Metallic Dresses

Metallic dresses are one of the hottest and biggest trends of the year. When fashion houses unveiled their collection, from Milan to New York, Paris to Tokyo, metallic dresses ruled the runway. The number of Hollywood’s biggest stars on the red carpet, in their metallic dresses, is another proof that these dresses are hot items. Metallic dresses may come in shades of dark gold, pale gold, silver and bronze, among others.

Why Metallic Dresses are Hot

There is a reason people are obsessed with shimmer and shine. Tastefully designed metallic dresses are perfect epitome of Hollywood glamour, of fame and fortune. A person with sufficient knowledge of the effects of metallic dresses knows that it is a high-profile dress and that there is nothing subtle or discrete about them.

If you wear a metallic dress, then you are well aware that you are bound to make a statement. In fact, if it is your intention to stay off the limelight, it is best if you do not wear them. They are attention-getting articles of clothing meant to awe. This is one of the reasons metallic dresses are hot commodities these days.

Hottest Styles of Metallic Dresses

How do you know if a metallic dress is hot or not? If it graced the red carpet or runway and got the approval of fashion police, then that metallic dress is hot.

One of the styles of metallic dresses that got rave reviews from various fashion experts is the slinky metallic dress. Slinky metallic dresses are suggestive of hidden curves. Unlike figure hugging dresses, they are not blatant in promoting sexuality. They are brash and eye-catching when it comes to the sparkles and shimmers, but they are sedate when it comes to actually showing off the curves. Slinky metallic dresses do not hug curves; they flow through them like liquid mercury to an hourglass. They drape naturally over the body forming an ethereal, sensual silhouette.

Pale colors on metallic dresses are another hot trend. Metallic dresses in pale gold and bronze, and dull silver are in and rightfully so. Muted metallic shade on a dress or a dull, tarnished finish is less flashy and gives the dress a more sophisticated and elegant look.

Accessories to Wear with Metallic Dresses

It is tricky to choose the right accessories for metallic dresses. There is a not so very distinctive line between tacky and tasteful. To avoid crossing the line, remember this one simple rule: when you are wearing something sparkly, it is best not to compete. What this means is you should just be wearing one sparkly item at a time. In this case, you are wearing a sparkly metallic dress.

When choosing accessories, the simpler they are the better. Resist the temptation to don extravagant or flashy jewelry; they will just compete with the dress. Remember—a metallic dress is a statement by itself. The vibrant look of a metallic dress is more than enough to shine. An understated piece, such as a single thin strand of metal that matches the color of your dress, is a good choice. You can also opt for simple earrings. Also, try to stick with one metal at a time. If you are wearing pale gold metallic dress, you should be wearing gold jewelry and nothing else.

Shoes to Wear with Metallic Dresses

Shoes may make or break a metallic dress. No matter how good you carry the dress, if you are wearing the wrong kind of shoes, chances are you will kill the look. Since you already have all the shining, shimmering splendid in your metallic dress, when selecting a pair of shoes, do not go overboard. Go for the simple ones without a lot of embellishments or designs. A good pair of sandals, peep toes or pumps is definitely a good choice. This will certainly tone done the flashiness of a metallic dress. Choose stilettos over platform shoes for a more sophisticated look.

When selecting the color of the shoes, you may want to stick to complementary rather than contrasting. Do not worry about matching. The important thing is the shoes complement the dress and does not take the attention away from the dress.

Other Tips to Look Good in Metallic Dresses

A glowing skin is a perfect complement to a metallic dress. You can get a little sun or use a fake tanner to get the sun-kissed look. As for makeup, subtlety works. You can use shimmery powder and lipstick to give you that glowing look. Apply light blush, and go easy on the eye makeup.
