Catch The Sun's Rays With Metallic Accents!
by Ida Hsiang
Metallic accents are stylish year-round, but especially perfect for summer styles because the shiny surfaces only help to reflect the sunny day more, giving you added glitz without being over the top. Be careful to use it in small doses however, because while metallic accents can be used more abundantly in colder months, they do add heaviness to an ensemble, calling for more sparing usage in the hot summer season. Add a little shine to your day with a pretty and practical tote or pair of flats. Got a summer shindig in your future? Try a dress or romper in a more matte finish, or sling on an extra fancy purse. Gold and bronze hues help add a glow to warm skin tones and really plays up that tan you've been working on. Or for fairer skin, try a lighter sheen like silver or metallic white. Too predictable? Metallics in fun, unexpected colors add a pop of interest and unique style to any summer outfit. However you choose to wear your metallics - running errands, cutting a rug or at the beach - check out some favorite metallic accessories and pieces from Stylehive members like you!
