HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY GOLD CHRISTMAS

 To describe the main focus of winter 2016-17 I need only one word, Gold. The trend includes clothes as well as accessories. I would even say that this is one of the biggest tendency followed by many designers, like Loewe, Gucci, Valentino (pictures), Hilfiger, Saint Laurent, Ralph Lauren, Lanvin, D&G and more. Inventors of this idea wanted to encourage us to wear gold on daily basis, to experiment with it on many levels. In my opinion it might be not the best view. 
  
Loewe fall/winter 2016-2017                          Gucci fall/winter 2016-2017
  
Valentino fall/winter 2016-2017                 Dior boots, available in gold without sparkling elements.

First of all, this colour is reserved for special occasions and events, it's glamorous and luxury looking. By reducing it to the category of basic or ''everyday'' we're depriving it's unique tone and elegant shine. 
 Secondly, we will look a bit funny. Just imagine a person in a gold sparkling dress standing at the bus station, or a business man in a gold suit. It's even not about looking hilarious, because nowadays anyone can look crazy and make it a ''cool thing'', my generation doesn't seem to think too much..unfortunately. We have this problem that we don't stick to any rules, we still want everything to be lumped together. ''If silk short dress was meant to be wore in bed, let's make it a casual dress!'' My God, please, this isn't fashion, it's desperation, running out of ideas. Sometimes turning something upside down won't be a success. There are things which should stay in their place because it's a tradition, yes even fashion has a tradition. 
 Personally I love gold, it's honestly my favourite colour. But it should have this magic flare instead of being associated with a t-shirt. 
After all, I'm afraid that designers are trying to impress or surprise us too much. I absolutely understand a collection of beautiful, gold dresses for Christmas or New Years Eve but I don't get the idea of wearing gold outfit in every day. And that what's happening right now. Gold shirt's, shoes, skirts, jackets or active wear! 
  I'm a bit confused, maybe in future there won't be any rules and we will wear swimsuit for a dinner with family.. I may be overreacting but every change has a small beginning.
