Spring can't come soon enough, and here to help us jump-start our warm-weather styling inspiration is Vogue Italia's Giovanna Battaglia. While making the rounds at Paris Fashion Week, the editor showed us her chic take on one of the season's hottest trends: metallics. While most of us reserve this high-shine trend for evening festivities, Giovanna expertly worked it into her daywear via a stunning metallic coat. She then tempered her high-wattage statement piece with a simple brown sweater, textural skirt, and metallic pumps. We can't think of a better way show off our midday shimmer, and if you're just as inspired, then channel the same look by shopping our editors' picks below.
