Hard Wear
It never really goes away, but the mood for all things metallic has shined brighter than ever for most of 2014. Metal accessories, from necklaces and bracelets to sunglasses and belt buckles, are a sophisticated way of wearing the trend; pile their studs, chains and links high for an edgy, rock ’n’ roll vibe, or let one elaborate statement piece do all the talking. Rugged and elemental or smooth and sleek, this is heavy-duty style that’s in it for the long haul.
