A metallic skirt is one of those pieces that makes everything else in an outfit’s job considerably easier. The shimmer and the light catching quality of a metallic fabric does enough visual work that everything above and below it can be kept relatively simple. A black top. A simple shirt. Plain heels or even trainers. These are the metallic skirts we’ve been reaching for. The ones that look properly glamorous rather than like you’ve wrapped yourself in foil. There is a significant difference.
