For those who find themselves with a surplus of silver garb post Beyoncé concert, don’t fret; your surplus is surprisingly timely. Last month, the queen herself requested that her fans don silver ensembles for her performances in celebration of her birthday and the larger Virgo season—and the beyhive listened. We’d now like to request that showgoers don’t toss their sequin skirts in the trash. Our counterargument consists of a few unusually practical outfit formulas courtesy of the Spring ‘24 runway collections where metallics ran rampant. Ahead, we’ll break down three ways to mix those party pieces in with your everyday staples.
White Blazer + Printed Sweater + Silver Shorts
Though Grace Wales Bonner has embraced silver with a recent Adidas collaboration, that’s not the only silhouette she’s entertained. Her Spring ‘24 collection featured these lamé shorts in a number of looks. In this particular ensemble, we love how she mixed the metallics with a colorful sweater and neutral blazer.
Silver Shirt + Blazer + Leggings
At emerging label Fforme, the designers championed a mostly neutral palette. They did, however, pepper exciting pops throughout like this glimpse of silver glitter via a layered top. Contrast yours with an oversized black blazer and leggings for extra comfort and don’t forget your everyday eyewear. Come fall, swap the thong sandals for a pair of black brogues or derby shoes.
Layered T-Shirts + Sequin Skirt + White Flats
Don’t let a sequin skirt intimidate you. Here, N°21 proves you can tone it down with the addition of easy layering staples: a white tank and a v-neck long-sleeved T-shirt. Add a pair of pointed-toe flats to keep the ladylike energy flowing in abundance.
