For centuries, gold and other precious metals have symbolized power, prestige, and
enduring prosperity. So perhaps today’s lackluster economy explains why so many designers
are infusing a bit of shine into wardrobe staples such as comfy sweaters. Michael
Kors is known for elevating classic silhouettes with luxurious materials, and this
season is no exception. His 2013 resort collection
is dripping with gold—knit lamé, metallic brocade, shimmering silk, and lavish lace.
Ready to embrace the glitz? We found eight foil sweaters for every style and budget.
