As long as it's not all sequins, I'm all for some shine. Loving these bold new textures emerging, not only shiney ones but just in general. Great thread, Softgrey!!!

So how long is metallic going to last? It's been here for quite a while, hasn't it? I think some designers are using it so people look past the flaws of the garments. Shine makes everything desirable.

if by "quite a while" you mean, like, decades, then yeah i think this new way of wearing shine/metallic, paired with a thick chunky knit or something that is matte/not shiny is a really fresh way of doing this.

and i love it! i've always been a big fan of this and having all these new ideas is really going to be fun.

 

[softgrey]

^^ agreed .f
it's the combo of hard/shiny and soft/cozy that is the real trend here

i don't know chrissy some of those-- like the sinha stanic---are just shiny...
not shiny and soft...

they might be better suited to the thread if it was just about metallics or something...

that aquascutum one is dead on though...

great picks .f

 

[ChrissyM]

yeah i was a bit iffy about including them but figured i'd just throw them in...

i was a little iffy on that one too believe it or not!
i figured i'd include it mostly because of the shininess of the gloves.. they almost look like they're attached to the coat..

and i actually just posted that coat and a bunch of other looks from burberry in the zip me up thread
