There's no question that Rabanne reigns when it comes to chain mail clothing and accessories. The Spanish brand has been producing flashy pieces since the mid-60s. Expect the fashion house to experience a major surge next year since Pinterest Predicts is betting on the fact that castlecore will conquer all of our closets.
How did our friends over at Pinterest come to such a conclusion? Well, users are searching for everything from "blue medieval dress" (up 85 percent) to "chainmail necklace" (up 45 percent). In case you're wondering, the excitement also extends to home decor with "castle house plans" surging.
While we can't really get into the whole impending medieval dress obsession, we're all in on chain mail. Historically referring to armor comprised of linking small metal rings, there's something very fashion-forward about the process. See Rabanne. The dazzling metallic creations are made for New Year's Eve or any major milestone.
For this list, we're sticking to more traditional takes of silver and black. Even with that restriction, there's plenty to choose from. And not just thanks to Rabanne. Isabel Marant, Jil Sander, Versace and Sportmax all offer exquisite designs that double as sartorial shields. There are also less-expensive options. Like Ancient Greek Sandals' glitzy footwear for $127, Karl Lagerfeld Jeans' branded chainmail top at $159 and Silence + Noise's metallic tank top priced at $99.
Shop the best chain mail clothing, shoes and accessories below. Some are more suited to spring and summer rather than winter, but, heck, you have a whole year to embrace the trend.
