Which metallic maiden are you? Dress to dazzle this autumn with our shiny guide

Whether you’re a head-banging rock chick, sophisticated Audrey Hepburn wannabe or a sultry glamour puss, there is a metallic outfit with your name on it this autumn.

Heavy metal meets ladylike opulence this season as an array of baroque, metallic and embellished items hit the catwalk and inspire the high street.

Dubbed Lady Metal, autumn’s creations are adaptable to any style.

Vibe has teamed up with Greenwich Shopping Park in Charlton to help find the perfect shiny getup to suit every personality as this season’s designs hit the catwalk.

Sophisticated Lady 

The metallic look doesn’t have to mean rock ‘n’ roll.
Teaming softer fabrics with contrasting metallic hues will bring a chic edge to your outfit.

We love this navy lace peplum top, £28 from Next, paired with the soft shape of this gold River Island pencil skirt, £25, creating an elegant metallic silhouette which is perfect for the office or a dinner date.

Complete the look with a pair of suede courts, like this chocolate pair from Clarks, £54.99, and add some chunky jewellery such as this layered bracelet, £14.99 from H&M.

Girlie Girl

For a look which screams feminine and fabulous, swap harsh metal colours like silver and bronze for more girly metallic colours.

We think this sleeveless shirt in a soft pink, £29.99 from H&M would look great tucked into a cute mini skirt such as this black cotton number, £30 from Topshop at OUTFIT.

And to really make a sky-high statement, grab yourself a pair of killer heels to finish off the look. These baroque shoe boots, £65 from Miss Selfridge at OUTFIT, are divine and make baroque-luxe work for even the most girly fashionistas.

Glamour Puss

The glamorous girl’s staple is her little black dress so update yours with some metal embellishment this autumn.

The stud detail on this black shift dress, £45 from Miss Selfridge at OUTFIT, is the perfect way to add edge to a classic look.

Team with an uber-glam faux fur number to be sure to keep out the crisp autumn weather.

We love New Look’s cosy cream midi-jacket at only £34.99.

Complete the look with some black and gold accessories.

This black cocktail ring, £3.99 at New Look and black and gold suede tassel bag, £35 at River Island, have caught our eye and are sure to make that lasting impression.
