If you thought metallic fashion was just for party season, think again. Shine bright this summer.

You may usually reserve your gold mini dress for Christmas parties but iridescent fabrics are having a moment this summer and these sparkly pieces are a match made in heaven for sunset cocktails on the beach.

If you’re not ready to embrace a fully metallic look at this time of year, pair silver strappy sandals with your everyday jeans or layer a white shirt over a glossy bikini.

From liquid metal slip-dresses and metallic skirts to shimmery swimwear and high-shine sandals, here are 20 shiny pieces to shop now and wear for the rest of the year.

Kate Moss’ partywear capsule collection for Zara will take you from summer soirees to the festival season.
