Whether you are headed out for a night on the town or looking to add modern flair to an everyday outfit, pairing black and gold is a surefire way to ramp up the sophistication quotient. When the luxuriousness of gold meets mysterious, moody black, high fashion drama ensues.
Bring on the Bling
Add pizazz to your little black dress or any all black ensemble with gold tone accessories. With black as a backdrop, gold bracelets and necklaces will pop. Don't stop there. Gold belts and bags will help tie in the gilded look.
Fabrics with Flair
You don't need to rely on accessories to capture this bold look. Bring it by opting for fabrics using both black and gold. Think rich silks interwoven with gold metallic threads. Don't forget about animal magnetism. Sexy cheetah and leopard print fabrics are nature's way of saying I'm on the prowl -- and can be yours as well.
Shoes with Shine
From strappy sandals to sequined gold pumps, shoes are another chic way to up the gilded ante on an all black ensemble. Footwear doesn't have to be super dressy either. Add jaunt to your step when you opt for metallic cowboy boots or glittery gold tennis shoes.
Daytime Drama
Bring sizzle back to daytime. Black and gold isn't just for after 6 p.m. Think black skinny jeans and casual tank layered with gold chain belts. Give your work look a boost by adding a brushed gold pendant to your black turtleneck and pencil skirt. For even more daytime drama consider gold leggings accessorized with black bangles and boots.
