This year's monochromatic color trend is still one of our favorites! Dressing in tonal shades of the same color creates instant elegance and sophistication and it is one of the hottest, long lasting runway trends we've seen lately!
We have always loved suits because they give the wearer so many options! You can pair a jacket or skirt from a skirt suit with other pieces in your closet to create entirely new looks! When wearing monochromatic hues, always consider picking the most flattering shade for your skin tone regardless of trend. If the year's #1 color is a shade that makes you look washed out or sickly, you will never feel good wearing it! Luckily, the current trends include shades of just about every color of the rainbow, so you are likely to find one that is just right for you!

If you really love the idea of dressing in monochrome shades but you love prints, never fear! Print pattern matching was also a huge runway trend for 2021 and Fall/Winter 2021/22. You can mix the exact same print or choose prints in the same color shades.

We love it when people ignore trends and buy what they love, but we also know that most of us fall in love with contemporary trends now and then! When you want a modern look, you can always find a vintage piece that fits into that category and it will most likely be better made and definitely more unique!
Wearing vintage doesn't mean looking like you are wearing your grandmother's clothing, (although there's nothing wrong with that if you have the right grandmother), it's about finding styles that speak to you!
