Edgy and chic at the same time: The metallic look is becoming increasingly popular in the fashion world and is no longer limited to high fashion. When combined correctly, clothing and bags with metallic elements bring more glam into everyday life and can be used elegantly or make conservative styling look more modern.

Make your street style shimmer and emphasize your attractive curves with metallic-look pieces. ZOÉ LU bags in a gold or silver style can be worn with your outfits like cool costume jewelry, allowing you to replace layered necklaces and bracelets with casual accessories.

Glam Up: The Perfect Way to Wear the Metallic Look

Which metallic look suits you best depends heavily on your skin type. Cool skin tones make the red undertones of your skin appear more pronounced with gold. If you are rather pale, you will look more vibrant in a metallic style in gold or rose gold.

Conversely, if you have a rosy complexion, you can add more coolness to your look with a silver metallic outfit. Your perfect metallic outfit starts with a metallic-look trend piece as an eye-catcher.

This could be a blouse with a metallic pattern or a shiny skirt. Combined with understated colors and natural animal prints, metallic styling is elegantly grounded.

Metallic Glamour: 5 Tips for a Spectacular Outfit

Few people dare to wear metallic fashion when styling casual street looks. Metallic is no longer just a color for disco nights or the catwalk. With a few tricks, you can also make casual styles fashionable with metallic elements:

1. Metallic Must-Have: Style Your Bag for the Ultimate Look

Bags with metallic appliqués make outfits shine and set chic styles apart from the basic line. Style your outfit in a futuristic, Berlin-like way with our Satelite Love changeable flap, which can be combined with the ZOÉ LU Day Buddy, Big Best Buddy and Best Buddy.

The elegant bag style for metallic looks also represents a side of Berlin where understatement is understood as a sign of nonchalance. Our KINDA SUBTLE changeable flap with a soft glitter effect shimmers subtly only when it catches the light.

You can glam up your ZOÉ LU Best Buddy, Big Buddy or Day Buddy Main Bag gracefully and subtly with the changeable flap.

2. Shiny Vibes: How to Play with Different Shades

With glittering, matte and shimmering metallic elements, you can create a glamorous tone-on-tone style and wear the color-blocking style like a superstar. The clearer and shinier the metallic effect, the more sharply the piece stands out from the rest of the outfit. 

3. Why You Should Avoid Mixing Metallics

Mixing gold, silver, platinum and rose gold is bold and doesn't suit every outfit. When you use eye-catchers in different metallic tones, it can overwhelm the eye.

Fashion Tip: To avoid visual overload, you should choose a maximum of two metallic tones to guide the eye. Earrings, necklaces and bracelets should be coordinated and match the metallic piece.

Your bag is an exception: you can use it as a color-block element and mix it with other metallic elements if you're aiming for an urban glam style.

4. Pastel Power: Combine Soft Tones with Your Metallic Look

Pastel shades skillfully round off eye-catching styles. You can also wear a metallic-shimmering bag as a cool accessory with a sweet outfit featuring white sneakers and a summer dress.

Pink tones harmonize with gold just as well as with silver. You can also combine mint green, lemon yellow and lilac patterns with all metallic colors. Metallic elements and a leather jacket turn your rural brunch outfit into an urban street style.

5. Keep it Simple: Less Is More

Metallic fashion is similar to animal prints, glitter and other eye-catching fashion elements: less is more! This means you don't need more than one metallic piece for a glamorous outfit if you style it correctly.

To bring less of a festival feeling and more glam style to your outfit, you should avoid showing too much skin and wear basics made from high-quality materials with your metallic style. 

Conclusion

When styled correctly, the shimmering metallic look isn't just for New Year's Eve parties or disco nights. With high-quality metallic fashion, you bring the necessary chic to your casual style.

For work, going out in the city and chic date-night outfits, the metallic look is just right this year. If you're one of the women who has never dared to wear metallics, the easiest way to try the look this fashion season is with a metallic bag as a statement piece.

Match high-quality metallic pieces to the look of your bag and you'll master the style like a fashion pro!
