There’s never really a time when metallics aren’t in fashion, it’s just a question of how you wear them and how much of them you wear.
If you want to go full on festive metallics then opt for garments that are just exactly that ‘full metallic’ but if you’re scared of looking more ‘glam rock’ than glam, then use metallics to enhance an outfit made up of plainer block colours.
Black and gold, and silver and white are classic metallic style combinations, but also think about rose gold or copper with black, or white and pastel pink and peach shades.
