Metallic outfits - anywhere you go, you will be seen. And if you're looking to be noticed, fashion houses this autumn-winter season have something in store for you. These metallic tones will mark fashion trends that come in basic items, clothing that you can find in any woman's closet, from pleated skirts and baggy pants to high waisted shorts and jumpsuits. Midi dresses appear on this comprehensive list as well - all you need to do is slap on some winter booties to match the brightness of your outfit.

From the most exuberant and risky way of wearing them, to the more discrete ways, get ready to integrate these pieces with items you will find in your daily wardrobe. You will likely end up totally digging the 'galactic glamour' of the eighties; all you need is to step into the time machine.

A single item changes everything

This season, designer Alberta Ferretti rolled out the latest in throwback eighties fashion with this pleated shirt with a pointed collar and bishop sleeves, one that Lady Gaga herself wore with a raincoat jumpsuit. And here we show you how to emulate it! Her collection consisted of silver and gold metallic outfits - and a baggy dress with a bandeau neckline - with a long-sleeved wide jumpsuit.

Gold is the star of the show

During the fall/winter season, golden shades will be the trendiest. Their most literal expression was embodied in this mid-length pleated dress, asymmetrical neckline and ruffles by Altuzarra. The fashion house also incorporated pleated skirts to combine with dark gray sweaters or black blazers.

Jazzy dresses

Brock Collection added the color of gold to ethereal gowns as beautiful and opulent such as this one, worthy of any red carpet. As in the previous outfit, the cinched waist is repeated, although instead of a thin black belt, it is a ribbon that complements the bulging skirt.

Suits with cropped pants, a different option

The brightness of this jacket and cropped pants set by Celine was undeniably phenomenal. The duo with the darkest color of the palette is crucial to get the most out of the golden hue. The firm also included a charming dress with a cape in its collection.

An exquisite golden cocktail

In Milan, Annakiki presented this combination of two contrasting metallic textures. On the one hand, there is a blazer with structured shoulders and a deep neckline; on the other, a pencil skirt in midi version, a look that stood out alongside another outfit consisting of fun baggy pants in metallic green.

Let\'s go with the subtle

Meanwhile, Thom Browne opted for metallic tones from head to toe, although he went the more subtle rote. A great example was this suit with ankle-nipped pantsuit of pure professional aesthetic. Workwear never looked so good! In fact, if you want to get into the trend, this metallic option is one excellent way to go.

Relaxation is key

If you want a little more pizzazz to your look, the perfect formula, without forgetting some opulence, can also be functional for everyday life. The proof is in this look that Ingie showed during Paris Fashion Week: cropped high waisted pants combined with a nude blouse.

Balance is everything

Dolce & Gabbana went unapologetically all out with the gold shades. They went with a bright skirt balanced with a more demure, less colorful sweater, despite the cuffs and silver neck. It's a more subtle way to join the trend.

Silver lining

Although gold is the leader of the pack, silver also stood out on the runways. Michael Kors showed this dress with a wraparound silhouette and ruffles around the neckline and skirt. There was room in the collection for a draped bronze midi dress with matching bandana.

All about the prints

Silver made a comeback in the outfits designed by fashion house Paco Rabanne. The example? This long-sleeved printed dress, a sign that it does not matter if they are lowkey or not, because metallic garments will be the leader of the iciest months in 2019 and 2020.

As you can see, with the inspiration of fashion weeks around the world, you are more than ready to say yes to the metallic outfits from the unforgettable eighties!
