gold pants

Wearing gold pants is a great way to stand-out from the crowd. Wear plain gold pants and tone them down with neutral tops for work-appropriate wear, or go over the top with bold prints, shiny fabrics and touches of lurex for evening wear that will get you noticed. These gold pants at Stylight feature different designs, from shorts to skinny jeans, palazzos to cropped styles. Gold teams well with black, and looks good with nude or gray shoes.

How To Grunge Up Your Gold Pants

They’re the kind of piece that you see and instantly want. And what’s not to love? Gold pants are shiny, theatrical and utterly fabulous, but attempt to style them and all too often you’ll end up looking more ostentatious than you bargained for. But all is not lost—we’re breaking down how to style your gold pants with enough edge to tone down the sparkle.

Don’t shy away from the Midas touch. Here’s how to wear your gold pants the chill way.

Stick To Neutrals

When working with gold, it’s best to pair it with pieces that aren’t too distracting. The shiny gold of your bottoms is already attention-seeking enough, so go for accompaniments in white, gray or black in lieu of anything printed or colorful. If the look is too boring, a striped tee can lend a hand without becoming too overwhelming, but stay away from dots, florals or animal print.

Add a Military Element

The quickest way to add a grungy feel to an outfit is introducing either flannel or military details. Since plaid is a bit much with shiny pants, go instead for a flak jacket in olive drab and black leather boots that take the blinding sheen of your pants down a notch. The gold also pays lip service to the military look by recalling uniform decorations and trims. At ease, soldier!

Go Loose

While your gold pants should fit your body closely so as to avoid weird shiny bagginess, nothing else you wear should be super-tight. Go too fitted in your top and you’ll look ready for the club, and not in a good way. Instead, stick to breezy, casual silhouettes like a boatneck tee or a menswear-style button-down with an oversized jacket and chunky shoes. It’s usually cooler to look chill and relaxed than it is to look like you’re trying to be sexy—keep that in mind as a rule of thumb when wearing your most audacious pieces.

When you style your gold pants the right way, you’ll end up with a sexy, burnished antique feel rather than a flashy Las Vegas vibe. They might just end up being your favorite piece in your closet.

Introduce a little sparkle to your trousers.
