With the Olympics just underway, there are only three precious metals on everyone's minds; gold, silver and bronze. You may be asking yourself why the medal order is gold, silver and bronze? This is due to the order being determined by the rarity of the metals, where bronze is predominately made from copper which is not as rare as silver and of course gold. Although gold is attributed with success and victory; something can be said for the subtle shine of silver metals. Last but certainly not least is bronze; a metallic brown shade that gives a warm welcoming hue to all who wear it.
The three metals used for Olympic medals can be seen to inspire fashion with individuals incorporating gold, silver and bronze colours into their daily wardrobe, through jewellery and other accessories. In evening wear, silver does not come runner-up to gold, as silver dresses and accessories are equally as beautiful and can be styled in an abundance of ways. All it comes down to is personal preference; think about what colour jewellery and accessories you gravitate towards, this will indicate which metallic palettes suit your undertones.
Golden Moments
Gold is the colour of success and affluence. It is the colour that is most often linked to champions. The Olympics chose gold for winners as it is a striking shade that shines with a unique glow unlike any of the other metals. Gold metallic fabric and sequins create a luxurious appearance, creating an eye catching look that won’t go unnoticed. For your next black tie formal event feel like a victor in an elegant gold floor length metallic gown. Or for your next garden party, a knee length sequin cocktail dress is the perfect choice as it glistens with your every step.
Silver Linings
Silver offers a softer alternative to gold, exuding grace and elegance. Its cool undertones pair beautifully with lighter hues, adding a touch of sophistication, while also complementing darker shades for a sleek, modern edge. Silver accessories are highly sought after, from silver teardrop earrings, and sparkly headbands to dainty hairpins. Silver is a shade that is timeless and won’t go out of style. Remember to finish your award winning silver look with a touch of shimmer whether that be your gown or a touch of silver shimmer on the eyelids.
A Fusion Of Bronze
Bronze, a chic blend of copper and tin, pairs perfectly with brown colour palettes and embodies a youthful glow. Much like the rich tones of brown, bronze brings a natural elegance to any outfit. Bronze can also be associated with rose gold colour palettes as it gives off a warm tone and radiates against all skin tones. Rose gold is a feminine colour that is highly versatile, as it can be styled with both lighter and darker tones that contrast with rose gold. A rose gold floor sweeping sequin gown can pair perfectly with silver heels for your next spring wedding or black tie event.
