Shimmer In Style With These Luxury Metallic Dresses

There aren’t many items of clothing that make a statement quite like metallic dresses can. As early as the 1920’s and 30’s, women were wearing these iconic, luxurious looking gowns. Today’s looks may be cut into more modern silhouettes but the fact remains that we absolutely adore metallic dresses. From mini dresses to full-length gowns, this elegant, time honoured trend has something to offer every woman.

Metallic Dresses That Are Perfect For Party Season

Party season is almost upon us and metallic dresses will ensure you’re perfectly stylish for every event you attend. The draped velvet mini dress by Balenciaga introduces golden metallic flecks to luxurious black velvet. This is a stunning combination and the shimmery finish is absolutely ideal for holiday parties. The unique wrapped neckline and crossover mini skirt manipulate the fabric in a way that cleverly enhances its metallic shine. This volume is balanced out beautifully by the straight, fitted full sleeves. This dress also offers a built-in bodysuit which ensures this dress is perfectly form fitting to the wearer.

Should your event require more formal attire, opt for the pleated rose gold halter neck gown by Luisa Beccaria. This gown is simply breathtaking and sure to draw the attention of the entire room. The silk fabric of the pleated skirt is so lightweight that is falls beautifully and effortlessly to the ground. The elegant halterneck and defined waist promise a shapely yet delicate silhouette whilst the fabric delicately shimmers under the light.

Metallic Dresses Are More Than Silver And Gold

When we think of metallic dresses, of course, silver and gold primarily spring to mind. These are beautiful options of course but many metallic dresses are available in more colourful shades that are wonderfully unique. Try for example the Kate ruffle slip pomegranate dress by Loveshackfancy. The full maxi length is dramatic whilst the velvet back bow and pomegranate-pink colour keeps it fun and contemporary.

For a shorter alternative, slip into the Scarlett, brown printed mini dress by Free People. The elegant boat neckline and smocked bodice perfectly offset the playful flounced mini skirt and voluminous sleeves. This dress is ideal for the season ahead and looks incredible when styled with minimal makeup and gold accessories.
