The Bronze Age

The popularity of metallics certainly hasn’t dipped of late and bronze is more available than ever in the run up to the Christmas party season. The reddish-brown shade is generally more flattering than silver on pale Irish skin and can be more wearable and expensive-looking than gold. It’s a neutral, versatile colour that should work with most of what’s already in your wardrobe and is especially great with shades of green, blue, yellow and other metallics.
