Mr O. #15: Go Heavy on the Metal(lics)

Spring has finally sprung!
Time to pack those dark heavy clothes away and brighten up our life! The password is: shine!
And what's better than a chromed piece of wardrobe to embrace (and reflect) the sunlight?
Designers have shown a broad use of metallics in their SS12 collections: we have seen them on everything from dresses to tops, trousers and blazers. Shades variated from foil-like silver to aquamarine, blush pink and pastel colours.
I already own a few mirrored pieces that I can now proudly wear without having my friends laughing at me for not being very...understated, let's say.
I love them matched with a plain white T-shirt or a white mens shirt.

As see on the catwalks at:
