Striking Gold: Viral Moments

The Gold Hinge brand began as a female-founded online clothing company in 2019 by twentysomething entrepreneur Katherine Watercutter. That same year was dominated by leggings and bike shorts in the athleisure world. Gold Hinge changed all that — as did Bama RushTok. 

Pleated tennis skirts are nothing new, but the popularity of Gold Hinge skirts suddenly made them in style for regular occasions. In most of the “Get Ready With Me’s” in dorm rooms and apartments, rush hopefuls coordinated their philanthropy tees and house colors with the easy-to-wear, sporty styles Gold Hinge skirts provided — maroon skirt to match the Crimson Tide vibe of Alabama, a pink Gold Hinge tennis skirt to rep breast cancer awareness or a green skirt to match house colors. Viewers and TikTok creators went wild over the stretchy athleisure skirts, with inseams ranging from 12 to 15 inches, they could wear to work out or dress up for a date.
