    Limit the use of metallics. Metallic fashions make a bold statement in an outfit, and it's best to use them minimally. Carry a metallic handbag, or wear a belt around a dress or pair of slacks.

  2. Step 2

    Keep the metallic to the slimmest part of the body. The light reflection will grab attention. If you have a tiny waist, wear a metallic belt around it. Wear a top with metallic embellishments around the neckline to show off cleavage. Don't wear a metallic skirt if your rear is big.

    Choose between gold and silver. Silver can look wonderful and flattering on light skin tones, while gold complements warmer complexions better.

    Wear a colored metallic. Wear a colored metallic headband, bracelet or shoes. It is best to keep the colors the same and only mix and match textures. Try to match the color exactly. If wearing a blue sweater, try a metallic blue headband of the same color.

    Wear metallic shoes. This is maybe the safest way to introduce metallics to a wardrobe. Try silver shoes with a grey outfit, or gold shoes with a black outfit.
