Cardigans with gold buttons

Is a Gold button on a cardigan too much?

Posted by Caroline Teakle on

From Stella McCartney to fashion retailers worldwide, we’re seeing how a simple gold button can elevate an everyday look. Once reserved for more formal tailoring, gold accents are now finding their place in modern, wearable wardrobes — subtle, versatile, and quietly luxurious.

Worn back with casual staples, a gold button becomes the detail you didn’t know you were missing. Styled alongside denim, knits, or relaxed tailoring, it adds just enough polish without feeling overdone. Pair it with other gold accents: jewellery, a belt buckle, or a watch, and the look feels instantly more considered, effortlessly high-end.

Let's dive into some recent street-style inspirations to show you how a gold button cardigan can elevate everyday outfits with minimal effort.

For a more understated approach, we looked to @montaineleb. Her tonal grey-and-black styling feels refined and chic, a look that can easily be recreated with our Black Brushed Cardigan. Here, the gold button becomes the finishing touch, subtly anchoring the outfit and pulling the entire look together.

In contrast, when worn with a mix of colours and textures, as seen in her cream cardigan styled back with mid-blue denim, the gold buttons act as a unifying element. Despite the variation in accessories, the gold detailing brings cohesion, lending the outfit a distinctly Parisian ease.

This season, we’re excited to introduce a gold button to our most-loved, best-selling Brushed Cardigan. Thoughtfully chosen and intentionally understated, the gold buttons add depth and versatility, taking the cardigan seamlessly from relaxed daytime wear to a more elevated, considered look.
