Accessorizing Gold Dresses
How to Accessorize Gold Dresses?
When it comes to accessorizing for dresses, gold ones are one of the hardest to match with because there are many ways to overdo the glimmering, gold appearance. Gold dresses are already pretty eye grabbing but can be a fashion faux pas with the wrong shoes or accessories that are unflattering. Many celebrities have been caught wearing too much gold, wearing shoes that totally do not match, and having contrasting clutches. Here we will focus on what types of shoes, jewelry, and clutches to accessorize gold dresses with.

Jewelry for Gold Dresses
Depending on how glossy and shimmering the gold dress is, jewelry can either enhance or make the outfit too flashy. Gold dresses that are very shimmering do not need the help of jewelry to enhance the look and any added bracelets, earrings, or necklaces, should be minimal. Gold dresses that are more bold but not shiny can be enhanced with a bracelet or earrings. Gold, silver, platinum, and studded jewelry work very well with most gold dresses.

Shoes for Gold Dresses
Shoes are going to be the most important part for matching a golden dress. The style is the first factor to consider and many types of shoes normally are not going to work including clogs and flip flops. Other relaxing footwear like flats and sandals that are dressier work too and classier heels and pumps look best. Next is to consider color and attachments. The key for matching shoes is to go with a color that compliments or downplays the color. Black is a great color that compliments most dresses including most gold ones. Gold shoes also work as long as the gold is not as powerful as the dress. Shoes with a hint of gold work best for this color. Metallic, silver shoes and natural colors like sable also work because these colors are lower key and do not conflict with the gold color. Strong, bright colors like yellow, pink, and purple are definitely conflicting colors not to wear.

Matching Clutches
The same guidelines for shoes work for clutches when it comes to gold dresses. The key is not too much gold but that does not mean gold clutches don’t work. Gold clutches can be a good compliment to a gold dress that is not too flashy. Silver, light gold, and black clutches are all very complimentary colors. The clutch below is a design by Elliot Lucca Marakkesh and features a light gold color that should match well with any gold dress. It also comes in silver which is another flattering color
