On the fall/winter couture and ready-to-wear runways, shimmering silver and steely platinum tones shone brightly in everything from suits to gowns. This trend is a perfect segue into the silver and white metal trends of the past couple of seasons.

This look is one of casual chic with a nod to unexpected cuts of diamonds and tactile details.
