New trend alert, the silver color is making a comeback! Whether it is available in shoes, pants, tops or accessories, this shade is now adopted by both major fashion houses and small brands.
No need to wait for Christmas or New Year to dare to adopt it. With more than 20 million cumulative views, the hashtags #silvertrend, #metallicsilver, #silveroutfit and #metallicstyle are so popular on TikTok that renowned brands such as Fenty, Marine Serre, Ami and Lanvin have integrated this shade into their latest collections.
Metallic pants as an alternative to jeans
Less flashy than gold, but more fancy than simple gray, metallic jeans are the key piece of this trend. Isabel Marant, Emporio Armani, Loewe, and even Zara have used it in their respective fashion shows or collections. Zara’s metallic jeans, which went viral with #zarasilverpants, have now accumulated more than 188.6 million views on TikTok.
Whether in the bell bottom version, flare leggings, tailored bottoms or wide cut, metallic pants are as versatile as simple jeans. No longer reserved for special occasions, this futuristic piece is easy to pair with basic white or black clothing, making it suitable for both men and women looking to add a sparkly touch to their wardrobe.
The silver shoe replaces the white shoe
To adopt the trend without taking big risks, silver shoes, both sober and modern, easily replace white ones. Available in a ballerina version at Lanvin or in a sneaker version at New Balance, the variations of this pair have been a hit since the start of the school year.
Rihanna, in collaboration with Puma and Fenty, even launched her own silver shoe model in early September, offering an alternative to Adidas’ version in collaboration with designer Wales Bonner, which is out of stock due to its success . Nike, Sandro, Asics, as well as luxury brands such as Louboutin, Gucci and Armani, also have their own model suitable for every taste.
An eternal cycle
This isn’t the first time the color has become trendy, and it certainly won’t be the last. Worn by pop culture, the silver color is emblematic of the futuristic universe and science fiction. “Silver refers to the Space Age, the period of space conquest which followed the Second World War,” explains fashion sociologist Frédéric Godart. The imagination of the time, with spaceships and robotics, popularized silver. Designers like Paco Rabanne or Thierry Mugler were super important in this development. »
This year, it was the singer Beyoncé’s tour entitled “Renaissance” which revived this trend. And for good reason, the most awarded singer in history asked her fans to dress only in the colors of her album to attend her concerts, that is to say in silver. A significant highlight of the silver color, worn by the singer and her fans during more than 85 dates around the world.
