The one thing I love most about fall is colors that match nature – especially when worn in monochrome. Everything works well when you stay with the same palette, and right now I am craving caramel. After the light and dreamy summer fabrics in pastels and muted shades, the colors of fall always seem so rich and bold. This year is certainly no exception. In fashion terms, monochromatic dressing means wearing separates of one color that have different textures and/or similar shades of that color for an overall tonal look. While mixing patterns can look a bit fussy and color-blocking a bit kitschy, wearing a single shade is a simpler, cleaner approach to putting an outfit together. In fact, when you keep your overall outfit within the same color hue, the outcome can be just as striking as wearing a bold pattern or vivid color. Whether it’s top-to-bottom jewel tones, winter whites, or a neutral ensemble, monochromic dressing offers visual relief from the more frenzied trends of past seasons.
