But there is a cautionary warning. Silver can be a tough color to wear. You need oodles of confidence and the right occasion to pull it off with panache. Having said that, styling a dress in this color is not as difficult as it seems. The key to be the center of attention (for all the right reasons) is to keep it simple. It also depends on the fabric that your dress is made of; depending on whether your outfit has a glossy finish or a matte one, your style of accessorizing needs to differ.
