HIGH-SHINE metallics aren’t just for Christmas parties – they can be dressed down for daytime too.
There is a space-age style revival underway this season and foil-effect fabrics and shiny hues are big news.

Go for gold on the school run by chucking on an M&S puffer coat or pair statement silver trousers with a crisp shirt and jumper.
Here, SIOBHAN O’CONNOR shows you how to shimmer during those precious few daylight hours.
