Metal Skirting, Sai Ying Pun
First off, stop calling yourself a girl. By now, you've earned the title of Woman. Second, these skirts should be worn only by those with toned legs and bums (or Spanx). Third, I suggest you play down/off the shine and glitz with an understated, well-made classic, such as a perfectly tailored white shirt. Joseph has an incredible stretch-leather pencil skirt in gunmetal grey (HK$7,500; Lee Gardens Two, Causeway Bay, tel: 2808 1040); L'Agence has an amazing coppery-gold-leather version (HK$4,990; Harvey Nichols, The Landmark, Central, tel: 3695 3388); and Shopbop. com is offering free international express delivery on a number of great options, including the mirrored python skirt by Milly (HK$3,988) and a silver neoprene mini by Sass & Bide (HK$1,390). The latest collection by Gat Rimon (Rue Madame, IFC Mall, Central, tel: 2234 7880) has several metallic pieces, including a silver skirt (HK$1,250) and a black neoprene mini finished with a wide band of silver at the hem (HK$1,890). Also, check out the fab pleated silver skirt from Korean label Push Button (HK$3,490; Harvey Nichols). Then there's metallic brocade, which seems abundant this spring, including at Marni (HK$6,900 and up; The Landmark, tel: 2845 7632) and Maje (HK$1,990; IFC Mall, tel: 2234 7396). For something more demure, why not try a sparkle tweed mixed with metallic threads for a Coco-Chanel-on-her-way-to-a-disco look?
