That the buckles or decor on your shoes and handbag (aka hardware) match your jewelry color.
On Shabbos or if I go to a bris, most often I wear white gold or silver - also diamonds or cz
BUT - most of my shoes, that aren’t plain, have gold embellishment

Is this something you would pay attention to FOR YOURSELF

For reference I’m almost 60
I come from a generation that shoe, matched purse, matched belt and lip color matched nail color.
I do understand that TRENDY PEOPLE don’t follow these rules

Also what color do you paint your nails in the winter time something Classic Timeless

I know- GET A LIFE, but every time I get dressed I always wonder

Yes I try to do all silver or all gold. But I will have diamonds with another color. Nails I always do a pale pink, no matter the season. I guess winter more sheer and summer more pink/white color.

I don't mind mixing metals, especially since I always wear yellow gold bangles on one hand and white gold rings on my other hand. Sometimes I wear yellow gold rings with the bangles. Other times I will purposely add a white gold bracelet to that hand, with no ring. I only wear white gold bracelets on my hand with my white gold rings.
My earrings and necklace will always match metals.
For handbag and shoes I like the metal to match each other, but my jewelry is usually both white and yellow gold, so I'll wear either hardware, as long as shoes and handbag are matching.
Red and burgundy nails in the winter, pinks, peaches and whites in the summer.

Some people look good in matching, some people look good in mismatched. It comes down to individual vibe, not trends and not generation.

If you look good in white metal, it makes sense to wear it closer to your skin and face and it’s more forgiving to wear yellow or rosegold ln your belt or shoes

It used to be a faux pas to mix metals. Now, many fashionable people do it on purpose.
For me, It will depend on the size of the piece and if they blend well together.

Lol no it doesn't bother me. I actually like it. I have a yellow gold watch, white gold bracelet and wedding ring and rose gold eternity band. I wear them all daily. Trendy people are happy with mixed metals:)

Also, you sound more classic than trendy. I don't wear classic timeless nail polish, in the winter I wear something moodier, a dark mauve or brown usually.

II don't much care for the look of mixed metals unless mixed in one item, e g. a tricolor ring or such. Until receiving my engagement ring, I didn't even like diamonds set in yellow gold. (Still don't, really, but...)

However, living space is too short to have multiple items just so you can always match your metals, and life's too short to get bent out of shape over metals that don't match.

I have flat shoes that have a bulky chain in front- nothing fancy - really comfortable though.
If I wear those shoes should I wear gold jewelry

It bothers if it doesn’t suit them but it’s not inherently wrong

I think that mixing metals is a bit like mixing prints. You need to have an eye for it. Sometimes it can look amazing and sometimes it can look horrendous. I do think that successfully mixing metals is easier than prints, but the premise is the same. You need to know what works.

Shoe buckle and bracelets and earrings are a far distance from each other. I don't think people would really notice.
If one has a lipstick in red and pink nails and a brownish rogue the colors will clash, they need to be in the same color group.

I don’t understand green, navy blue, grey, or even black nail polish, but on some people it looks good
