Bag It: Colorful Metallic Bags September 17th, 2010 By

Bright color metallic bags are a great accessory any time of year.  Shiny, colorful bags pop against neutrals and complement other bold colors.  There’s a glam factor associated with metallics, making it a perfect day to evening accessory, as well.  Here are a few of my standout favorites:

Bag It: Hello Metallic! November 20th, 2009 By

– Staci from HandbagReport.com

Tory Burch Metallic Wristlet, $155

It’s time to replace your black, brown, and tan handbags with a metallic one to instantly transform your look from simple to glam with minimal effort.  Allow me to take a moment to dispel the myth that metallic should be worn only to a formal event.  Since they complement just about everything from a t-shirt to a cocktail dress, metallic accessories are worth the investment.

Choose a medium to large size tote, hobo, or satchel for an everyday bag that is practical and functional.  Since metallics are naturally elegant, you can go straight from work to happy hour or dinner without worrying about whether to switch bags.  If you want to carry a metallic bag on special occasions, consider a clutch or wristlet as a chic alternative to the little sequin or jeweled bag.

Metallic is a trend with staying power because of its versatility.  Women appreciate options within a trend because there is room to express individuality.  Whether you opt for silver, gold, or a bright color metallic, there are plenty of choices that make you want to shout, “goodbye neutrals!”
