Trend alert: Silver

You could chalk it up to Beyoncé's viral Renaissance tour, or that silver adds glamour to any wardrobe. We are celebrating the silver trend right now. Style director Louise Hilsz gives a lesson in what's hot in this cool colour.

Hilsz says silver is one of the most versatile neutrals, and it is hot right now. The sheen adds a touch of glamour and modernity to both casual and more formal fashion looks. It’s also an easy-to-war neutral that works on all skin tones and complements many other shades. Worn during the day, it elevates denim, grey, and white, especially as an accessory with silver jewellery and shoes. To make a style statement, wear it with a bolder palette of indigo, purple or burgundy colours. Silver has a sleek and futuristic vibe, which can appeal to any style, especially if you want to make a bold fashion statement.
