I may still be reeling from the attraction of the Oscars, but the night of Hollywood glamour has me seeing gold. Despite the popularity of the darker metallic trend that saw Naomi Watts, Sandra Bullock, and Stacy Kiebler donning dresses in the gun metal shade on the Oscars red carpet, I'm dreaming of gold, luscious gold. This lush metallic is typically incorporated into our wardrobe on special occassions, but here, I make a case for the everyday.
An easy pair of capri pants, like these Cafe Jacquard Capri Pants by J.Crew, or this simple, fitted Danny Lace Skirt by Topshop, provide two sophisticated ways to work gold into your wardrobe. Pair either with a simple, crisp white button-down shirt and you are business casual ready.
A loose fitting Camille Shinco gold dress by All Saints is an easy dress for a night out with the girls.
Accents like a slim fitting gold belt by All Saints, a gold lace cuff by Stella & Dot, or a quirky teapot pin, are simple ways to inject a luxe feel into a regular outfit. Mixing these items into styles with heavier, more unexpected, fabrics like tweed will have an even more noticeable impact.
Prefer to wear your gold on your toes? Both this pair of Anastasia glitter loafer by Witchery and this sandal with metal trim by ASOS, would work well with a pair of boyfriend jeans or with a short fitted skirt.
Finish off your fingers with a layer of gold collection nailpolish by SpaRitual.
Ride the Oscars gold rush and embrace this luxe metallic in the every day.
