The '90s gave us so many iconic trends that have made their way back onto the runways this year. From chokers to the mini-est of miniskirts, '90s fashion is here to stay. That includes chainmail, the edgy metal mesh that today makes up the season's hottest clothes and accessories, from slinky slips to party-ready shoes.

Ahead you'll find a selection of chainmail pieces we love. Whether you want to go all out with a chainmail top or just accessorize with a little glitz, you'll find something fabulous to integrate into your winter (and year-round) wardrobe.
