Silver has officially taken over gold and here’s how to wear it in 2025

Gold may have long been fashion’s go-to metallic, but silver has officially claimed the spotlight. From the mirrored finish of Chanel’s coveted 25 bag to Valentino’s chrome accents and Bhavya Ramesh’s sculptural sunglasses, designers are embracing a futuristic edge that feels fresh and modern. Silver’s appeal lies in its versatility—it slips seamlessly into daywear and elevates evening looks with equal ease. Styled with crisp whites, it reads sharp and minimal; layered with leather, it feels unapologetically bold; paired with denim, it brings casual outfits to life. Across shoes, bags, corsets, and accessories, silver is no longer the supporting act—it’s the main character of 2025 style.
