Rise and Shine

Formally a combination acknowledged as of an old-fashioned persuasion, black and gold join forces to create one of the season’s top trends, especially for holiday attire. Whether you’re talking 24 karat luster or the earthier hues of goldenrod and saffron, when mixed with inky black there’s an undeniably arresting effect.

Today’s trend is an amplified reflection of the classic combination. Rather than using gold as a simple and subtle accent (still perfectly on-trend, too), the shade is a brassy statement. Broad swaths of gold cloth and bright spots of colour are given definition by black blocked borders. Where the old is about sober and conservative accents, the new is suffused with a limitless and bold vigor.

So this season you can keep your classics, but why not give them new life with an eye-catching clutch or luxe top. Shop the trend at UrbanMinx to kick start your holiday wardrobe.
