I spotted this Fashionista from a mile away and I knew I had to write this article about her. Her gold metallic skirt completely caught my attention like a beacon of golden light. I loved the way she spiced up a simple all black outfit with splashes of gold and metallics; a trend that has been very popular over the Christmas season. But who says that metallics are just a passing fad that you pull out during party season? If you love it, wear it no matter the season! Which is exactly just what this Fashionista has done and she’s killing it! Ladies and gentlemen, in the words of Rihanna, “Shine bright like a diamond.”
This look features one of my favorite styling techniques, layering, which she executes effortlessly having layered her black jumper over a lace top and allowing the lace collar to be seen.
She completes the outfit with some dainty silver rings, a silver coiled bracelet, and a long hanging rose gold necklace. The intricate detail in the hint of lace that we see peeking out from her jumper collar adds to the look. It almost gives the impression of a lace choker. For a comfortable and practical daytime look she has paired the outfit with a very on-trend puffer jacket, some classic all black Adidas Stan Smiths, and a cute Goodhood branded tote bag.
The beauty of this look is in its simplicity; with one key item, this Fashionista has added some metallic flair to her outfit. This look is not too much or over the top, it’s just enough for it to catch your eye. It strikes a nice medium between being bold and daring and playing it safe. You too could achieve a similar result by wearing a simple outfit with a key item that gives a pop of color—think bright cobalt blues, neons, metallics, etc. Go on—be creative, experiment, and create your own inspired look that suits you!
To transition to an evening look remove the coat, jumper, tights, and trainers, and replace with a light jacket, evening bag, and some heels—then you’re ready to hit the town with your girls. Who says winter has to be a dull affair and you can’t wear metallics outside of the party season? Take your cue from this Fashionista and be bold.
