In this session of Coated Up 2007, I am going to show some examples of a coat trend that I did not see coming: Metallic! After years of gushing and grabbing for anything metallic gold, I have actually started to turn away from anything that resembles an overdose of gold lame' or put me in the running for Solid Gold dancer of the year. However, overdoses of metallic gold and silver are storming closets and stores everywhere including in my beloved outerwear department! The Baby Phat bomber to the right is actually pretty fly to me. One suggestion, if I may; if you are thinking about embarking on the mission of buying and wearing a metallic coat, stick with black or white clothing. I don't believe our eyes can take a gold metallic coat paired with bright red pants. Do you? Take it easy, will ya!
