Metallics: Will We Be Wearing It or Just Glaring at It?

Ana- A new fashion trend has given us permission to look like disco queens during the day. Metallics are back! The question is how will this vieja wear it?

At my age I am not going for the astronaut or Oscar look. A touch of metallic goes a long way. Even if you do not own any metallic color garments; a metallic lip is sure to impress.

Do not have a metallic lipstick? No problem, resort to the good old hack of using eye shadow or bronzer on your lips.

When it comes to metallics the styling is of most importance. You can get the metallic look using things you may already have. Bronze eye shadow, a silver belt, a piece of jewelry or a gold color top. Silver tops can accentuate the silver strands in our hair.

Even a funky manicure can add to the look.

Viejas, lets melt and shimmer under the summer sun.

Corina- metallic fashion trends have been popular since the 1930’s and have never completely gone away. Metallics were very popular in the 70s during the Disco Era and became huge in the 80s. They also had a moment around 2013-14, resurfaced in 2023 and are a must for 2024. I have worn the metallic trend every time. I love that silver, gold, bronze and other metallics are neutrals. They can be paired with almost any color and other neutrals. They can be worn day or night. When it comes to accessories, shoes or bags they go with any outfit. I have never worn metallics head to toe. Instead, I wear one piece or a couple of accessories to complement my outfit. Also, when it comes to the metallic look, I favor the matt/satin finish versus the brilliant one. Although I will confess to wearing shiny, sparkly silver nail polish and loving my “disco ball” sneakers.
