 Generally worn big and slouchy, these metallic bags allow ample space to fit in everything, writes Ayesha Akif

Accessories are always fun to shop and great to uplift a boring, bland outfit. The bling bling trend on handbags, scarves, clothes, sunglasses, etc, remains in and is now being complemented with a new style – the metallic look.

Sparkling accessories in bronze, silver, hot pink, jade green, electric blue and especially gold – which seems to be the colour for this season –– can add some serious glamour to whatever one may choose to wear, be it casual jeans, skirts, or shalwar kameez.

Handbags, being the most sought after accessory, are definitely the focus of this current trend. The metallic bags are an upcoming fashion rage and are being sported by super models and girls-next-door alike.

Usually black, brown and white are what most opt for when it comes to purses, and

may find the idea of a golden colour handbag a bit gaudy, but a visit to the shopping malls is enough to change one’s mind.

Generally worn big and slouchy, these funky bags serve as good a purpose as they look, allowing ample space for one to fit in everything. There are smaller ones too, with just a clutch. Perfect for casual and formal outings, these can be sported just about anywhere.

With Eid just round the corner and then the wedding season later, there’s going to be a lot of shopping and then some more. Make sure to shine with some of the flash and gleam that’s around. It’s a top-notch look!
