Trend: Metallic Heels

Metallics have been a strong trend of late, seen in everything from dresses to bags to belts. Over the past few weeks we've seen a lot of celebrities stepping out in metallic heels, suggesting that the trend is nearing its peak.


Lindsay Lohan; Cameron Diaz wears metallic heels by Sergio Rossi; Victoria Beckham in her Christian Louboutins.

The beauty of this trend is its ability to liven up an outfit which might otherwise be rather dull. It's worth remembering not to overdo the trend though and stick to one or two metallic pieces per outfit. There are plenty of designer versions out there at the moment - ranging from platforms to stillettos to wedges, and in both closed-toe and sandal styles.


Clockwise from left: Christian Louboutin Super Metallic Pumps; Miu Miu Bi-colour Metallic Pumps; Marc Jacobs Perspex Heel Slingbacks; Jimmy Choo Hep Platform Sandals; Marc by Marc Jacobs Metallic Bar Sandals; Marni Wooden Block Pumps. All available at Net-a-Porter.

What's your take on the metallic heels trend, and how long do you think it will last?

There aren't too many alpha-females out there and, though she might deny it, Tania certainly exudes their qualities. A keen eye, a focused approach, and a wardrobe spanning three rooms have made her one of the savviest of dressers. But it's not all couture for Tania, earning her fashionista credentials she'll frequently be seen on the town in a one-off, vintage dress and a pair of Gucci heels. She says: Vintage will never go out of style We say: Does that include vintage 80s?
