If you thought that gold and silver were hues best left on the red carpet then think again. Fashion has been indulging in a mild flirtation with metallics over the past season or two, but for spring we're embracing them with serious passion, and this time around we're talking day wear rather than high octane frocks. The most versatile of this season's trends, you can interpret almost every other current look with a metallic twist – futurism, '60s shifts, '80s body con, take your pick. And, seeing as we're aiming for a slightly understated look, muted tones are definitely the classier option whether you opt for a shimmering mini or foil accessories.
