Whether you prefer a pair of sneakers, sandals, heels or boots, statement metallic detailing adds an eye-catching and futuristic feel to your look. Here’s how to take your first fashion-forward step into the metallic trend:
Versatility meets extravagance
On contrary to popular opinion, one of the most remarkable aspects of the metallic footwear is its versatility. These eye-catchers can seamlessly be integrated into both casual and formal looks, making them a must-have for any fashion-forward individual.
For a casual daytime outfit, consider pairing metallic sneakers with jeans and a t-shirt.

A colour spectrum…
Metallics are not just limited to silver and gold, though. Designers are experimenting with metallic shades of colour.
From rose gold and copper to iridescent blues and holographic pinks, a mix of colourful metallic footwear options allow you to pick and choose the perfect hue to match your personal style. These playful and vibrant tones inject a sense of fun and creativity into your footwear collection.
