I don’t know about you, but from December to March I am more concerned with comfort and staying warm during our cold Canadian winters than I am with fashion. Puffy jackets that would make the Michelin man envious, collegiate sweatpants and drab all black outfits have become my (unfortunate) winter attire staples.

This year I have vowed to make a change, and not let Old Man Winter put a temporary freeze on my sense of style ever again. One way to shine in the colder months is to add a pair of metallic trousers into your winter wardrobe. Available in a wide range of silhouettes and sparkling colours, these pants are a far cry from the very interesting metallic ensembles of 70’s disco culture. The metallic trousers of 2015 add a hint of glamour to your daytime outfits, and they can really pull together a holiday party look (tis’ the season for silver and gold).

If winter has you in a style rut, muster up the strength to crawl out of it and then adorn those gorgeous gams of yours with some shimmering metallic pants!
