Now I am usually one who dresses in solids or nice, relaxed patterns but one cannot ignore the rising trend of flashy, metallic fabrics. By metallic I don’t strictly mean silvery matherials; designers are turning everyday colored materials, making them shine and putting out new interesting designs. This adds a whole new element to a dress or skirt or even a purse. This new sense of flare spices up the runways, red carpets,and streets giving women a new way to make their clothes and themselves stand out in a crowd.
