9 sensational silver looks to rock this party season

One of biggest fashion trends of 2023 has gone stratospheric as the end of the year approaches – silver is the shade to be seen in this festive season.

What started on the spring/summer catwalks with glitzy gowns at Dolce & Gabbana, Gucci, Jason Wu and Georgia Hardinge, went into overdrive with the arrival of Beyonce’s Renaissance World Tour.

Fans followed suit, donning sequin-covered and metallic outfits to attend the show (it helped that the shops were full of catwalk-inspired designs all summer long).

Now, the festive fashion collections have landed, and they’re awash with shimmering silver pieces that are perfect for partying.

If it’s a sparkly frock you’re after, you’re spoilt for choice, with everything from bright, Beyonce-worthy sequinned minidresses, to midi and wrap styles in more muted tones.

Teamed with a black top and blazer (glitzy heels are optional), we predict these shiny separates will come in handy next summer too.

For a sophisticated take on the trend, anchor your outfit around a gunmetal silver maxi skirt or wide-leg trousers, adding a satin blouse or strappy top.
