They've gone from catwalk to red carpet and switched from party to daywear, so it's officially time to make like the A-list and shine in autumn's metallics. While burnished pewters and shimmering golds have been applied to trusty pleated skirts and tailored trousers, accessories like Pixie's satchel offer a new take on the heavy metal trend. But there's just one key style rule to adhere to before breaking out these oh-so-cool pieces. Rather than opt for the futuristic designer approach, look to Kate Moss and Ashley Olsen's less-is-more vibe and keep the shine to one piece while effortlessly teaming with style classics. Got it? Then you're good to go for the season ahead.
