STYLE GURU STYLE: Metallic Kicks

With the last few days of rain coming to an end, the time to bring out those new pair of shoes in the back of the closet is now! Metallic pieces are definitely trending this summer and what better way to up the glam this season than to pull out your favorite metallic statement pieces. Drawing inspiration from designers like Markus Lupfer, Richard Nicoll and Emilio de la Morena’s collection has been rewarding in the sense that it’s good to know metallic accessories are no longer confined to the winter season. The once ‘80s ensemble can now make a dull outfit fun with the combination of a shiny, chic metallic add-on.

This Fashionisto has the right idea pairing platinum sneakers with black denim jeans to help contrast his look without overdoing it. The plain gray, cotton t-shirt balanced out perfectly with the overall aesthetic of the outfit and I’m a die-hard for anything denim so that (along with the metallic kicks) caught my eye. Adding a metallic accessory is a great way to change up your day to day look and make you look fashion-forward. The best way to wear it is to keep it simple in an effort not to overdo it and this Fashionisto definitely conquered bringing runway to the streets.

Great street-style can be difficult to accomplish but with striking, easy-to-wear metallic pieces turning an old outfit into a new one is as simple as one, two, three. But everything in moderation, whether it’s a bold paisley pattern, colorful stripes, silver clutch, or a glossy gold metallic dress keeping it to a minimum is key and don’t overload too much of anything.

Get My Look: 1. A plain solid top. 2. Black denim jeans. 3. Metallic kicks.
