Metallic will not be usually a factor I take into consideration in relation to my fall wardrobe. Instead I’m centered on fake fur or pony hair—textures that really feel cozy. But the way in which Liang had the skirt styled actually modified my perspective. The mannequin was carrying open-toed sandals, which I’ve retired for the season, but additionally the right pink sweater layered over a collared shirt. From the knee up, this was a glance I wished to stay in for the remainder of the season.
It made me understand the worth of including a little bit of shimmer to an ordinary fall look. The contrasting components and textures play so properly off each other with out feeling like one thing picked out of a vacation catalog. The metallic can assist carry one thing sudden to a glance whereas additionally making an ordinary sweater-and-shirt combo, which is actually a bit stuffy, fairly enjoyable.
It’s additionally a glance that is been performed on many a ’90s Miu Miu runway. A metallic, shimmery skirt simply provides an effortlessly cool essence immediately that feels prefer it’s from many years previous. I’ve been seeing it quite a bit throughout New York, too. People are out and about carrying metallic pleated skirts like Liang’s or related glitter or sequined choices and layering them with chunky sweaters and scarves or leather-based jackets. And it is definitely about to change into my fall uniform from right here on out.
