Well if the Olympic summer of 2012 was all about bronze, silver and gold, this is the year to dazzle in metallic colour.
Think high-gloss tones of purple, green, blue and orange that practically reflect in the sun. Style’s Quality Street moment, if you will.
Traditional metals have received a shimmering update, thanks to the likes of catwalk trend-setters Burberry Prorsum, Dior and Emporio Armani, who sent foil, iridescent and holographic finishes down the runways.
The lustrous effect can be toned down with light pastel hues, so experiment with different colours to find your perfect metal match.
Time to polish up your look and take metallics to the max.
