Metallics don’t necessarily have to be limited to space-age silver or grecian gold. This year metallics span everything from futurist to glam brocade, precious metals to pastels. Read more about metallic clothing for spring / summer 2013.Sheer clothing

Make it your own and rock black and white patterned clothing this season.Androgynous fashion
It started out with the pleasant confusion of boys who looked like girls and girls who looked like boys, but androgyny in fashion has mellowed to be more about subtle gender blurring in what we wear.

Some people's wardrobes are about a small selection of pieces that all
fit within one aesthetic - Tania Braukamper isn't such a person. With a
wardrobe that spans three different rooms, her approach to fashion is a
mixture of current-season key pieces mixed with vintage finds she's
sourced on innumerous shopping trips around the world's more cultured
capitals. Despite a disparate approach to shopping, Tania is adamant
that the key to mixing vintage with new season is to stick to key looks
and colours that work for oneself. And it's a theory that she works into
her writing for Fashionising.com, where she serves as the publication's
