Some people are partial to shiny and rustling fabrics, others consider them bad manners of the fashion world, suitable only for fancy dress. Both are right in their own way - metallic fabrics are an extravaganza, a challenge, shocking and always a holiday. But that’s why holidays are holidays, so as not to be repeated every day, but to please us only occasionally - this is their value. Fortunately, this only partially applies to metallic skirts; we will tell you what to wear sparkling skirts with every day so that you don’t look flashy and vulgar, but stylish and attractive!
When is a shiny skirt in style?
Shiny, metallic fabrics are not the most common option for an everyday wardrobe. Many fashionistas refuse them for obvious reasons: it’s easy to overdo it with glitter and lurex. The metallic trend is characterized by the glorious 80s, which have not left us for several seasons, the no less glorious 70s - the heyday of incendiary disco, as well as fashion from the distant 60s - the time of widespread fascination with Space. Therefore, if you are creating a retro look, we say “yes” to shimmer and lurex.
The appropriateness of a metallic skirt and the answer to the question of what to wear it with depend on the degree of gloss - how much it dazzles and shimmers. Moderate shine or individual lines of lurex are quite acceptable in office models, myriads of rhinestones or sequins, glitter that blinds the eyes - an option for going out and themed parties a la the Oscars.
As for the style of the rustling skirt, the trend, as in previous seasons, is the circle skirt, wrap models, pleating, office style has been seriously and permanently occupied by the pencil skirt.

Midi
Midi today is considered the most optimal length, suitable for both girls and mature women. Elegant and beautiful skirts just below the knees allow you to create spectacular looks in any style. Among the fashionable models are pencil, sun and half-sun, straight with a cut, year, with a wrap, with a peplum, etc.
To the floor
Yellow floor-length skirts are available in numerous models to suit every taste. They can be straight, flared, pleated, corrugated, yearned, wrapped, have a simple, trapezoidal or intricate asymmetrical cut.
Long skirts fit perfectly into an evening look, but can also be used as part of an everyday style, as a spectacular item that emphasizes a light summer mood.
Skirts made of metallic fabrics: who is suitable and what to wear with them
We suggest you figure out how shiny and iridescent fabrics are made. Both the material itself can shine, for this it is coated with a thin layer of metallic coating or created from metallized threads (in which case the shine will not go away over time), as well as the sequins sewn on it. The last case is the choice of cocktail parties and holiday looks. In everyday life, such models look good on young girls, combining them with plain sweatshirts and sports shoes. But a sequin skirt adds volume to the hips, so owners of cool female shapes should avoid it.
A shiny translucent skirt that allows you to show off your slender legs can be a real wardrobe provocateur. Light patterns on fabric, prints, polka dots, stripes, lurex are welcome. Adult fashionistas should treat glitter in looks with extreme caution and wear skirts with lurex to themed events or choose models that sparkle not completely, but only along the border. The main rule: a bow with a skirt made of metallic fabric is worn with a restrained and monochromatic top, so that there is no excess of shine, and the image does not look overloaded and heavy.
It may seem strange, but shiny skirts of different lengths are actively used to create sports chic looks. An iridescent pleated skirt, a plain sweater or sweatshirt, sneakers, a leather backpack - a youthful and slightly controversial sports look is ready!
Color features: who suits a yellow skirt
Just a couple of years ago, the undoubted favorite among shades was Millennial Pink, which gradually turned into a cliché. It was replaced by yellow color. Girls show fashionable clothes in various shades - French mustard, autumn foliage, rich lemon, honey, pineapple.
You can increasingly see the color yellow in the collections of famous designers - Tory Burch, Marques'Almeida, Jacquemus, Nina Ricci, where it is present not only on outerwear and accessories, but also on dresses, trousers and, of course, skirts.
According to psychologists, yellow is chosen by self-confident, active, purposeful individuals who clearly understand what they want to get from life. Yellow clothes can be used for interviews, business negotiations, obtaining a visa at the embassy and other situations in which it is very important to form a favorable opinion about yourself.
Stylists say that a yellow skirt suits all women without exception, regardless of age and social status. However, there are some nuances, knowledge of which will help you avoid annoying stylistic mistakes.
To look perfect, you need to be more careful when choosing a style and texture, and also look for your own individual shade that suits your type of appearance.
- Girls with a cool color type should go for a lemon shade.
- From warm to classic yellow.
- In addition, ladies over 30 should not choose bright shades like Pikachu’s color, it will not look too presentable; discreet ones, for example, Ceylon yellow, look much better on them.
Harmonious combinations: what to wear with a gold skirt
If we organize a kind of rating of metallized fabrics, then gold will be the one that wins (sorry for the tautology). Golden shimmer on the skirt is associated with sunlight and warmth, and therefore is most often chosen by fashionistas of all ages. A golden skirt can be worn with things in black, white, beige, sand colors (T-shirts, T-shirts, sweatshirts) and with denim shirts. Light gold looks great in summer looks, and dark gold, the so-called “old” gold, is suitable for creating red carpet looks.
For an 80's rock star or diva look, pair a sparkly skirt with a leather biker jacket. Red lipstick, bright eye shadow, and a bouffant hairstyle will complete the look. Even more options for what to wear with a gold skirt are in the photo below.
What to wear with a silver skirt
Those who don’t really like gold will probably be interested in silver – the steel shimmer looks cosmic and a little mystical. What to wear with a silver skirt? Nude tops and T-shirts go well with the iridescent steel; if you want to create an office outfit, throw a bolero or jacket on top, pick up beautiful pumps, preferably patent leather ones.
A silver pleated skirt or a tight leather pencil skirt looks great. Striped sweaters, light shirts, sweaters in gray, pink, and soft blue shades harmonize with the latter. Oversized sweatshirts and leather jackets will also be an excellent continuation of the “silver” story. And remember, metallic will help dilute the notorious minimalism of modern looks, so wear a silver skirt with pleasure, especially if you are young and young!
Fashionable looks
We hope that numerous photos have convinced you that you can wear a shiny skirt as part of urban sports looks, or as part of vintage and outrageous looks. The most stylish tandem with an iridescent skirt will be:
- sweatshirts, both plain and printed;
- oversized one-shoulder sweaters;
- denim shirts;
- bustier tops;
- Alcoholic T-shirts;
- grunge t-shirts;
- bombers or blazers.
Adult fashionistas should not play with contrasts, but choose plain sweaters, turtlenecks, blouses under a skirt with lurex - act within the same style. Don’t forget about the optimal length, now all options are appropriate: mini, midi, maxi. Midi is the most versatile and relevant length, but it is better for owners of full calves and massive ankles to avoid it. We traditionally leave the mini for the young and slender, and choose the maxi for going out - steel shimmer in tandem with maximum length can look a little deliberate in an everyday look.
Black tulip skirts
The classic version of a tulip skirt is knee-length or slightly higher and has a scent that imitates flower petals. Today, models with low or high waist are common.
The ideal combination of such a skirt is achieved with the help of blouses, shirts, T-shirts, cropped jackets and jackets. Slender girls can wear a corset or bustier top.

The black skirt model is suitable for any look. You just need to choose a top in a certain color. White creates a business style; for a casual look, choose bright tops. An evening look will be complemented by a golden or silver corset.
Advice! When choosing a top for a tulip skirt, follow the rule - the blouse should not cover the hips. Blouses tucked inside look perfect.
What shoes and accessories to choose
We decided that metallic colors in clothes make them catchy and self-sufficient, so in addition to them we select minimalist partners. For an urban or sporty style, a backpack, messenger bag, sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat, a belt or a bright scarf on your head are suitable. Shoes for a skirt with a metallic sheen are selected based on the overall style of the look: for a feminine look, pumps or high-heeled sandals made of matte or patent leather are suitable.
But with sports shoes: slip-ons, sneakers, sneakers, boots, metal pleating harmonizes better than others. Midi skirts can be combined with ballet flats, shoes with massive thick heels, and clutches.
Remember, even in minimal quantities, shine in clothes creates a mood and elevates its owner above the gray masses. What do you think about metallic and lurex? Share your experience in the comments!
