The fascination of this Spring metallic trend is that it follows the so fashionable "wear-anywhere" approach and merge it to almost all clothing and footwear items. Bringing a refreshing and unworried golden color for Spring could not be a better idea, as we enter the season of heat, sun and relaxation. Although metallics are still trendy, the most fashionable looks this Spring incorporate item that appear used and less precious. So, one path this Spring is to reuse all that previous seasons golden/metallic clothes and shoes by dressing them down with worn-out leather belts and ripped jeans.
Designers gave us mini dresses and sandals that appear to have been buried for several eons and brought to day light to everyone enjoy and desire. In addition, we saw lounge suits, adorned with dirty gold sequins, that looked simultaneously antique and novel in the most unexpected and amazing way.
Therefore, instead of bright metallic choose dresses and accessories in oxidize or dirty gold for a more understated look. Moreover, rediscover some of that old jewelry that was put apart because it looked used, now, that's the look you want to achieve. Jewelry trends also follows this vintage metallic trend and are receiving inspiration from pewter vintage and antique items.
