I am not a big fan of gold. I find it gaudy, old and too loud for my taste. Of course, it is also tacky when not done right. That said, I like this indigo and gold piece - there's something about this contrast that works and looks good street-wear wise.
Maybe because it doesn't look very gold but the two-tone colored plaited stitching works very well. It adds an edge and a sense of punk aesthetic to this zipper piece. The two chest pockets make for convenient storage slots.
I also like how the gold is visible from the inside by means of the folded-out collar - a hit of gold that only adds to the contrast and detail of this piece.
Get this for US$68 at Urban Outfitters.
