A metallic dress is the most efficient party outfit in existence. Put it on, add heels, done. The dress has handled everything. We love a metallic for any occasion that requires you to look like you’ve made an effort because the fabric does the work entirely on its own. Gold, silver, bronze, and some of the more interesting mixed metallic options we’ve been seeing lately. These are the ones with the right drape and the right shimmer to look properly glamorous rather than like a Christmas decoration.
