Piled on Gold



    There's no doubt about it- this season designers went crazy for the luxurious and striking color combo of black and gold.  Runways were dripping in gold plated drama in a variety of fabrics from metal to sequins to ornate embroidery.  During award season celebrities donned black and gold gems on the red carpet.  Regal and rich, gold and black is the perfect palette so it’s no surprise that it’s popping up everywhere — both on and off the red carpet.  Luckily, this luxe trend is extremely easy to pull off.  
    So what makes this particular combo so desirable? There’s a certain fierce factor, particularly in the way black and gold are being worn, that makes any outfit cutting edge.  But the real appeal of the glam color pairing is how easily it can translate from the red carpet to real life.  No longer just for purses or evening gowns, the timeless color combo is being reworked on just about every element of your wardrobe, from embroidered dresses to metallic cap-toe pumps to brocade pants, to increase its real-world versatility. A blazer or pair of pants in gold and black brocade can easily take you from the office to out, with a few styling tricks. Instantly dress up jeans or black skinnies with pair of black-and-gold colorblocked pumps.
And when it comes to party-wear, a cocktail dress in the rich color combo is a worthy investment. Dress it up with strappy heels and red lips and it can hold its own at a black-tie function.  Dress it down with flats and a cardigan or leather jacket, and you’ve got yourself a chic night-out look.
