Metallic evening dresses are universally flattering and are very appropriate for festive occasions such as New Years’ Eve. There’s something really elegant about a gold or a silver evening gown. If you truly want to make a statement, choosing a metallic evening dress will make sure you stand out in a crowd of little black dresses.

Whether you choose gold or silver depends on your skin tone. Generally, cool (pink-based) skin tones look best in silver, and warm (yellow-based) skin tones look great in gold.

One of our favorite silver evening dresses here at Sung Boutique is the Silver Beaded Evening Dress. We love its simple, elegant sophistication and the very affordable price. If you prefer gold, our Gold Embellished Evening Dress is one of our most flattering silhouettes, with a very flattering embellished neckline, a ruched bodice and a flowing, figure skimming skirt.

Remember that you don’t necessarily have to match your shoes and handbag to your metallic dress. In fact, you will probably look fresher and more modern if you pair a silver dress with black evening sandals and a black evening bag, and a gold dress with bronze accssories. Do match your jewelry to your dress – silver, white gold or platinum jewelry with a silver evening dress, and gold jewelry with a gold evening dress.
