When you’re on the hunt for a new pair of shoes, you might want to consider dipping your toes into the glimmering world of metallic sneakers. As the fashion trend has been a continual highlight of past year, incorporating a pair of metallic shoes might be at the top of your to-do list. Might I suggest you choose a pair of sneakers?
Of course there are comfortable white sneakers, chunky sneakers, and even sneakers made for the winter, but nothing adds dimension to an outfit quite like a shiny trainer. As a top 2023 sneaker trend, the style adds an elevated finishing touch to almost any outfit. And brands are jumping at the chance to include metallics in their lineups. Marketing director of Gola, Donna Hill, says, “this season we see a return of futuristic silvers and palatial gold tones.” Not just your classic golds and silvers, either. These tones extend “into opulent metallic pastel hues and deeper shades, giving outfits a statement finish.” Not to mention, the trend feeds perfectly into the Y2K revival, Hill notes.
