Welcome to the third
instalment of our SS17 fashion guide! It’s time for an old favourite, a passe
partout and a key colour trend influencing Pepper Alley designs season after
season. You’ve guessed it, it’s time to chat metallics and from silvers and
gold to the brassy rose gold hues, we’ve got them all covered!
A common misconception
surrounding metallics? The notion that they’re only suitable for evening wear.
On the contrary, metallic detailing adds a touch of contemporaneity to any
outfit whilst remaining bold yet elegant enough for day and office wear. Take a
leaf out of the books of the likes of Jonathan Anderson and Loewe and pair
metallics with your office wear in an unashamedly bold and anti comformational
fashion like a true #GIRLBOSS.
Want to have your (metallic) cake and eat it too? Combine
two of the biggest SS17 trends and pair metallics with brights (which we
discussed in this post). After all, brights are a metallic’s best friend and
their pairing always results in an inevitably fresh and vibrant ensemble
perfect for injecting some weekend glamour into your wardrobe. Our tip? Add extra glamour to a total bright look with a silver tote.
Think metallics merely
revolve around the tones of silver and gold? Think again! Most shades
work well in their metallic form and are perfect for creating a sports - luxe city
vibe. Tired of Peter Pan collars and fairytale inspiration dominating the
catwalk this SS17? Make like an urban princess at Chanel's SS17 show and toughen up your look with a metallic jumpsuit. Alternatively, for a statement that isn’t quite so bold, pair a
monochrome jumpsuit with a metallic clutch and let the our Peacock Blue lining
do the talking!
Our ultimate tips when it comes to metallics? It's all down to taking note from the past (rose gold remains very popular, just ask the instagram crowd!) and appreciating that good things come in small packages (like our Claras, the mini metallic clutches ideal to store your phone, keys and money for a night out!)
Happy Holiday Shopping!
Love,
