Straddling both the Sportswear and Under the Sea trends, silver is set to be a wardrobe staple for Spring/ Summer 2012.
More grunge redux than 70s disco diva, shimmering and sheeny silver metallics look best when paired with laid-back, simple basics.
Opt for one key piece as the focus of your outfit – and let it shine – choose a marl grey t-shirt tucked into a glossy pencil skirt, we’re loving the Karl Safa version, £325, a la Giles or a statement steel-y form-fitting jacket with skinny dark denim jeans as seen at Theory.
If all-out-silver feels too high-shine for high-summer segue into silver with this racer-back from Topshop which will steel (!?) the limelight paired with neutral pieces, or simply opt for silver-plated accessories instead.
KG Kurt Geiger Brandi, £140, silver-capped stilettos or the steel-y matte Leather Triangle Grab Bag from ASOS, £36 will add a classic, metallic element to any outfit.
