Get the Look: Neutral Colours - Chloé Fall 2010 RTW Collection

Style - Get the Look

Hannah MacGibbon was evidently inspired by the easy glamour of the 1970s when she designed the Chloé Fall 2010 Ready-to-Wear collection. Filled with several shades of beige, — brown's more sophisticated and stylish lighter colour, — the Chloé Fall 2010 collection is a definitely a good inspiration board that we should all follow for our own Fall wardrobes. Part seasonal style selections, part classic clothing for the ages; I hope you find as much inspiration in today's post as I did sorting through images from Chloé's Fall 2010 RTW collection.

1. The scoop-neck tank: An everyday essential, I love a silk-crepe tank for many reasons. While it's definitely mandatory office wear — would any suit be complete without a proper camisole to complement? I think not! — a silk-crepe tank also acts as a luxury basic that boosts the look of your more casual closet offerings. Worn with jeans and a smart blazer or cardi, a silk tank offers a pretty and polished look. And who doesn't look good in a round scoop neck style? My sentiments exactly. Chloé silk-crepe tank, $585, Net-A-Porter.


2. Wide-leg pants: Isn't it funny how everything old is new again? To everything there is a season, and it appears the season for wide-leg pants in neutral hues is once again upon us. Like power shoulder pads and platform clogs (but more classic), beige wide-leg pants done in a variety of wool fabrics — think tweed, super 120s, and the like — are back for Fall 2010, and bigger than ever. For Fall 2010, the pants are 70s-style high-waisted, prettied up with little details like bows and double belt loops. The decidedly pale palette for pants is anything but boring; in fact, wide-leg pants are a sure-fire way to add some instant drama to your closet's clothing collection. Chloé high-waist tweed pants, $1115, Neiman Marcus.


3. Over-sized camel coat: Another amazing way to play with neutral colours for Fall 2010 is with a statement camel coloured coat. Featuring a near-seamless design, the camel hooded coat from Chloé's Fall 2010 collection is iconic. The style is elegant and understated; the cut is what makes the design pop. The front of the coat is open, making this style perfect for belting closed (the leather belt is included with purchase). For full-on 70s glamour, keep your colour palette consistent and wear this coat over other neutrals. Not willing to spend up to 5 grand on this number? You won't find the distinct look of this Chloé coat anywhere else, but you can shop J.Crew for a wool-cashmere coat in a similar colour. Chloé camel hooded coat, $4495, Saks.
