Street Style: Dressed-down shine

Minimal Metallic: Silver as a Spring 2011 colour definitely leans less to the high-shine / high-sparkle and more to the lightweight, inspired by organic compounds and nature's geological offerings. Metallics are ever-evolving and, while rich gold brocades or intricate spangles of sequins are still on for the daring, they've also diverged into a minimalist tangent. This particular marriage of pleats and lightweight silver fabric epitomises that minimalist-metallic aesthetic perfectly, played down with leopard loafers and a vintage leather jacket.
