Fashion rules are meant to be broken. Going beyond the whole "no white after Labor Day" rule (puh-lease!) and the age-old myth that you can't mix navy with black, we're ready to make daytime metallics a thing. Hear us out: During a season dominated by wooly knits, heavy-duty toppers and the prospect of bundling up, there's something to be said for embracing OTT metallics for work and play. 'Cause why the heck not?! Between swishy metallic skirts, slinky slip dresses and high-shine bodysuits, it's all about dialing it up this season, whether it be a fancy night on the town or just because. Make way for 13 game-changing ways to turn up the drama and go all-out glam this season.

1. ASOS Dolly Coat in Floral With Faux Fur Collar ($129): Found it. To all you vintage-loving girls who thought metallics just weren't your thing, we've uncovered the retro topper for you. This metallic jacquard number, featuring an intricate floral design and sassy faux fur collar, calls for a flapper-esque drop-waist dress and art deco-inspired earrings.

2. Scotch & Soda Metallic Trousers ($135): Whoever said you couldn't pull off lustrous fuchsia trousers in the workplace was surely mistaken. Pair 'em with a silk tie-front blouse, smart specs, a herringbone blazer and some good ol' suede block heels and HR won't bat an eye.

3. Topshop Metallic Parka ($250): A 50 percent chance of rain showers, you say? It looks like it's time to take cover in your fly metallic gold parkas for women. Rain or shine, it'll give you an excuse to embrace flashy metallics and show everyone who's boss. Toss this versatile hooded hero piece over a free-wheelin' jumpsuit, embroidered jeans or a roomy mock-neck sweater dress for some post-festival season flair.

4. ASOS Pleated Midi Skirt in Metallic With Contrast Hem ($64): Take a scroll through your Insta feed and there's a good chance you'll spot at least one Instababe sporting a twirl-worthy metallic pleated skirt — and for good reason. They can be dressed up with a blazer and ankle strap steppers or pared down with a slouchy sweater and Chuck Taylors. And a messy top knot is always the best accessory.

5. Halston Heritage Metallic Jersey Bodysuit ($195): Nothing to wear? You obviously haven't met a metallic jersey bodysuit with this much over-the-top appeal. The come-hither style may not be for the overly modest, but boy is it guaranteed to make an entrance at a Vegas-themed bachelorette party or black tie affair. Team it with high-waisted trousers or a thigh-high slit skirt, and toss on a body chain to complement the plunging neckline. Sky-high stilettos are obviously obligatory, 'cause flats just aren't going to fly.

6. Topshop Camouflage Jacquard Pencil Skirt ($95): Take the guesswork out of figuring out what to wear to a cocktail event or wedding reception by opting for this metallic jacquard print skirt that's downright sophisticated. Up the wow factor with a scalloped cami, sparkly chandelier earrings and a compact minaudiere clutch.

7. Topshop Moto Metallic Hayden Boyfriend Jeans ($90): Test drive a casual-cool downtown aesthetic with a pair of these slouchy metallic boyfriend jeans that can be dressed up or down. Style 'em for a lunch meeting across town alongside a silk blouse and d'Orsay pumps, or go full-on athleisure with an oversized pocket tee, a utilitarian jacket and sneakers.

8. Silence + Noise Satin Shine Slip Short Dress ($59): This just in: Snagging that coveted model-off-duty look is as simple as a few layering tricks. Take this high-shine slip dress, for instance — all you have to do is pop this wardrobe workhorse over a mesh tee and slip on some Chelsea boots for a street-inspired getup that demands attention.

9. Topshop Metallic Pyjama Shirt ($90): Perfect your roll-out-of-bed-and-go routine with this relaxed fit pajama shirt that can actually be worn IRL. We're dead serious. Style it alongside black slacks and heeled mules for the boardroom or a velvet pinafore dress and hoop earrings come the weekend. The metallic mint hue will lend just the right amount of glamour to every #OOTD.

10. Chi Chi London Bardot Metallic Jacquard Mid Length Dresses With High Low Hem ($129): Pretend like we're Blair Waldorf for the day? Don't mind if we do. Take style cues from the Queen B herself by styling this swoon-inducing strapless metallic dress with a tiara, simple pearl studs and Manolos for a head-turning look.

11. Zara Metallic Top With Frilled Hem ($36): Cue the fancy frills with this metallic top that can be worn as-is or layered over a button-down for a considerably more polished getup. Come the holidays, it'll straight-up stun with sequined pants and velvet platforms.

12. Kimchi Blue Floral Sheer Mesh Maxi Dresses on Sale ($89): Outfit conundrums simply don't exist when your dress is this DDG. Get ready to bring the drama by styling this sheer maxi, featuring shimmery gold blooms, with a gold choker and lace-up ghillies for a wedding under the stars or a fall soiree. Sign us up, please.

13. Zara Reversible Leather Jacket ($229): Keep the outfit blahs at bay with this reversible metallic bomber that's leather on one side and faux fur on the other. Sport the metallic side when you're feeling like Beyoncé and the flip side when you're just trying to be Miley. Either way, the swagger is on.

When it comes to dressing to impress, there's no denying that Of Mercer founders, Dorie Smith and Emelyn Northway, know how to pull it off! Their brand features a collection of work-appropriate clothing that inspires us to bridge the gap between creative expression and professionalism. From ultra-flattering shift dresses to elegant blazers that can go from "desk to dinner" in a snap, the brand is catching the eye of working gals all over the world who are looking to up their style game at work without having to up their budgets.

Today, Dorie and Emelyn are here to share nine tried-and-true tricks for making an appropriately eye-catching statement while strutting the halls at your paying gig. Read on for their strategies, and then curate your own collection of must-haves here!

1. Little Black Dress

If you own one piece of workwear, it should be classic black sheath dresses. If you can't find one that fits you perfectly off the rack, make the investment to get it tailored. It's the essential building block of any work wardrobe. It also provides endless opportunities for layering, accessorizing and, thus, countless outfit options. And when you're in a pinch because you haven't done laundry, you can never go wrong with a great-fitting LBD!

2. Statement Color

If you like color, wear it! The rules of dressing for the office are changing. Even in the most formal office environments, a bold color is more than OK. In fact, it can be an asset—wearing a bold color in a sea of black suits projects confidence. Choose classic, not-too-tight silhouettes (like a hot pink pencil skirt), and pair the pop of color with neutral separates and accessories to make sure you don't overdo it.

3. Pocket Detail

If you are going to a networking event, wear a dress with pockets. Pockets provide a great place to stash your business cards so you can look professional and don't have to rummage through your purse to grab them.

4. The Perfect Silhouette

Always be mindful of your hemlines and necklines, and how they behave over the course of your day. When you're shopping, do a "sit down test" to make sure you won't suddenly show off your upper thigh when you take a seat at the conference table. Be wary of necklines that may unexpectedly open up or creep downward throughout the day. We found wrap dresses to be guilty of this, so we designed our own wrap mid length dresses specifically to wrap above the bust—no camisole necessary!

5. Legging-Like Pants

If you wear it to yoga, you shouldn't wear it to work. We constantly hear complaints from HR teams about employees embracing the athleisure trend in the office. So, invest in a great pair of skinny-leg work pants that feel like leggings for women, but aren't. Make sure they have "real-pant" features like belt loops or pockets that make it obvious you aren't wearing your Lululemons.

6. Neutral Sweater

Always leave a classic cardigan on the back of your desk chair for easy access during the day. Choose a neutral color that will go with anything. It's the perfect defense against over-air-conditioned offices, and will help you seamlessly transition between seasons. It will also keep your shoulders covered for that unexpected meeting with your boss.

7. Feminine Draping

Dress for comfort, but not at the expense of looking sloppy. Look for fabrics that are wrinkle-free to avoid creases from sitting at a desk all day. And if your idea of comfort means a looser-fitting dress (something that never touches your body, for example), make sure you aren't choosing something that resembles a sack. Opt for a style that has tailored detailing and a feminine drape.

8. Modern Blazer

Invest in pieces that can go from work to weekend. A tailored blazer looks equally chic as part of a suit for a big board meeting as it does over your favorite vintage T-shirt for Sunday brunch. When going for a more traditional look, choose one with a peaked lapel, and for a more modern look, go collarless!

9. Your Personal Style

No matter what your office dress code is, the most important thing is to always embrace your personal style and wear clothes that make you feel your best. When you are confident in your outfit—whether it's a feminine evergreen dress or pair of slacks and a button-up blouse—you will exude that confidence in everything you do, including totally nailing that important client presentation.

What type of outerwear are you shopping for this fall?

I think you know that duffle coats (or duffel) are very popular right now. If you don't quite imagine, what it is, it'a coat made from duffel, thick woolen fabric, and it has a capacious hood and three or four wood or horn toggles with leather loops, a buttonable strap neck and two large patch pockets. Many fashionistas and celebrities pick them up for their casual looks. So why do guys love such coats for women so much? First of all, a duffle coat is very comfy and, secondly, this type of a coat looks good for almost any occasions. Nowadays it has many modifications, for example, this coat can be without a hood and looks perfect for elegant outfits. Now let's consider some coat ideas.

Neutral Color Duffle Coats

Initially these coats had a dark color palette from navy blue to dark gray. If you aren't ready for bold clothes combinations, now you can find gray, black, navy blue, camel or beige coat and pair it with other neutral color clothes or some bright accessories depending on your wish and style. For more fashionable looks you can wear printed pieces of clothes such as striped shirts or geometric patterned skirts.

2. With oversized sweater, crop pants and metallic shoes

3. With striped shirt and midi pencil skirt

4. With striped shirt, cuffed skinny jeans and black flat ankle boots

6. With white dress, black tights, brown ankle boots and pastel color hat

7. With white shirt, dark gray sweater and skater skirt

8. With cuffed jeans, brown boots and black bag

Bright Color Duffle Coats

I'm sure you'll fall in love with these colorful coats! Now you have a really big and difficult choice, cause there are so many interesting ideas. At first, just choose a favorite color for your coat: sunny yellow, adorable red, awesome orange, elegant marsala or stunning blue ones. Then try to mix it with simple clothes (for example, for every day you can choose jeans, black or white shirts and mid calf boots) or eye-catching ones. Don't be afraid to add to your red coat an orange turtleneck, or for your yellow one — a pink backpack, with pastel color coats you can put on printed shoes, for example, leopard ones. Just add to fall and winter some bright colors!

Don't know what to wear on the Fourth of July? We've rounded up fashionable, festive summer staples. From patriotic finds to classic looks, SHOP if you want to celebrate in style.
The Fourth of July is almost here — so get ready to break out your red, white and blue. If suiting up in stars and stripes from head-to-toe isn't your thing, you can still get into the spirit in a chic way — and we've rounded up a slew of fashionable options!

For starters, rely on staple summer silhouettes — from crop tops to tanks and high-waisted shorts, there's an option for every occasion. If you're heading to a beach or BBQ, be sure to pack a jacket or lightweight sweater for when the sun goes down — layering is key to achieving a fashionable summer outfit.

We love the idea of going for a bold, festive look with your swimwear. Take a one-piece bathing suit adorned with stars and layer a pair of shorts over the look and you can easily take the outfit from the beach to the bar — it doesn't get more versatile than that!

When it comes to footwear, keep it simple — especially if your look is more casual. Flat sandals, striped espadrilles or even a pair of Converse are a great go-to that you can rock all summer long, even after the holiday weekend is over.

If you're heading out to a more formal affair, we love the idea of rocking a gingham midi skirt and wedges. Not only is gingham the print of Summer 2015, but it also has an effortless patriotic vibe that isn't too obvious. A gingham midi would look amazing with a crop top or a tank and can also be dressed up or down — after the holiday weekend you can wear it to work!

Regardless of how you plan on celebrating, be sure to do so in style — simply SHOP our picks here.
