Out of the many trends taken straight off the runway from the Fall 2011 shows, there is one that stands out as being not only one of the most wearable but also ridiculously simple and totally fun. Monochromatic dressing, or wearing a similar color palette from head to toe, makes not only a powerful style impact but can also be one of the most flattering ways to wear color to make you look your best. All it requires is the ability to mix and match what you already have in your closet in a new way. And what could be easier than that?
Taking a cue from these style-setters, monochromatic looks work best when mixing different shades of the same color, like pairing a blood orange blouse with a fire-engine red skirt and maroon booties or choosing a palette of dusty pink, beige and off-white. By combining multiple colors but sticking to a restrained color palette and emphasizing different textures, you can be perfectly on trend. Only the rainbow limits your options.
