Must Have Accessories for Spring: Metallics
Once the weather gets warm there is one thing I count on to get the most out of my accessories-- Metallics. When it comes to adding metallic accessories to your own wardrobe, it doesn't matter if these metallic accessories are gold or silver. What matters is you take advantage of how versatile these shades are. If you are questioning this, check out easy ways you can add metallic accessories and how much you can do with them.
Instead of grabbing your black handbag, try using a silver or gold handbag, instead. Not only will either of these metallic shades go with whatever you are wearing, from neutral shades, like black, navy and grey, but they will also work with bright prints and colorful outfits. A silver or gold handbag is also a lot lighter and spring looking than a black one. Check out these other handbag shades that are just as versatile as black.
Also consider having a gold or silver clutch on hand that will always work for whatever you are wearing to your next formal event or cocktail party.
Ballerina flats are a staple that many women love and rely on once the weather gets warm. Even if you outfit is incredibly basic, a pair of metallic flats will add some subtle pop while keeping the outfit understated. Additionally, they will go with whatever the rest of your outfit looks like. Try wearing them with a pair of jeans, capri pants or a denim skirt.
Owning a pair of strappy metallic heels is important for a variety of reasons. First, they can add a formal touch to a sheath dress you normally reserve for daytime. Even better is the fact that it doesn't matter what color is the dress is. You can't say that about black shoes for an evening out. Secondly, you can wear them with more than a dress. Use them to jazz up a pair of jeans or for a desk to dinner look when wearing a suit.
Gold or silver jewelry is important to have on hand and probably something you already own. You may have noticed that these pieces go with anything you are wearing. However, this jewelry doesn't have to be boring. Look for gold and silver jewelry in unique shapes and bold pieces. Also consider layering your necklaces and stacking your bracelets. Two big trends for spring.
Like gold or silver ballerina flats, a pair of gold or silver casual sandals definitely have a place in your wardrobe. As the weather gets hotter you will probably want to change out of your flats and into sandals. Keep it casual while adding a touch of polish by looking for flat sandals. Wear them with shorts, try them with printed dresses, khakis or a pair of boyfriend jeans.
