all of the attention will go towards the dress! Since metallics pack a significant visual punch all on their own, there’s no need to go overboard with accessories. Pair it with simple heels and minimal jewellery – allowing you to enjoy the evening with full force!

Another great thing about this trend is that there’s one to suit every body shape too. Body Con Dresses are the perfect style for petite or slim figures as they hug your body. To keep the look chic, avoid showing too much skin by choosing dresses with long sleeves or mini dresses with a high neck. Shift dresses, on the other hand, flatter most body shapes and are a great option for showing off perfect pins. For a fun sixties vibe choose a silver mini dress, and wear with black opaque tights and big earrings. If you’re even braver go for a bright colour such as a vibrant metallic blue. But, if you prefer a more understated look, than these shift dresses look equally as good in black, bronze or metallic grey. And remember just because they’re metallic, it doesn’t mean they have to look like tin foil. Look out for dresses with metallic edging or knitted dresses with flecks of metallic.

The One shoulder dress is another great option and perfect if you’re looking for something individual that will stand out. There are dresses available in all lengths and shapes, from mini dresses and midi dresses to knee length and flared skirts. There is also a choice between long sleeved, short sleeved and strappy designs in a range of tones, from vibrant gold to subtle gunmetal. Meaning that whatever your style and personality there is the perfect dress out there for you! Take a look at our celebrity inspiration and shop the trend below.
