Stay Golden: How To Channel AW23’s Golden Hour Trend

By Mariella Tandy

Yellow isn’t just for summer


Golden hour is upon us. It’s the brightest trend lighting up the runway this season – and after a rather dreary summer, we could do with a little more shine in the coming months. Mariella Tandy shows us how to channel buttery yellows, rich ambers and soft jasmines into our wardrobe for AW23.

The Country & Town House Responsible Buyers’ Guide

In its quest to capture the essence of summer as before it completely fades, the fashion industry has turned to buttery warm notes of orange and yellow this season. Evoking the feeling of warm evenings and marigold sunsets – spent laughing and enjoying time with friends – ‘golden hour’ is a trend that brings the atmosphere of summer with us into the colder months.

The look can easily be achieved by adding a pop of a light yellow or orange to your outfit. Or, if you prefer a more maximalist take, you can layer these shades in a column of gold that will surely brighten up any autumn day.
