It has been a long time since I have seen something so bold, so much, so shiny, as the attack of the silver handbag. I am perplexed by the myriad of handbag options in this in-your-face color. I mean really, how wearable is a big, bold silver metallic bag? So maybe tasteless heiress Paris Hilton can sport one, but can the soccer mom (no offense)? And these aren't the only ones. I have also spotted new silver bags by Furla, Michael Kors, Tod's, Bally and Lambertson Truex. So take cover - we are under attack!

To see my vote for the most wearable (and cheapest!) silver handbag I've seen so far, read more
Nine West Pocket Squared Hobo, $62.10. This matte silver bag delivers this wild trend in a subtle, totally wearable fashion. It is not gaudy or flashy, it's just right. And when the trend is over, you won't feel bad about chucking it to the curb (or not).

I love the second Fendi (3rd one on the bottom row) but I'm not too crazy about the rest.
1These are so fabulous! I am really glad to see Silver making such a comeback.
2I dunno I'm still not sold on metallics, I do like the Betsey Johnson though.
3The Nine West pic is FAB! What a great bargain.
4cringing, I don't like them only because they don't fit my style. I'm pretty conservative as opposed to trendy.
5I don't like them if they are too shiney. I
the Chanel bag!!
6not big on this color but the chanel one is always nice
7No no no. Too shiny for me. Give me a metallic shoe and the jewelry. That's all I can handle.
8i'm a mom - and i carry a silver metallic bag from bebe - it was once featured on this site. i love it!
9Silver's one of my favorite colors, and I love wearing it! I have a silver purse myself!
10Love this trend. although, I had my silver purse last year...
I guess I am little
ahead of the trend. Hope it stays around. Silver adds a little something to an outfit.
11I'm so into the metallics.
Hey, don't forget about Ecoist! You know, the bags made from recycled candy wrappers? They have silver bags in every conceivable shape and size ... http://www.ecoist.com/silver.asp
12I love silver - hate gold. Nice to see silver in the spotlight for a change.
13love the chanel one, but i don't think silver is my colour...
14Trend? Now? Last December (2005), I remember sitting outside in this mall having a cocktail on a date, and seeing all these silver bags and had 80s flashbacks. I got one for Christmas from him and it is nice to have for dressy all black nights. I don't care if it is in, it's small enough to make a nice handbag and to add flair to the little black dress.
15The Chanel bag is cute but I'm not exactly going to race off and buy a silver metallic bag.

17I like them & I am a mom...I think I could pull this trend off but.. I hate to drop a ton of $$$ on a bag only for it to be "out" as fast as it came in...
I'd prefer to buy a nice classic CD or LV bag anyday.
