We are going nuts over metallic pants and we’re not the only ones. This Fall 2011 trend was see on many a runway, in collections by Marc Jacobs, Versace and Alexander Wang to name just a few.
But how do you go from the runway to the real world with this fabulous trend? Keep it classy and on the casual with clean figure-flattering fits – choose a skinny fit without added embellishments that could take the trend from chic to gauche.
Elle Macpherson wears the trend with perfect style and ease. Her choice of Rag & Bone’s five pocket midrise skinny pant in a light grey fabric that is completely covered with a glimmer of silver metallic are to die for! The silver is very chic and understated — it gleams rather than shines. Amazing! Pair the pants with a soft wool knit top and your favorite ankle booties for a polished fresh look.
Here are some great styles in a variety of price points to get on this amazing new trend:
