^ What I had noticed & been thinking about doing myself is the closely related yet unexpected colors Marc used ... I believe this was in both shows (LV & MJ). I particularly like the melon/cantaloupe shades seen on various runways ... I believe Bottega had some examples of this too.

Me too. It seems to works because the pieces match but most still maintain a loose unstructured feel. Or at least that is where my aversion to matchy-matchy outfits is - too perfect looking.

thanks guys!.

I agree with couture tribe about the mix of textures being the secret trick to keep this fresh and updated instead of just too retro and 90s..
... and the melon shades mentioned by fashionista, as well as the dark green and nude.. they're one of my favorite picks for this. .
it seems a little hard to find a pair of shoes and thighs that are exactly the same colour.. but the challenge is greatly welcome.

love this, mainly when i mix different 'tones' from the same 'shade group' as with a bunch of skin/makeup colours or a range of khaki's or fake whites

for me, the trend comes 'up' even better when adding a short but strong accent of vivid contrasting colour, like electric blue, lemon yellow, poppy red or 'brasil' green

joining in the chorus for mullet's excellent trend spotting here

I have found myself wanting to put all grey outfits together as of late. It definitely has been a strong color for me this year. I think I will continue wearing it into summer from winter and spring. I just need to find some gray shoes, cause all I have is silver, which I guess can work. But besides grey boots, I dont think ive ever seen grey shoes.

Grey shoes are definitely available now I've had them in the past, and just tried on some Jil Sander. Ended up buying metallic silver instead ...

i think the elle woods comparison is apt.

it looks good editorially and on the runway, but in reality, its elle woods

.. like any other trend, you know it's gone wrong once it hits the likes of 'elle woods'.. nothing to be scared of when done in the right timing.. by people who caught it and not were caught by the nearby 'boutique' showing the look?.
