Warm Metal Trend

Posted by Justin Quan on Aug 14th 2015

Copper is In!

Have you ever had a brand new penny?  Did you notice how it shined with all its copper brilliance and seemed so new and unadulterated?  Usually we come into contact with pennies on an everyday basis, whether we use them at the grocery store or pass over them in the parking lot.   Normally they don’t require much thought.  But a fresh from the mint penny always gets a second look.  Even though this mere one cent coin isn't valued as highly as any of its silver colored counterparts, something about the copper color seems more special and definitely unique.  Fashion designers have taken notice of the penny and used its brilliance as inspiration for many hot new trends. 

Liven up your wardrobe with copper…

Accessories- Copper has always been a sought after metal, but now it can be found in items that aren't metallic at all.  From copper colored natural rooster feathers to the natural copper highlights that are present on peacock feathers, the precious amber hue can be worn in a soft new way.  So whether you chose to wear amber hair feather extensions or to purchase earrings, necklaces and bracelets in copper tones, you can easily update your summer look. We love this peacock feather earring from Montaigne Market

Shoes- Silver and gold are no longer the shining stars when it comes to metallic shoes.  Wear copper colored pumps for classy look. Match this shoe from Topshop with over the top peacock feather skirt we found by Matthew Williamson

Polish- Apply a few coats of copper polish to nails this summer for a cool effect.  Your nails will catch everyone’s eye and will glitter in the sun’s rays. We love nail polish from Deborah Lippman for their perfect tone and bling!

Makeup- Sun kissed skin is a sure sign that summer has arrived.  Dress up your makeup routine by incorporating copper shades.  Copper eye shadow by Laura Mercier can draw attention to your lids and a copper bronzer will give your cheeks a natural tanned appearance.  Glide on eye shadow pencil from Urban Decay is another great option. You can use it as eye shadow and eyeliner, whichever you prefer!
