Metallics are always popular for the holidays, but this season we’re bound to see them travel with us into the new year. From fall runways to the Spring 2022 shows, we saw enough silver and gold to dazzle us all. While we decided to pair this trend with an oversized trench silhouette for today’s project, there are dozens of other ways that you can add metallics to your wardrobe for winter. Let’s take a look at some fabulous looks and a few equally fabulous free sewing patterns to pair with them!

All-Out-Glam
When it comes to metallics, you may as well go big or go home! I strongly recommend pairing this loud trend with full-length looks like sheath dresses, blazers, or full-on suits.

Toned-Down Separates
Do you like the look of the metallic, but don’t want to be super glam all the time. Here are some simple ways to stay on trend without being too loud. One way is to pair a metallic piece with a non-metallic piece, like a silver top and a simple denim skirt. Another way is to have a silver top, then opt for a black, khaki, and or navy pant! Want to toe the line? Try a tiered dress, but try it underneath some layers!
