Metallics
are having a moment. We are seeing lots of shiny bags, shoes and
clothes and as a “more is more” type of gal, I’m loving it. But I
know the extra shimmer can seem a bit intimidating. But instead of
starting off small, let’s just jump right into it by talking about
metallic pants. Shiny, colored jeans aren’t the easiest or most
versatile piece of clothing on the market, but that doesn’t mean
that they aren’t fun. To ease you into it, I’m going to break down
how to style metallic pants in a few different ways.
Simple and Sleek

If your style skews a bit more neutral and you tend to opt for
sleek, classic items, but you’re looking to add a touch of glam to
your look, try this outfit formula. Swap out your simple black
trousers for a pair of silver faux leather pants. Style them the
exact same way with some wardrobe hero pieces like a cashmere
sweater and chic overcoat. Throw on a pair of sneakers to maintain
that casual feel and viola!

I know metallic pants are a tough sell, so pink
metallic pants might seem crazy. But as shown above, they’re really
not. The key to this look is all about balance. The shiny pink
pants are the star of the show, so the makeup, shoes, and colorful
dotted cardi all complement that pants without competing for the
spotlight.

Like I said before, I’m a more is more kinda gal. So, if I’m
doing metallics, sometimes it’s fun to just go all out. I love how
digital creator Nina Sandbech went ultra glam in these gold flares.
The cropped jacket with the shoulder pads combined with the
oversized flower choker is the perfect amount of “extra.” I also
love how she didn’t shy away from metallic accessories by adding
the gold belt and shoes.
