You’re a shining star, and you deserve to dress like one—even if you’re just hanging out at home taking mirror selfies. Big night-out plans or not, plus-size metallic dresses give you a boost of shimmery, shiny, chic vibes that are truly unmatched (unless, of course, you’re covered head-to-toe in sequins). No look is quite as glam as a metallic one, so go ahead and treat yourself to a little something special this season. It doesn’t matter if the only people who see the dress are your Instagram followers. Looking like a red carpet star is a gift in of itself.
Sometimes, we get the biggest confidence boosts when we throw on a gorgeous dress—and when that dress happens to be metallic, it takes things to an entirely new level. The fabric has a hint of ’80s flare, but is so far from the gaudy metallic pink leggings and over-teased hair from that decade. Metallic styles today are elegant and bold at the same time. (!) It’s honestly the perfect combination, and worth wearing to any event you have on your calendar (including plans to stay at home and do a face mask).
Whether you’re into shiny gold frocks, sultry silver tones, or even metallic florals (Yes, they exist!), there’s a little something for everyone out there. Plus-size metallic dresses come in all hues, sizes, and styles, so don’t be afraid to peruse the list below and pick out a piece (or five). Once you slip one of these beauts over your head, you might not want to ever take it off. That’s the power of metallics, folks.
