The game changer: earthy tones

With the rapid pace of modern life and our constantly buzzing phones making us feel more ‘on’ than ever, it’s no surprise that when it comes to inspiration, designers are turning their backs on the digital world and returning to nature – literally, in the case of the earthy shades that dominated the runway this season. Ready to indulge in a little color therapy? Consider Roksanda’s floor-sweeping maxi dress cast in harvest gold, khaki and dusky rose stripes a masterclass in tonal dressing. If your evening attire seldom ventures beyond black, look for pared-back pieces that are vibrant but also beautifully constructed, such as Monse’s ultra-covetable apricot-colored dress. The hue is undoubtedly bold, but thanks to the elegant – and universally flattering – draping, this standout piece is remarkably easy to wear. If you’re looking for something that lends itself to both day and night, an amber dress by cool-girl label Chloé will leave you glowing. Channel bohemian chic by pairing it with delicate silver bangles by day, then add an embellished wristlet for a directional after-dark look that promises to recharge your spiritual and sartorial batteries.
