Metallic Garments Aren’t Just For Halloween Costumes: Here’s How To Style These Statement Pieces And Incorporate Them Into Your Everyday Wardrobe
Do you own any pieces of metallic clothing? I know you may think metallic clothes are a thing of the past, and you’d only keep a pair of metallic pants or a metallic dress on hand if you wanted to be an alien for Halloween. However, when styled properly, metallic clothes can look great and be incorporated into your everyday wardrobe.
If you have a few metallic pieces in your closet and want to start wearing them more often, here are some styling tips for you!
First, when choosing the metallic piece of clothing or accessory you want to wear, let that be the only metallic shade you wear.
For instance, if you want to wear a gold metallic skirt, avoid wearing silver jewelry or a bag with silver buckles.
Too many metallic colors in one look can be a bit overkill and may make you feel like a robot. Stick with one metallic hue per outfit, and you’ll be on your way!
Another tip is to think of your metallic pieces as solid neutrals. For instance, you can pair silver, gold, or rose-colored metallic pieces with so many neutral colors like black, beige, grey, and white. So, if you need something to pair with your favorite neutral pieces, reach for anything metallic.
If you want to start by slowly dipping your toe into the world of metallic pieces, start with accessories.
Adding a metallic purse, pair of shoes, scarf, etc., to one of your more neutral go-to outfits is a great idea.
Then, to level up your metallic game, start with one simple piece of clothing. After all, pieces like metallic tops, pants, jackets, skirts, etc., can make quite the statement. One of my favorite pieces of metallic clothing is a great metallic skirt.

You can pair a flowy metallic skirt with a camisole and sandals during warmer days, a tee shirt and a blazer, or even a cozy knit sweater and some booties on a colder day.
Metallic tops or jackets look great with more casual pieces like your favorite pair of jeans and some boots or sneakers. It’s a way of standing out without looking too formal.
Metallic pants can seem a little more difficult to style but are nothing to be afraid of. Pair them with your favorite neutral sweater or denim jacket to dress them down a bit and add some nice contrast to your look.
There you have it: some easy tips for rocking some metallic clothes this year! Next time you’re out clothing shopping, don’t shy away from a little extra shine.
Yes, wearing metallic clothes tends to be an attention grabber, but when styled correctly, they’re attention grabbers in a good way. When was the last time you wore some metallic clothes?
