How to wear GOLD: day and night looks in gold


Wearing gold is an attitude!

Be bold ... wear GOLD!

A color often associated with wealth and glamor, gold is one of the most fashion-friendly, easy-to-wear hues out there!  Take a peek below for some of the best ways to incorporate it into your fashion closet.

Seasonal combinations of color that'll work well with gold include chocolate brown, navy and dark burgundy in fall. Try soft peaches, creams and mint greens in the spring.  

Accessories are another great way to get gold into your get up. Small clutches, or earrings or groupings of bangles act as an accent to other patterns, colors and prints.

If you've always been more inclined to wear silver or platinum, try introducing gold in small steps. Buy inexpensive earrings or a big chunky ring.  And if you're not into jewelry, opt instead for a feminine, beaded clutch. The color, mixed with embellishments and textures, will add a touch of glamor to your most basic standbys.

    I have always LOVED gold and it used to get such a bad rap. It offsets black, looks classy and EVERY skintone can wear it. Check out Kate Hudson's gold jewelry in Bride Wars! Gold is great :-) Thanks for the post!
