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 daily duds.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Assorted gold accessories and clothing
  1. Step 1

    Choose your golds wisely. Brassy, yellow gold can be harsh on some complexions. The best shades have hints of coolness to them. Think white, rose and matte gold.

  2. Step 2

    Whether it's a sequin party dress, a soft satin shirt or a short, velvet mini, gold is definitely a statement. That means leave the head-to-toe gold at the Disco and pair with simple neutrals.

  3. Step 3

    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.

  4. Step 4

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

  5. Step 5

    Finally, 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.

Tips & Warnings
  • Remember that too much gold can cheapen the overall effect. That means if you wear it on your body, don't wear it on your face.
