Every fashion maven follows a certain set of rules as to always be on point, whether she’s just going to the supermarket or she’s headed to a fancy night out. But with fashionable ascension comes great responsibility and a few golden rules.

The Metallic fever has been present on the scene for quite some time now, but this Fall, the trend has reached new heights and we’re going to have to make it work in order to survive. Metallics can be used on accessories, from shoes to bags and on your clothes. But whatever you do, you must not over-do it, and here’s how:

Do pair a metallic top with some denim jeans and a cute blazer for a more classy-meets-stylish look.

Do opt for a metallic midi skirt you can lavishly pair with a solid tank top and some savvy pumps.

Don’t go all metallic and wear it from head to toe; aliens have yet to prove their existence!

Don’t pair a metallic top or bottom with a bright color; the metallic trend is very flashy as it is.

Do get yourself a cute metallic handbag- be it a cross-bag or a tote.

Do add a metallic jacket to a black-on-black outfit, as to break the ice.

But most importantly, if you’re wearing a metallic dress, please don’t pair it with metallic pumps and whatever you do, choose a classy high neckline!
