Trendspotting - Black & Gold

I've got a feeling that "Black & Gold" is in. I'm completely in love with these two colours of late and while they can easily border towards being too gaudy, if used judiciously they can look extremely chic. Black and Gold can be used together to create glam rock n roll outfits, elegant party wears, traditional interiors, festive décors and basically to spruce up anything that's dull and boring. Here's a mood board of some Black and Gold extraordinaire...

The Black and Gold look is easy to achieve. The only thing one must bear in mind is to restrict yourself from going over board with your new found Midas Touch. Dull gold and lighter shades of gold go well with jet black. Bling-bling shiny gold is best teamed up with shades of grey or faded black materials. Add in a third colour like white, light pink or cream if you find black and gold too loud to pull off. If you are daring enough you can create some really eye-catching and stunning effects by adding a third colour - silver to these two colours. The great thing about a Black and Gold combo is that it is timeless and will always look good season after season.

Have a Stylish Weekend!
