Clothes that shimmer and shine are usually reserved for party season glamour in the depths of winter. But this year metallics are a must-have for the sunny summer months too. Be prepared to glisten in gold and sparkle in silver: metallic fever is taking the fashion world by storm.
"As seen on the catwalk and high street, metallics are a strong trend for the summer," says Emily Fleuriot, editor at Fashion Monitor.
"They look great with a tan and can add a harder edge to an otherwise girly summer frock. Metallics is a great trend to buy into."
So get your glitz on. There's no excuse not to shine this season.
Shades to be seen in
If full-on metallic is a bit scary opt for pewter or steel shades like French Connection's Metal Mickey hooded mac, £130, Next's metallic mink puff sleeve top, £30, or Evans' metallic linen dress, £40.
As an extreme contrast go embellished and make a shiny statement for dress-to-impress evenings in Butterfly by Matthew Williamson sequin dress £130 at Debenhams.
Metallic mania
There are always those who want to embrace a trend at full speed. If you're loving the magic properties of metallic, go top-to-toe with a dress or jacket that will brighten even a black aficionado's look.
If you're keen to dabble with metallics in a dress go for Warehouse's silver split sleeve dress, £100 or Wallis' steel acetate satin tunic with jumbo jewels, £65.
Those who prefer to make their mark in a metallic jacket should try River Island's shiny chic metallic leather bomber, £120.
Silver flash
Still feeling scared about silver and gold? The most accessible way to work the metallic look is with on-trend accessories.
Step to it with Georgina Goodman's fabulous gold spot wedges, £45, at Evans. A braver way to access the trend is by making your pins shine with Primark's silver-coloured leggings, £6.
