One of the big trends on the runway this season is metallics–but not the basic gold or bronze hues of the past! Designers are taking their love of all things metal one step further, and are incorporating actual metal in their collections. Studs are on everything: bags (like the new Coach handbag pictured above), shoes, skirts, sunglasses, and even hairclips (like in Botega Veneta’s newest collection).
This trend is coming hand-in-hand with another big one for fall: biker chic. Look for leather jackets and knee-high black boots to complete your outfit, if you really want to go the whole nine yards with it. Personally, I would stick to one or two items from this trend (bag OR jacket OR shoes) and then I would pair the selection with some neutral basics, a few layers of silver necklaces, some smoky eye makeup, and call it a day. The key to working any trend is to play it up and not let anything else in your ensemble upstage it.
What do you think of the new studs trend?
