Our Favorite Ways To Wear Black And Gold - Winter 2023/2024's Chicest Color Trend

Holiday colors are typically silver and gold, but level up your outfit this winter by pairing gold with a chicer, moodier black. The color combo is timeless, and while silver will never go out of style, gold is a more sophisticated option when choosing jewelry and metallic attire. When wearing an all-black ensemble, nothing will make your 'fit pop more than a dazzling sprinkling of gilt. Or how about accessorizing your gold outfit with black jewelry and shoes? The contrast will be stark and all the better to make you stand out in a crowd.

Since black and gold go with everything, it's natural for those colors to mesh well together. However, don't overwhelm your outfit with a third shade or another metallic. This look is all about being simple and clean, but with drama, of course. You can't wear gold if you want to blend into the background, especially if you're shining brighter than a star on a Christmas tree.

Level up your little black dress (LBD) with a gold cage detail around your waist. This ready-made accessory is perfect for your next holiday party. Add some dangly earrings, adorn your fingers with matching rings, and grab a metallic clutch when you're ready to twinkle into the night.

Goth has been trending in 2023, so why not end the year wearing your favorite Wednesday Addams-inspired outfit with a twist? All black can get a tad boring at times. However, gold embellishments will bring life to your look. In addition, studded combat boots go with most outfits and are the perfect 2023 winter accessory, as well as a blazer with gold detailing along the sleeves, which gives cool marching band vibes.

You only need a simple pair of black trousers to complete the outfit when you wear something as flashy and intricate as a shiny gold crop top. The statement piece is meant to be head-turning, and anything that competes with it will be overboard. A gold cuff bracelet in a matching shade is all you need as an accessory. Keep the silhouette of your bottom half cohesive with a pair of strappy black heels.

Switch things around by letting gold be the primary color of your 'fit this winter season, and use black to accessorize. Try a gold with hints of ebony to break up the monotony, and opt for details like a cinched waist and thick collar to achieve an interesting silhouette. Gold shoes would be excessive; however, you can add patent leather black knee-high boots for even more shine.

Even if you aren't going anywhere fancy, you can still incorporate black and gold into your outfit. A sweater and skirt with gold detailing tie the two pieces together seamlessly. Make sure the shades of gold are similar and in the same tone. Mixing cool and warm golds will clash. When in doubt, stick to undertones that lean toward yellow.

Head-to-toe black can sometimes be a bit yawn-inspiring, but not when you jazz up your outfit with gold accessories. A pair of disco-inspired shoes is a great closet staple, as they go with pretty much any shade. Wear them with a long black dress for a night out, and the metallic sheen will surely pop. Add a thick gold choker to balance the look, and your 'fit will be anything but basic.
