The Rules of Mixing Metals in Accessorizing

A predictable theme in fashion is metallic bags, chains, buckles and shoes. There are occasions that call for simplicity, while other style statements require multiple metals. Getting the right look is easy with a few rules for effectively mixing metals. Luckily, mixing your gold jewelry with the exact color tone may be a thing of the past, freeing you up for loads of fashion fun.

Bold accessory accents help dress up a look. For example, classic gold Romanesque medallions can decorate multiple straps on heeled boots, leather bags and belts. Combining silver and gold in subtle ways has been a staple on the runway, but now colors are boldly mingled -- copper with silver, rose with yellow gold and every combination in between. New styles in shoes and handbags feature colored metallic leathers, like pink, copper and silvery blue that can be mixed or more classically matched.

A touch of gold can be subtle in pearl or diamond earrings, but for black-tie galas, a fountain of metal finishes is even better when carefully put together. A simple white, cream or black dress can be adorned in multiple gold or white-gold finishes, or even a mixture of both. Mixing metallics for evening loses impact and elegance unless it is repeated in two or more places, such as a metallic braid, a few different metal bangles and a purse with some of the same metal colors. Black is best when it is accented with gold, bronze or silver mixed in a variety of ways.

For a suit or dress, pairings of two metals work simply. Mix gold with silver, silver with pewter, gold with brass, copper with rose gold or rose gold-and yellow gold together. A monochromatic wardrobe look is an elegant approach that solid-color metals work well with -- especially for neutrals like navy, black, tan, cream and white. Additionally, a bracelet, brooch, handbag trim and belt buckle all in a gold or brass finish is an easy formula for elegance.

Take an easy step into metals by pairing a gold oxford with brassy bronze metallics for casual wear. A mix of brightly colored metallic fabrics can be paired with silver metal accessories for contrast. For extra fun with metals, dabble in metallic cosmetics. Mixing metallics in makeup can be dazzling or overkill; so keep this type of cosmetic use confined to two to three placements, such as the brow bone, cheekbone and eyeliner for a finished look.
