The Essentials: High-Sheen Silver, Away!

Calling all metalheads! The already strong runway presence of metallic silver just got a power boost (thanks to the recent addition of high voltage shine finishes) to lift it into chrome territory. One of the most notable designer showings of high-sheen finishes include Christopher Bailey's presentation for Burberry Prorsum: a palette of metallic purples, blues, yellows and greens so vibrantly glossed they were reminiscent of foil candy wrappers.

Adapting this trend into your corporate life is easier than you think: just substitute shine for colour, i.e. where you'd usually bring the brights, go for glossy chrome instead and—voila!—an otherwise basic black tailored suit is instantly elevated to power suit status. Feeling adventurously avant-garde? Suit up in all white before slipping into your chrome footwear of choice for a futuristic beam of style.
