Refusing to pick a side is in. Mixing silver and gold jewelry—once considered a fashion faux pas—has reemerged as one of the season’s easiest styling plays, spotted across NY Fashion Week runways and on the wrists, necks and fingers of street-style regs. The old “rule” about picking a single metal? Consider it officially retired.
Don’t overthink it—the appeal is in the effortlessness. Done right, the look is chic yet low maintenance. Start small with your go-to tone as a base (gold for warmer skin tones, silver for cooler) and layer in the opposite as contrast.
The key is balance. Try throwing on a shorter silver chain with your usual gold necklace-and-earring pairing, stack a single gold band among your everyday silver rings, or mix hoop finishes across each ear. For a more structured approach, block the metals: gold at the fingers, silver at the neck and ears—or vice versa. The repetition yields a cohesive look while still delivering dimension. For something bolder, lean into a full stacked moment with as many mixed-metal necklaces and rings as you fancy.
One jewelry “house rule” worth keeping? Wear it like it’s second nature for a more mod, warm-meets-cool sitch that feels unforced. Mixed metals work best when they feel lived in—not labored. The goal isn’t symmetry; it’s rhythm. A little warmth, a little cool, all in sync. Find multitoned inspo locally for your arsenal—er, jewelry box—here.

Reacquaint yourself with the square scarf, the accessory seen everywhere—rivaling “it” shoes and bags at fashion weeks and becoming the new shorthand for style fluency, even. It’s a tale (er, style) as old as time: Bandanas and scarfs were sported by Old Hollywood icons like Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn circa the ’50s and ’60s, and their versatility lives on today—with styling ranging from “la dolce vita” to “yeehaw.” Here’s how to wear the cult buy and where to find it locally.
Anthropologie’s first-ever Maeve storefront—right here in Raleigh
Village District has long been a go-to for both local gems and national names—but now it’s adding something entirely new to the mix. This fall, Anthropologie is debuting its first-ever standalone store for in-house brand Maeve—and handpicked Raleigh to launch it.

Known for its statement-making, joy-inducing pieces and cult following, Maeve has built a massive fanbase through Anthropologie stores and online. The label’s popularity—and strong performance—set the stage for something bigger.
“We have so many communities that celebrate the Maeve style and sentiment, and the Raleigh-Durham market is at the top of our list,” says Mindy Massey, Anthropologie’s global executive director of retail. Village District, she tells RM, offers the perfect place to tell the Maeve story—with a loyal customer base to match.
Now, slated to bow in the former Coastal Urge space, the new standalone storefront gives Maeve room to grow beyond the Anthropologie racks—and officially step out on its own.
The concept marks the latest evolution for the URBN brand portfolio, Anthropologie’s parent company (also behind Free People, Urban Outfitters and more), which has been steadily spinning off its house brands into standalone destinations—and has long had eyes on Raleigh. Village District already hosts URBN’s FP Movement—and is now primed to add another national first to its lineup.
It’s a major get for the district—and for the city as a whole. When international brands start testing fresh concepts in Raleigh, you know it’s a market worth watching. And Raleigh is ready. anthropologie.com
