Holiday monochromy

Stagiaire Fash

I’ve been enjoying the ways similar colors are being paired together in recent years, whether it’s pink-orange-red, multiple blues, pink & burgundy or other similar combos. I hope you recognize what I mean.

Classic holiday looks seem to me to be all about complementary colors or stark difference: red and green, deep blue with silver, red with white trim.

Thinking about end-of-year looks, I’d like to come up with outfits in festive color combos from one side of the color wheel, but I’m coming up completely dry.

What monochrom-ish holiday looks have you seen recently, please & thank you.

Shades of red- burgundy and blush, red and pink, etc. I’ve also seen black with gold lame where the gold was sheer with a black lining, which was nice.

I looked for some possible monochrome holiday inspiration pics. Not on my game, Stag. Down with Covid drinking green tea.

It’s hard to believe we’re nearing the holidays as I’m sitting outside wondering why I thought I needed even a light sweatshirt. Anyway here’s a couple

My last holiday party outfit (2019, a lifetime ago!) was in a berry palette, if you can believe it. Striped dress and glitter mary-janes below, plus semi-opaque tights in eggplant.

If I were going to go all-out on a holiday outfit, I think it would be a velvet tux in forest green or midnight blue. Love this AllSaints version with the dark lace underneath the velvet jacket (though I'd want the top underneath to be cut a bit higher--brrr!).

Dark green like in kkards example was my first thought. Maybe for you, something leaning blue-green if green green isn’t your thing.

I think of “holiday” more in terms of fabrics, textures and embellishments - and some of the examples above show it. Satin, velvet, sequins, metallics.

Here’s the hilarious Katie Sturino for Lane Bryant holiday: I like the all-red idea!

Like the fourth of July, i like non traditional shades of traditional colors. I do a lime or apple green with a red-orange for the holidays although traditional colors are fine with me on others. The holidays have become more casual. So I am more apt to wear a dressy red or green sweater with jeans or an all white look with white pants.
