A spring/summer favourite, the metallic jacket is making a statement on runways. While 3.1 Phillip Lim gave it an acid-washed makeover, Marc by Marc Jacobs paired it with matching metallic pants, and Altuzarra went all out with its super-shiny silver blazer. But you don’t have to restrict the sparkle to nighttime. We show you how to tone down a metallic jacket and wear it to the office or out for brunch.
