Since metallics pack a significant visual punch all on their own, there’s no need to go overboard with accessories.2. Choose form-fitting pieces. Most designers chose form-fitting metallics to create sleek looks balanced by looser blouses, jackets or pants.3. Wear one metallic piece at a time. Since metallics create such a bold statement, wearing too many at once can cheapen a look. Choose one key piece (slim pant, statement bag), and let it be the star of your outfit.4. Pair metallics with neutrals.Source: ellecanada.com
