The days are getting shorter, the weather is getting colder, but that’s no reason to stop shining. This season, we dare to adopt the lamé/metallic trend without (any) moderation. Focus on 30 pieces that we unearthed for you to take the plunge.
If it has been on the small papers of the fashion popes for a while, the metallic (or lamé) trend is finding itself an increasingly popular place in various and varied dressing rooms. But what exactly do we mean by the metallic or lamé trend? The lamé is this sparkling color, obtained when a fabric thread is simply surrounded by metal threads. This technique generally offers a gold or silver color but fashion being what it is, we also find pink, green, orange lamé… In short, all colors! This is one of the fall/winter 2022-2023 trends to adopt.
Metallic or lamé trend, a story that is not new
We owe this trend to the time when disco reigned supreme on the runways and dressing rooms. In the golden age of disco, the must was to have fully laminated outfits, pulling on flashy and totally assumed colors. If today the full disco look may seem a little old-fashioned, we still take the basics: sparkling and showy, to match the current trend. This trend requires daring to be worn as a total look. For those who love it but don’t really dare to take it on, we start with small touches on accessories such as a handbag, shoes or even jewelry.
How to adopt the lamé and metallic trend?
To avoid too much we put on a casual style. If the lamé is found on the shoes, we will wear it with raw denim jeans, accompanied by a gray, white, black or camel sweater depending on the color of the shoes in question. The idea is to break the overly catchy side of this color with these more neutral pieces, to suit more an everyday look. If the lamé is on a garment then it will be a question of softening the whole with discreet accessories. It’s all about balance, but you can also overdo it if that’s what you prefer, after all fashion has no codes.
