Gold has always had a place in fashion. Usually coming out in full force during the festive season, it’s rare to catch it during the spring beyond accessories. But now with Ramadan bringing out the most fashionable, we’re also starting to notice gold becoming more prevalent. From kaftans to shoes, fashion seems to have caught the Midas touch, allowing the warm hue to shine through.
When you think about it, gravitating towards gold during this season makes complete sense. With most gatherings taking place after sunset, gold-trimmed abayas, belts, and clutches catch the light, subtly illuminating the wearer. Whereas the runways haven’t been shying away from gold either. Between Annie’s Ibiza and Edeline Lee’s AW26 collections, these past fashion weeks have also embraced the gold. For the SS26 season, Roberto Cavalli dedicated an entire presentation to the hue, featuring looks that were rich, bold, and deliciously warm. Now, sitting in the midst of Spring 2026, it looks like Fausto Puglisi was right on the nose with his collection.
Sitting between subtle and statement, here are the pieces dipped in gold worth noting.
