The Best Metallic Accessories to Glow All Summer
The Best Metallic Accessories to Glow All Summer
It is hard to overstate the power of great metallic accessories. Not only do they match full everything (no more switching between the black purse and the tan one, hello), but they also add a glint of fun to an outfit. A pair of silver sandals works effortlessly with a pair of wide-legged jeans and a white button-up as well as a black evening gown, and a gold purse sets off a linen shift for the office just as easily as a caftan for weekday cocktails. See? All of your summer outfits are instantly simplified with these shimmering options. Sparkle in one of our favorite metallic accessories this season, below.
