Asos silver t-shirt
Metallics have crept into our consciousness as one of the coolest trends around; a flash of silver or gold is instantly eye-catching and elegant at the same time. Metallic fashion needs to be approached with caution, using classic shapes and good fabrics – we are not advising anyone breaks out a silver lycra unitard anytime soon. Metallic accessories can transform an everyday outfit into something quite special, while a simple silver shift dress can be surprisingly versatile. Embrace your inner magpie, because we reckon the time is right to let your wardrobe shine (sorry, we couldn’t help it!)
Picture: This bold update on the classic tee shirt is a great way to bring metallics to your wardrobe. It might look a little bit sci-fi, but as long as you balance it with a simple pair of skinny black trousers or a maxi skirt, you won’t be mistaken for an extra from Star Trek!
