Fashion: Marvellous metallics

This Valentine’s swap traditional red for sparkle and shine, says Emma Gordon

5 top tips for wearing metallics:

1) If you find shiny clothing too adventurous, embrace the tones in shoes or accessories. Metallics add dimension and light to your outfit.

2) Don’t save metallic colours for evening, wear silver and gold with chunky knits and denim to create a more daytime feel.

3) Mix yellow gold, silver and rose gold together for a decadent look. Statement bracelets or necklaces worn along side each other look fab.

4) Ladies, for a subtle sprinkle of metallic in your wardobe look for sparkly socks or tights, they enhance a day or evening outfit and are a great alternative to black opaque.

5) Gents, you can enjoy metallic too. If shiny trousers are not your thing, try a more subtle look by choosing metallic accessories. Alternatively, look out for knits shot with silver or gold through the yarn, or shirts and ties with a bit of sparkle in the threads.
