What to wear with gold?

 - What to wear with gold?
Gold is always precious and just as special every day as on big occasions, be it handed down from your gran, given to you at your Conformation or by your boyfriend. Gold is chic, unique and precious, but unfortunately it doesn't go with everything. It’s sometimes difficult to match with clothes and other pieces of jewellery. How do you do gold without looking overly bling? 
 
Yellow gold
Bright gold should be worn with care with different outfits for different occasions. 
 
During the day
For discreet chic: Slim gold rings matched with tops with big sleeves make your hands look slim! If you want to show off a thin gold necklace, wear a little blouse with a neckline that's not too low. One piece of gold is enough to make you look elegant and classy, but no more.
For full-on chic: Wear a long gold necklace to dress up a floaty little dress, loose top or V-neck sweater and match with gold costume bangles or little earrings. Avoid overloading yourself with accessories: it will make your look heavy, especially if you're full-figured.
 
At night
For glam: A gold cuff bracelet is cool and sexy. Wear with a low-cut black dress and a simple, chic slim gold necklace and enhance your bust with shimmering spray or cream.
 
Colours that go well with yellow gold
Brown, black, taupe, orange and pastels such as pink and burgundy.
 
White gold
White gold is usually worn more casually than yellow. It's younger, more modern and very popular. It goes with anything and can be matched with other jewellery more easily.
 
During the day
For discreet chic: Wear a white gold ring and matching bracelet with a brightly coloured skirt and a black or white top.
For full-on chic: Wear white gold with anything you want, even coloured charms. Any colour goes: just make sure your outfit isn't too multicoloured otherwise it will overpower your jewellery. 
 
At night
For glam: A sequinned dress or a two-tone outfit and drop earrings. Simple but sexy.
 
Colours that go well with white gold
Bright raspberry, scarlet, turquoise, plum or yellow (but not orange).Grey or off white are also perfect!
