A Touch of Gold
A touch of an accent as bold as gold will bring life to any outfit. Neutral tones may typically dominate fall wardrobes but, to add a glam factor, gold is the go-to luxurious shade in high demand this season.
Metallics have been hot for a while, but gold has never been so prominent. With so many shades, textures, and styles to choose from, it’s hard not to jump on the gold wagon this season and add a little glamour to your fall wardrobe. The otherwise formal metallic can create a high-contrast look when paired with a simple knit sweater and khakis, or dark denim jeans and a fitted blouse.
Whether it's in a shiny gold leather jacket by Phillip Lim or in Jason Wu's slinky gold leaf tunic dress, the rare material is being used by designers to make strong statement pieces.
The decadent shade makes for a variety of options, from trousers in muted tones appropriate for the office, to mini dresses beaded in gold sequins, to gilded accessories that excude modern elegance and sophistication.
