The Jumper Get's Metallic… Weekly Love 12

A Jumper With A Metallic Edge.

Metallic, gold and all things shiny. That’s what we are after this season. Womens jumpers often get a bad rep for being pretty unfashionable. We know our IKRUSH girls love fashion forward, celebrity inspired pieces which is why we try to bring you something that give a big nod to the trends. We also long to bring you jumpers that you can make your own and that are a little bit different. Why be the same as everyone else, right? This metallic sweater with a textured gold finish and wet look sleeves hits the right notes for a couple of amazing trends, focusing on what we think our customers will love. As far as jumpers go, for women this could be an absolute win for your wardrobe this season. Ditch your pink and cute jumpers, your favourite ‘wear everywhere’ jumper is about to get a whole other look.  

Why Metallic Is Jumper Worthy.

Why I hear you ask? Well, metallic has been seen everywhere from the catwalk styles and beauty to Youtube video tutorials and, of course, our TV screens… Our favourite catwalk take had to be Gucci. A daring metallic combo clash simply can’t be beaten and with an unusual revamp of the womens power suit we’re kind of in love. It may not be the most wearable of outfits but Gucci is certainly doing it right in terms of creativity and daring. Another daring look we saw was worn by Ellie Goulding on the Xfactor last weekend. We loved her performance but the viewers were divided on whether they actually liked the dress or not. What did we think? Well we think she made a brave move and worked it! Got to love a bit of shine when you’re on stage. The Julien Macdonald dress was certainly made for standing out and that’s exactly what she did! We loved some of his other stand out pieces this season. Which is your fav?

  Although other Twitter users seem to disagree with Julien’s comments…

  Another place we have been spotting metallic is in some amazing beauty looks. Would you dare to do it like Gucci and wear red metallic eyes? We loved the look but think that sticking to silver or gold is much more wearable. This simple tutorial has one beauty tip that starts you off looking… well… a bit silly really but ends with you having an amazing beauty look that’s perfect for a night out. Remember and accessorise to match girls. Swap up the silver for some gold if you prefer gold jewellery.   So, as you can see metallic has been everywhere this season. Why the jumper? Well during the colder seasons we like to try and bring you on trend pieces at great prices that fall under every category. Not just dresses and party clothes! This jumper is giving knitwear a style revamp. No more boring black or white jumpers for you! A jumper is one piece of clothing you shouldn’t have to lose out on the fashion with. So drop the one shoulder jumper from the bargain bin, take off the plain and simple tunic jumper and enjoy our trend forward style.

 

We Style The Jumper 4 Ways.

As always, we love to give our readers and loyal customers a little how to wear guide. Today is no exception and in true weekly love style we show you how to wear the Lexi Metallic Sweater 4ways…An oversized or baggy jumper is, for women, the holy grail of versatility you know. We wear day to night, edgy to simple and with plenty of other amazing items. We all know that a good beanie can go a long way and that a good slogan beanie… well that’s just about the best bit about the colder seasons. We love our #Awkward beanie hat and think it’s the perfect choice for creating an edgier day look with our metallic sweater. Team it with a pair of our tartan leggings which are now only £4.99! Yep you read right, what a good deal! We also wear with our new in high platform faux suede lace ups for a bit of height without the hassle of heels. Not so into the quirkier things for your day looks? Still want to rock the jumper but in your own way? Well we have the perfect simple meets trend outfit that you might just fall for. Our pocket detail jeggings are a great alternative to plainer jeggings and with both pockets and belt loops you’ll have all the style of jeans with all the stretch of leggings. Double bonus. Why not team them with gold detail biker boots for a little extra metallic shine. We love this lace up style! To top it off our quilted bomber jacket gives a little extra warmth without adding too much bulk. Not one for wearing a jumper on a night out? Well with the approaching serious chill that’s supposed to happen this winter, you might just need to change your mind. The jumper looks amazing with a touch of extra glitter. Our sequin pencil skirt is now only £16.99 and will bring out your bling side without looking OTT. Try tucking the jumper in just at the hem. This will give you a baggy style on top and the tight skirt will show off your booty. Perfect for dancing right? This outfit works amazingly with some cut out peep toe wedges to balance out the oversized to neatly fitted ratio.

Last up we have another outfit that’s perfect for making a jumper work on a night out. We have loved our range of skorts, as have all our customers and of course we have also found love in all things metallic. Skort, meet metallic, your new BFF. We love wearing the super short skort with a long sleeve jumper. You know the rule for legs and chest on a night out and this outfit takes it one step further to include the arms! Now at only £8.49, the wrap mini skort is an absolute must have. We wear with our designer look alike block heel lace up shoe boots to again balance out the look with a touch of chunky. At only £19.99 it is certainly a designer steal worth thinking about. Our precious stone ring looks amazing with almost any outfit so is a great item to add on for wearing with day to night style.   By Mhairi O’Neill @IKRUSH_Mhairi
