ON OUR RADAR: MONOCHROME
Today's fixation is not a new concept, rather, it's a look that's strengthened its stronghold the past few seasons as the go-to strategy for the streamlined minimalist: monochrome separates. Fall runways like Michael Kors, Bluemarine, Thakoon, Jenni Kayne and Brioni amongst many others, favored separates in uniform color.
The choice to build looks in a singular hue draws attention to other sartorial focal points: structure, tailoring and texture. Consider this an opportunity to slip into well-fitted trousers, and experiment with mixed materials like cotton with silk and wool with fur. Monochrome does work especially well with solids, but that's not the only route: Olivia Palermo proves separates in the same pattern in a eye-catching swatch will have the same simply chic effect. Pick your color, and start pairing from head, shoulder, knees to toes!
