How to wear... Summer metallics

WITH summer on its way, there has never been a better time to update your wardrobe with some pretty, shimmering metallics.

This is an easy trend to try as you can incorporate it into your look as little or as much as you like.

I love this longline blazer from Topshop. Not only is it a great statement piece that will dress up any outfit, it is also perfect for the cooler evenings.

If you prefer to start small, add an accessory in a soft pastel hue such as this rose gold cross-body bag from LK Bennett. Finally, don’t be scared to mix your metals. Try teaming gold with silver or rose gold with bronze for a look that will really sparkle.
