Welcome back to the 12 Months of Thrifting Challenge! This month’s prompt is: Metallics.
Metallics are a great way to add some shine to your outfits. Metallic textures are often associated with formal wear, but from suits to shoes, you can easily incorporate this metallic theme into your everyday outfits.
When I’m thrifting at Goodwill, I always find both new and vintage metallic pieces. Not sure how to wear this trend? Don’t worry! Every month we share three “levels” to wear the challenge theme, ranging from mild to bold. Here’s your thrift check list, based on your comfort level:
Mild Metallics: add these items to your thrift wish list if you need some time to warm up to this trend, or you just want to add a pop of metallics to your outfits:
- Sunglasses
- Loafers
- Sneakers
- Clutch bags
Medium Metallics: if you love a little extra shine in your life, hunt for these items next time you’re at Goodwill:
- Blazers
- Blouses
- Sweaters
- Moto Jackets
- Heels
- Boots
“Spicy” Metallics: want to really shine? Try these bolder metallics!
- Maxi skirts
- Suits
- Maxi dresses
- Pants
- Coats
Be sure to share how you wear your metallics with us using the tag #12MonthsofThrifting
Happy thrifting!
