TAN CLUB
LAYERED NEUTRAL TONES OFFER THE KIND OF UNDERSTATED COOL WE CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF
Cream, caramel, hazelnut… Have a taste of this season’s most delicious colour trend.
if we could sum up our current sartorial predicament, it would be this: we still want to look polished but we don’t want to put in much effort. Do we want to spend an hour assembling an outfit that will only be seen from the waist up? No. Do we want our clothes to offer a glimmer of our “old selves” when we get dressed each morning? You’re damn right we do.
Tonal dressing has always been the easiest way to achieve immediate put-togetherness – and this season the trending tone is tan. Layered separates in delicious shades of caramel, cinnamon and hazelnut have captured the attention of brands such as Jil Sander, Isabel Marant and Christian Dior, whose pre-fall collections are a feast of tan-on-tan goodness. Get a taste of the trend with keep-forever classics like tan trench coats and suiting, topped off with gold jewellery. Don’t want to play it safe? Bottega Veneta’s oversized croissant-esque totes are a guaranteed mood-booster, or go back to the future with ’70s suede go-go boots. Neutrals have never looked so fun.
