10 Of The Most Fabulous And Glitzy Metallic Skirts To Get You Party-Ready
One for the magpies
2022's 'Disco Utility' trend, as seen at the likes of Peter Do, Balmain, Tom Ford, Chanel and Dolce & Gabbana, has brought metallics back into the limelight – and we couldn't be happier.
From chainmail and gilded trimmings to molten-looking lamé and deep bronze silks, metallics have the power to make any look party-ready – whether worn all-over or contrasted with jeans or a classic white t-shirt.
For those accustomed to a more low-key, look, however, embracing metallics might not come quite so naturally. But there is one piece of clothing in particular that always looks epic in foil finish, and is surprisingly easy to wear: the metallic skirt.
Metallic skirts have been around for a while, but this season, they're less sci-fi and more high-fashion. Think intricate mesh, delicate pleats, hot Barbie-pink colourways, super-slashed minis and a subtly shimmery 'doughnut-glaze' finish.
These are the best and most 2022-ready metallic skirts that you need to add to your wardrobe now:
No one does metallic chainmail quite like Paco Rabanne.
Hot pink, super short, and on sale, this Alessandra Rich miniskirt is just begging to be taken out dancing.
Just add chunky black boots and an oversized sweater for a super cool autumn-ready look.
If you're going to go for it, then why not really go for it with this glorious, Prada mesh mini? Style it with a classic white tee for the ultimate in effortless glamour.
Y2K revival fashion at its very finest.
One of the hottest brands to come out of London Fashion Week's AW22 season, Poster Girl is nailing it with the party-ready metallic minis.
Wear with a bikini top or crisp linen shirt in the summer, and thick tights and a roll-neck come winter.
This ultra-mini skirt has 'disco utility' written all over it.
Go bold with this hot pink metallic maxi skirt: it's perfect for channelling this season's Barbiecore trend.
Perfect for festival season.
