When it comes to metallic pieces, we tend to gravitate toward the safer options like bags and shoes. The shiny accessories and pair of sandals, flats, or boots allow us to add some shiny flair without it overwhelming your look. It wasn't until we came across this street style shot from New York Fashion Week earlier this month that we started considering taking our love for metallics to the next level with a cool pair of silver statement jeans.

The key to wearing a head-turning metallic top or bottom is to style it with head-to-toe neutrals to keep the outfit grounded. That's the exact case with the inspiration we see here—the street style star wore her bold silver jeans with a crisp white tee, sporty taupe jacket, and pair of patent mule sandals in a tobacco brown hue to complete the outfit. Who knew these daring jeans would be so easy to style?
