The metallic trend comes around every so often, but this spring’s take is versatile and fun. Eye-catching metallics can be worked into your everyday wear or left for a super special occasion. Try a silver sheen, a golden glisten or a bold pop of color for those that wouldn’t dare to go unnoticed. Here are a few ways to make the metallic trend work for you.
