If you’re still not over the holiday season feels and you’re still in the mood for outfits that embody the holiday spirit, then a few metallic pieces here and there may just be what you need to liven up your winter look. Metallic pieces are great for adding a bit of festive sheen and shine to your outfit, especially on days when you feel like glitter or sequins might be a bit too much. Here are a few tips on how to wear metallics.
Metallic lips – who says metallic clothes are the only metallic pieces you can wear? If you’re feeling a bit bolder and more adventurous, skip metallic clothes and go for metallic lips instead. Kylie has released quite a few wearable shades of metallic liquid lipsticks, but a couple other brands make good metallic lippies, too.
Metallic eyes – not a fan of bold lips? How about doing metallic eyes instead? You don’t need to buy metallic shadows if you’re planning on doing this look just once; instead, you can foil your shimmery eyeshadows by spraying your brush with some primer water and start dipping.
Metallic pleated skirt – wearing a metallic pleated skirt is the best way to combine bold and beautiful, fab and festive, and girly and grand. It’s a nice way to make a statement without taking away the soft and ladylike factor from your look. Pair it up with anything — from a basic tshirt to a really cute lacey top — and see your outfit transform for blah to Barbie-like in a second.
Metallic and monochromatic – looking for another cute idea to wear metallic pieces before the festive holiday vibes end? How about a gorgeous monochromatic outfit with a metallic twist? They say the key to making monochromatic outfits look exciting is to incorporate a lot of texture play, and this is a great way to do so.
Metallic outerwear – still looking for a statement outerwear to add to your closet? A metallic one might just be what you need to complete your winter wardrobe. Wear it on top of regular and basic outfits to keep your look from becoming too simple.
Metallic accents and accessories – another really simple way to level up your look is to throw in the tiniest hint of metallic here and there. Wearing metallic accents or accessories with any look is a great way to add some subtle festive shimmer and shine to your ensemble.
