When we talk about mixing, we usually are discussing pattern, but there is a new style-cocktail in town that all fashion mixologists are embracing\u2026the color-layer. As simple as it sounds, it takes an astute eye to master it, so we wanted to share some of our favorite tips on how to make a color statement that will last into style eternity.<\/p>\n

Choose one bold color as the base, like red. This fiery hue has almost become an essential in a women\u2019s wardrobe\u2026the non-neutral, neutral we always talk about. But Fall 2019 brings us a different take on the power color\u2026with warmer undertones, these new reds are meant to be layered with like hues such as cumin, carnelian and burgundy.<\/p>\n

Pick your hero piece. While we usually suggest starting with your base layers, in this case we like to choose our statement-maker, like this orange-red McQ<\/em> coat. A classic silhouette meets high-fashion in this wool, \u00be length style and its slightly oversized shape makes it perfect for this style how-to.<\/p>\n

Now select your base pieces. We love Oscar de la Renta\u2019s<\/em> stretch, wool gabardine, wide-leg pants in the spiciest of hues\u2026just right for every day, they are desk-to-dinner approved. Next, we recommend pairing these with a See By Chlo\u00e9 Ruffled Blouse<\/em>\u2026.the Autumn\/Winter collection has a Victorian slant, with neck and cuff details that demand to be seen and that feminine sensibility we all covet. Finally, the finishing touch\u2026a chic, cashmere cardigan from Joseph<\/em> in a bold persimmon hue. The key here is you never want to match the colors\u2026they all need to be slightly different, but in the same family. Since we are focusing on warm-tones, don\u2019t choose reds that have a pink undertone.<\/p>\n

Now how do you accessorize this fashion masterpiece? Well of course\u2026more color layering. We are obsessed with Chlo\u00e9\u2019s<\/em> knee-high boots in a rich burgundy hue\u2026to be worn with everything this season, especially this look. The peekaboo effect of seeing just a touch of this complimentary tone is street style-worthy\u2026sophisticated with a major color twist. The handbag is perhaps the easiest choice\u2026go with a pattern to add that fashion exclamation point. Our stylist\u2019s suggest The Chlo\u00e9Colorblocked Tess Bag<\/em>in a warm neutral palette\u2026while the colors aren\u2019t in the red family, they are 100% complimentary and beyond sophisticated. Jewelry doesn\u2019t need to be sacrificed in this experiment with color. Just keep it simple with gold accent pieces like these earrings from Aurelie Bidermann<\/em>\u2026ear candy!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For all of you \u2018keep-it-simple\u2019 women out there, you can still play with this trend\u2026just leave out the layers, but go bold with the color choice. We all have to have this Saloni<\/em> dress in bitter orange. In a shimmering satin with a stamped pattern, this on fire color demands to be the star of your #OOTD. A romantic silhouette that requires only the most feminine of accessories, like this gorgeous barrette from Suma Cruz<\/em>\u2026nighttime drama included.<\/p>\n
