Metallics manage to muscle their way back into the fashion world every few years so they’re worth taking a shine to. We love sprucing up a monotonous outfit with a pop of gold, bronze or silver. Here’s how to modernise your look with this season’s new metal.
Throw a metallic jacket over all black for regal street style.
Tata Naka does a shimmering golden bomber with green detailing to step into spring, or for chillier climates invest in a bold, gold bomber to keep you snug for the next few winters.

Kendall Jenner recently caused a media frenzy when she stepped out in a high-sheen gold puffer jacket by Ports 1961. Paired with black skinnies and patterned neckerchief, the off-duty model looked nothing short of 24-karat.
Moncler’s Veronika Metallic Parka, lined with fox fur is another winter coat that’s sure to induce fashion envy.

Don a pair of shiny silver trousers for futuristic dress-ups, or a pair of luxurious sweatpants to complete the sporty-chic look.
Delpozo’s wide-legged metallic palazzo pants are perfectly paired with a fitted cropped jacket and flats for a comfortable evening ensemble. We’re also swooning over Markus Lupfer’s new season tapered gold sweatpants.
Grab a clutch with the Midas touch.
Jimmy Choo has a collection of classic gold clutches which work with any evening outfit, or for something a little outside the box, Charlotte Olympia’s Pandora clutch has a golden inner purse encased in a clear acetate outer featuring her signature Swarovski embellished spider clasp. And best of all, it comes with leopard print and black inner purse options for the unlikely event that you should ever tire of gold.
Celebrate fancy footwear.
Nostalgia is rife in the fashion world right now, and many classic trainers have been updated with a modern twist. Vans recently released a rose gold coloured alternative to their classic Old Skools, while Nike has recreated the original Air Max 1 in a rather flashy shade of bronze.
