Gilded is reminiscent of an age of epicurean opulence, giving the illusion of heavy ornamentation and dripping jewels. Its beauty belies its intrinsic comfort. True to twenty-first century standards, Gilded is just as at home over jeans or a dress as joggers. Concomitantly, it possesses a strong 70s vibe with the colorful yoke and roomy sleeves.
