Tis the season to party and we suggest this year you go for the gold—literally and affordably—with our under $100 holiday fashion trends inspired by the many fashion designers who used gold so beautifully in their Fall 2010 collections. We find this a perfect season to embrace the metallic hue that's forever warm and luxurious. Gold clothing and accessories invoke a variety of moods, as seen on the fashion runways: the soft romance of designer Marc Jacob's vintage inspired brocade; the gutsy glam of Balmain’s body conscious, fringed minis; the goth opulence of Lanvin; the chic minimalism from Dries Van Noten and the severities inspired elegance of fashion designer Phillip Lim's shimmering two piece suit. And because gold styles compliment black, neutrals, jewel tones, even other metallics, your options are endless when combining gold clothing and accessories with items you already have in your closet at home.

Although gold styles have been resurfacing as a fashion trend on and off the runways for years (and both online listings and sales for Clothing, Shoes and Accessories items on eBay with the term "gold" are up 7% in the past month vs. 6 months prior), it's possible that the thought of donning a bold metallic has you revisiting (and possibly regretting) some fashion faux pas from your past. We, however, promise you will not resemble a bridesmaid, an 80's prom queen or a showgirl. And with prices that don't break the bank, you can feel better about taking a fashion risk. Still feeling commitment-phobic? Try a touch of gold makeup, gold nail polish or wear it in the form of one bold statement accessory like a gold cocktail ring or embellished bangle.  Elevate your tried (tired?) and true little black dress this holiday and, instead, go boldly—“goldly”—into the night.
