From Beyoncé to Lizzo, Silver Fashion Dominated at the Grammys — and You Can Shop the Trend Starting at $17

There is a lot to be said about the 65th Annual Grammy Awards, where performers wow-ed and wins — let’s just say — surprised, but I’ll stick to discussing the fashion. One color dominated: From the red carpet to the main stage, a number of artists taking home gold were seen donning silver. Beyoncé become the most winning artist in Grammys history wearing a silver Gucci gown, Lizzo accepted her Record of the Year award in a mini puff-sleeve dress and matching rosette heels, and Cardi B honored the late Paco Rabanne in a dress featuring the designer’s signature silver metal mesh. Plus, there was a sexy look from Mary J. Blige and a fringed, dance-friendly ensemble worn by Harry Styles. We’re sorry to break the news to Barbie, but it seems Tin Man-core is the next celebrity color trend.

While metallics are apt for an awards show, the shining hues can often feel difficult to style for everyday life. One silver piece too many and your office look becomes Renaissance fair-ready — which is why it’s all about balance. Silver might have once felt red carpet-specific, but I found 12 items that prove it can be a casual staple. With prices starting at $17, these practical pieces have me thinking that silver might just be spring’s most wearable color.

Getting dressed for an outing in the cold can feel uninspiring, especially as you get into mid-winter where putting on a long-sleeve, chunky-knit, giant scarf, and oversized puffer becomes routine. Break from winter’s fashion monotony by adding something new and exciting to the mix — namely, this puffer that you can grab on Amazon, which features warm padding and a water-resistant fabric. One customer who grabbed this in silver described the look as “stylish,” noting that they always get “lots of compliments” when wearing it.
