Are You A Silver Or A Gold Girlie?

You can wear what you want, or your skin tone can help you decide.

With the return of Y2K trends, silver is having a major fashion moment – but is it really your vibe? Should you dress your outfit up with gold or silver accessories? Generally speaking, we say go with your gut, wear whatever you want, but a filter on TikTok has us second guessing ourselves. If it hasn’t already popped up on your FYP, there’s a way to figure out if your skin has cool or warm undertones, similar to the colour analysis trend, and it’s supposed to determine whether you’re a gold or silver girlie. First world problems can be tough, lucky we’re here to help solve them. Here’s our take on silver vs gold jewellery and which suits who best.

The Silver Lining

If you feel personally victimised by the sun every summer, raise your hand. This ones for our porcelain skin girls with red and paler undertones. You’ll be pleased to know that silver looks super eye-catching on your skin; no accessory goes unnoticed. More good news is that if you haven’t started investing in the space junk silver trend, now’s your time to do so. Silver has a tendency of making fair skin look super radiant, and if you’re not sure whether you fit this blueprint, check out your wrist/hand veins; blue veins = the silver tick of approval.

The Golden Rule

If at least one of your grandparents can be seen sporting a long gold chain from their neck with a solid cultural symbol dangling between their chest (IYKYK), listen up. Having olive skin which grows golden in warm climates means you need jewellery to match your tan. Gold tones look gorge dancing on tanned, mediterranean and darker skin; the combo is so iconic, it could give Barbie and Ken a run for their money. Accessories ranging from dainty arm candy to layered necklaces look best in gold if your veins tend to be on the greener side.
