We all see Christmas as the traditional holiday of red and green.  While we often choose to dress up and decorate in those typical festive colours, this Christmas try breaking out of that tradition with metallic instead!  Creating a more modern and sophisticated holiday, going out with metallic shades of colour will definitely have you standing out amongst the crowd and looking refined and contemporary.  To pull off this look while keeping with the festive Christmas spirit, you can simply just stick to the traditional red and green, but in metallic to add some shimmer and shine.  If not, just accessorize your holiday outfit with a metallic necklace, clutch or even nail polish to create an edgier look.  Go ahead and rock the metallic this Christmas!
