Club Trend: All Gold Everything
The darkly lit club is a place where fashion has always had a platform; the nightclub is a catwalk show in every sense. Everyone dons their ‘Saturday best’ to show off their well thought out style choices, or even to show their rejection of the conventional ideas of fashion. That’s not to say that you have to go all out, in head-to-toe vintage Versace paisley print to catch people’s attention.
Most people nowadays are just opting for a simple statement. One or two pieces of jewellery, but the chunkier the better. All gold everything, fake or real is the new thing. Think MC hammer meets your stereotypical English ‘chav’. The bigger the better so grab your interlinked chain necklace and matching bracelet, slip on some rings by the gold plated pound and opt for something toned down to wear so that jewellery really shines.
The price of gold is up so it’s never been more important to show your appreciation with some cheapo tat. It’s almost so bad it’s good.
Rules to follow are; Make sure your hoops are so big a bus can drive through them, always make sure the bracelet you are wearing means you can’t lift your wrist above your head – even for the drop, and the chain you are wearing must leave a bruise the next day from all the dancing.
Gogo Phillip would be a good place to start looking for your next purchase with their weed leaf or 3d geometric earrings. They also have a selection of rings that seek a double take. Most of their jewellery has that vintage feel that wouldn’t look out of place paired with a padded shoulder blazer from the 80s.
Or check the Stussy website for some skate wear inspired bling. Their signature monogram is spelt out over belts and cuff bracelets or in stud earrings. If you have a little more cash to splash head over to Maria Francesca Pepe who will make your eyes light up at her playful and ‘goldtastic’ designs. There’s also nothing like an old school Casio watch to sit amongst your other over-the-top accessories.
Now you’ve had your initiation you can go forth onto your gold hunting adventure.
