This rust coloured blouse features gold embellishments along its sleeves. The front of the blouse is demure with its high neck and long sheer sleeves. The back of the blouse, however, reveals an open cross-back design. This blouse would look great tucked into a fitted leather skirt.
4. Topshop Grey Embellished Tee
Price: $110.00 at us.topshop.com
Metallic embellished garments can at times be a bit overplayed. This grey tee, however, balances the heaviness of the embellishments with a soft, sheer body.

This embellished bandeau top is exclusive to net-a-porter.com. It is made from a combination of polyester and lycra, and features metallic bead embellishments along the front.

6. Walter Sequin Embellished Silk Tank Top
Price: $80.00 at theoutnet.com
The olive-green colour of this tank top is unusual, but enticing. The rich colour works well with the metallic embellishment along the shoulders of the tank top. It has a scoop neck and gathering at the back. Pair this with cream coloured bottoms to really make the olive-green colour stand out.
7. Dorothy Perkins Purple Embellished Maxi Dress
Price: $36.00 at dorothyperkins.com
Metallic embellished garments don’t always have to consist of separates. This purple maxi trend incorporates metallic embellishments with square studs lining the next and waist.
