Alert: High Alert! Significant Yellow Warning Issued
In the world of fashion, finding the perfect balance of colours can often be a daunting task. However, designer Amy Smilovic, from the esteemed brand Tibi, has a solution that's both practical and stylish - the "One, Ton, None" approach to colour wear.
This method, which Smilovic discusses in her style class, is a guideline for coordinating outfit colours effectively. The name, "One, Ton, None," suggests a focus on one dominant colour, its varying shades, and the elimination of additional colours, respectively.
Smilovic's interpretation of this rule emphasises simplicity and intentionality in colour choices. By adhering to this approach, one can create a clean, cohesive look that aligns with Tibi’s aesthetic of modern elegance and practical creativity.
For instance, in a recent outfit, the author chose to wear a yellow shirt as the dominant colour. This was complemented by Abercrombie High Rise Mom Shorts, an Everlane Organic Cotton Crew Tee, and a Ralph Lauren Oxford Button Down (or similar alternatives from Gap and Target). The look was completed with Roxy Gabbie Flip Flops or similar alternatives from Madewell.
Jewellery choices followed this colour theme as well. The author accessorised with Mejuri Thin Dome Rings, Mejuri Beaded Ring, and Daily Hoops, all of which have similar alternatives under $65 from Madewell. A Handmade Anklet, another type of jewellery, also fit seamlessly into the yellow-toned ensemble.
The Abercrombie Mom Shorts, a staple for the author every spring and summer since their purchase in 2021, were a perfect addition to this outfit. Despite the author's dislike for high rise bottoms, these specific Abercrombie Mom Shorts can be worn without discomfort.
It's worth noting that the Abercrombie Mom Shorts are high in demand and often sell out, but they restock regularly. For those seeking alternatives, the author recommends Anine Bing Canvas Tote as a similar tote bag.
