Have you ever considered hotting up your ensembles with metal? Heavy metal can make a world of a difference to the way you dress!

• Today what’s in is the use of metal straps and chains on dresses.
• Brass mesh is usually used to craft straps for dresses. It can be plated into any colour, like copper, nickel or black, to match the outfit.
• Outfits with metal straps should only be dry cleaned.
• Brass never rusts, so that’s one thing you don’t need to worry about.
• Add metal links to halters to make eyes pop!
• The metal belt effect is what the fashionistas recommend. Go for belts that are one or two inches wide, no more. Remember a metal belt will draw attention to your waist.
• Metal belts embedded with Swarovskis are in.
• A big, low waisted, metal loop / buckle on a plain belt is a great show stopper!

So go ahead and play around with heavy metal, and let your imagination take flight…
