In a similar vein to prints and brights, the key to getting metallics right is restraint.

Worn with black or white (or both), a choice metallic piece can add polish to even the most basic ensembles. And gone are the days when metallics were the preserve of eveningwear - pair a shimmery skirt with a simple jersey sweatshirt and you’ve got an outfit which works equally well at the office or for weekend lunch…
