2. Casting a Fashionable Light: Making Metals Part of Your Signature Look
Before discussing how to make metals part of your signature look, let’s talk about why you should. Metals, when used correctly, can be a timeless source of beauty, provide you with an air of sophistication and add a scintilla of luxury to your look.
Now that you’ve decided to take the plunge, here are three tips on how to cast a fashionable light:
- Pair colors wisely: Gold and silver go together like peanut butter and jelly, but if you’re wearing rose gold, opt for a single gold piece like a necklace in the same tone.
- Mix textures: Chains and earrings made of different materials and in different finishes can add personality without going over the top.
- Select staples: Invest in classic pieces that offer the best value for money, like timeless earrings or a classic chain necklace.
Creating your signature style with metals isn’t just about the pieces you choose, though it is of paramount importance. Where and how you wear the metals is just as important — from fading away during the day to standing out in the late night, think of metals as an element of your individual style.
3. Revitalizing Traditional Fabrics: Making Room for Shimmery Accents
Traditional fabric is making quite a comeback! Warm, earthy tones are being used in bold patterns to create fabrics with an impressive visual impact. They are the perfect starting fabric for creating any fashion-forward piece. But, if you’re not careful, traditional fabrics can easily blend into the background, leaving your fashion pieces feeling a bit too ‘safe’ and plain. Why not add a modern, shimmery touch to your pieces and bring them into the new age?
By introducing subtle glittery accents, you can take your traditional looks from staid to simply stunning. Think shimmery silver waistbands, metallic gold piping, or glittery bronze details. Not only will these highlights provide a modern touch, but also easily draw the eye and add an impactful finish to the look. Here are a few areas to inject a little sparkle:
- Cuffs: Embellished cuffs are both eye-catching and chic. From a glittery trim to a full-on beaded cuff, the options are endless.
- Waistbands: A wide shimmery waistband or metallic belt can instantly give your outfit a contemporary twist.
- Pocket Squares: Adding a pocket square made of a metallic fabric will add a sharp contrast to a formal look.
Revival traditional fabrics don’t need to be boring – why not add some shimmery accents and make a lasting impression? These accents can help you create a fashionable piece that is both relevant and timeless, while still paying respects to the classic looks of old. So the next time you’re using traditional fabric, incorporate some glitzy accents and be fashionably daring!
