Blame the style set’s sheer vanity, but they all want pieces with a mirror shine, now. Silver is overtaking gold as the fashion pack’s favourite metallic. This season they are wearing it around wrists and necks, on their feet and hooked over their elbows.
Come again? Yes – it might be time to part with your gold hoops. Silver jewellery was the bling du jour at the catwalk shows in February. Can’t bear that? Silver shoes are a jazzier way to wear the trend – the most desirable are Prada’s disco platforms (though you might be more comfortable commuting in Essen’s ballet flats). Or why not swap your tote for a big, shiny bag? Top marks for brilliance. Just watch you don’t attract any magpies.
