The people have spoken, and the votes are in. Chrome is the colour of the moment. And the defining shade of party season. The hype began during the summer of RENAISSANCE, as Beyoncé headed out on her world tour. And the obsession hasn’t dwindled. So, whether you’re getting ready for the party of the year or heading to watch RENAISSANCE: A FILM BY BEYONCÉ on the big screen, these are the silver and chrome styles to add to your wardrobe, fast.

The temperature is dropping rapidly. But we’re taking things down a few degrees with some ice. Enter: silver jewellery. The ultimate instalment of bling, a touch of frost is all you need to take your outfit from zero to hero, and these icy picks are the best in the business. Marc Jacobs have taken their signature Kiki boot, bejewelled it and put it on a chain. Like your accessories a little more explicit? Opt for the logo-heavy Marc Jacobs Balloon Necklace. Saint Laurent have gone big with their diamante Collier necklace, while Gucci have done what Gucci do best – raising the stakes and giving us one of the key pieces of the season in the shape of their Dive Watch. PSA: these picks are perfect for party season, but they also make a great gift if you feel like sharing.

The sneaker has been a stalwart of the streetwear scene for as long as we can remember. But the silver sneaker? Now that’s something special. Prada’s take (like all things Prada do) is top of our list. Sleek, shiny and cut low, the Downtown Sneakers are a classic for a reason, but when they’re decked out with eye-catching chrome, they’re next level. Valentino Garavani and Gucci have proved that the silver trend is one even dad can get on board with, with their OTT chunky, dad trainers in hits of sonic silver. And as for Christian Louboutin, they’ve given their studs the silver treatment with the Vieria sneakers, which come with spike detailing to the front and rear of the trainer. Warning: don’t let any Magpies near your sneaker collection.

Question: what’s the easiest way to nail a party fit? Answer: a party-ready co-ord. And it’s time to go for silver. New to FLANNELS, Santa Brands are proving themselves to be the patron saints of party season thanks to their sparkling sets. And this hoodie and trouser combo – which is totally sheer and crafted from shimmering rhinestones – is top of our list. Like yours with a little more logo? Dolce&Gabbana have got you with their glitter co-ord that’s cut with logo-tape detailing. And as for Tom Ford? They’re proving that glamour is still their game with this sequinned turtleneck and ultra mini skirt set. Who created disco?

Since the dawn of time, we’ve been searching for the perfect party shoes. And by Jove, I think we’ve got it. Enter: the silver party heel. The styles to note? Valentino Garavani’s chic but simple silver pumps for a start. For a harder take? Opt for heavy metal hitters by way of Tom Ford and Alexander McQueen, who have levelled up the silver heel with chunky chains and buckle details. Sophia Webster has covered heeled ankle boots with glimmering silver chainmail. And Christian Louboutin’s sparkling mules will have you feeling like a grown up and glam Sugar Plum Fairy.

Bags that look like disco balls? They’re a must-have come party season. Whether they’re covered in eye-catching iridescent silver, so glossed up you can see your reflection, or dunked in sparkles, come party season, the only acceptable plus one is a chic, silver party bag. This season, we’ve fallen head over heels for the Gucci Horsebit, and this silver iteration makes our heart beat, fast. All glossed up and ready to go, Alexander McQueen and Valentino Garavani have given us bags that double up as mirrors. And for the glitter bugs among us? The Attico and Diesel have you covered with their crystal going out bags.

Sparkles are to dresses what music is to parties: completely essential. And it’s time to get that gleam girl. The little black dress has been around since the ‘90s, and the little pink party dress was a hot topic this year thanks to Barbie mania. But this Christmas, it’s all about the LSD, aka little silver dress. Roberta Einer’s slinky cut-out midi is a must. Diesel’s ultra mini is fresh from their AW23 collection and is finished with a washed effect for a rough-and-ready take on the silver party piece. And if you feel like baring all? Santa Brands are here to help you nail naked dressing. Spicy.
