From chain mail to lam&eacute;, metallic finishes are bringing the party spirit back into fashion this season.

From the revival of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/90s-sportswear-trend-spring-summer-2021-celine-gucci" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&lsquo;90s sportswear</a>&nbsp;on the runways to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/gen-z-y2k-millennial-90s-fashion-nostalgia" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TikTok&rsquo;s obsession with Y2K style</a>, we&rsquo;ve been a bit nostalgic lately. And who can blame us? We&rsquo;re all longing for better days, before pandemics and work from home was the norm.<o:p></o:p>

One of these <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/patchwork-trend-depop-diy-tom-ford-celine" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nostalgic</a> <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/escapism-milan-fashion-week-fall-winter-2021-highlights-valentino-prada-moschino" target="_blank" rel="noopener">trends</a> coming back in full force is metallics. From flashy eyeshadow to shimmering swimwear to Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/everything-you-missed-2021-grammys-beyonce-megan-thee-stallion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grammys performance</a> looks, everyone's set on bringing some shine into 2021.<o:p></o:p>

Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B got low in metallic sets during the 2021 Grammy Awards.

On the (virtual) runways, metallic made an eye-catching impact even through the screen. For Spring/Summer 2021, chain mail, sequins, and metallic leather featured prominently in collections from Balenciaga, Miu Miu, Givenchy, and more. Both as party-ready clothes and for the day-to-day, metallic embraced the flamboyant fashion that we'll no doubt see more of as the world opens up.
