As the holiday Saying goes, everyone wishes for silver and gold, so this year celebrate with looks that shimmer. Ladies, seek evening gowns in warm tones with a side of sparkle, then accessorize simply with hints of diamonds. A side-sweeping updo lets your personality shine. Gentlemen, keep it simple with a warm navy, polished gray or classic black tuxedo to match your date. Treat yourself to the gold standard of style with these looks.
