Fashion “rules” are used to warn against mixing your metals but thankfully, those outdated ideas have been tossed aside! That’s why I wanted to show 3 concepts of how to wear gold and silver together with my crew.

Just like we mix different patterns and textures, combining metallics can add richness, depth, and a touch of unexpected fun to any outfit. Whether you’re dressing up for an event or styling your everyday look, I wanted to showcase 3 concepts of how to wear gold and silver together.
The thing is that we have discussed what to wear with gold, we’ve showcased glitter, and I’ve talked about silver jeans, but I’ve never thought about how to wear gold and silver together. So here are 3 concepts to give you ideas of how to give your outfits a makeover.
Metallic clothing is no longer just for fancy eveningwear. From shimmery fabrics to bold metallic accents, you can embrace gold and silver in a way that suits your personal style.
For my challenge of how to wear gold and silver together, my goal was to show how clothing items of these different colors could be styled.
I wore my silver pleated skirt bringing movement to my outfit.
The gold top peeking from underneath my plaid blazer adds warmth, balancing the coolness of the silver.
I mirrored the color of the jacket with my booties, earrings, and eyeglasses.
Pro tip: Wearing a jacket or topper to separate the gold and silver might make it easier for your eyes to get used to the combination.
Style tip: If you’re still hesitant about wearing full-on metallic clothing like in the widget above, try pieces with subtle gold and silver details. In this case, the goal is to let the shine enhance your look rather than dominate it.
Jewelry is one of the easiest and most foolproof ways to mix gold and silver. Layering necklaces, stacking rings, and/or mixing bracelets is a great way to add dimension to an outfit.
Valerie wore a variety of the two metals in her jewelry. She has 2 individual necklaces, one that is silver and closer to her face while the other is gold and hangs over her top.
Insider tip: Stop worrying about the metal hardware on your purse or belt. Since we are learning that it’s okay to mix metals, it shouldn’t matter what color the hardware is.
The best part of the look is how her earrings have both gold and silver in their design.
Wearing gold footwear is also a fabulous idea for how to wear gold and silver together. Metallic shoes go with absolutely anything and everything.

The beauty of mixed-metal jewelry is that it allows you to wear all of your favorite pieces together—no need anymore to choose between gold or silver!
Style tip: Buy jewelry that has both gold and silver in its design to make it easier to mix the metals.
If you want to dip your toes into the gold-silver mix without committing to clothing or jewelry, accessories are the way to go! Lesley wanted to showcase this with her belt, scarf, and purse.
Not all gold has to be shiny gold. Lesley is using the back of her patterned purse to give off a matte gold vibe.
The belt has both gold and silver as part of its design and the scarf mirrors the belt in that same respect.
Insider tip: Belts are for women of any and every size. Lesley will tell you that her body shape is that of a zucchini, and yet her example shows how terrific the accessory can look.

The key to pulling off this look is to make sure your metallic accents feel intentional rather than random. A good rule of thumb is to have 3 things of the same color/concept.
But trust me when I say, that 1 really cool, standout item will be just as wonderful.
Mixing gold and silver doesn’t have to be about breaking fashion rules. Instead, think about using this concept to embrace your style in a way that feels fun and creative. Whether you’re wearing metallic clothing, layering jewelry, or accessorizing, there are countless ways to incorporate both tones into your wardrobe.
