From the Archives: Tonal Dressing

It’s fall! And we couldn’t be happier. Because fall weather means that instead of being forced to shed more layers of clothing than you felt was appropriate, we can pile them on until all that is left is your now-slightly-less-tan face peaking out from a turtleneck. And most importantly it means it’s time for our newest EDIT! A series we started two years ago with hopes to bring an editorial eye to our seasonal sartorial ambitions.
For Part 1 of our EDIT No.5, we’re touching on tonal dressing. Perhaps seen as an easy way out of wearing real color, neutral tones are rich with possibility. With one of our favorite new faces in front of the lens, we’re excited to introduce you to Paloma – wearing the tonal trend you can wear day into night!
Cozy creams with whites and golds, subtle pink lace mixed with a rose hued coat, and khaki by way of layered trench coats in varying tones. The amazing thing about fall is the ability to mix all these different textures – knits, and wools, and leathers working harmoniously to encompass the tone-on-tone trend. There is of course an art to it – you can’t just put on all the brown things in your closet and walk out the front door. As with most things in life – it’s all about balance, and finding it in your wardrobe to make discerning choices when layering.
The best thing about this trend is that it’s probably already happening inside your closet! Something we all can be happy about :)
Absolutely stunning.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for featuring models of all shapes, sizes, and skin tones.
Magnifique cette veste en dentelle ????????

I can’t wait to start layering neutrals for fall! Beautiful post and gorgeous model!
This is one of the most stunning and compelling spreads you have ever done. LOVE the model.
Love the simplicity in colour but juxtaposed with the complexity of the detailing i.e the bomber jacket and yay to diversity!

So excited to see Paloma on this site! She is such a beauty with incredible style who is outspoken about being comfortable in your own skin, not to mention a positively real, multifaceted individual. Love seeing her in such effortless, chic looks!
Stunning woman, beautiful clothes & style! Loved this Edit.
Une femme de couleur, pas maigre comme un clou (je me permet étant moi même low key maigrelette), rayonnante et super sapée (ces beiges…), ça change et ça fait un bien fou !
Merci Studio Doré

Oh, she’s beautiful! It’s so nice to see a woman in gorgeous clothes that is my size, and I’d imagine many many of your readers.
Absolutely stunning. What a beautiful series, and Paloma is so striking. Tonal dressing, especially whites and creams, feels so luxurious in autumn! Thanks team Garance! :)

Je suis sans voix, speechless comme on dit et c’est encore plus fort, devant cette beauté à la fois extraordinaire, si on la replace dans le contexte formaté de la mode, et ordinaire de par justement cette ressemblance avec nous tous. J’en viens à nous trouver de plus en plus beaux d’ailleurs, nous les gens ordinaires ! Et cela conforte ce que je vérifie chaque jour, la beauté est partout, dans chaque détail, dans chaque personne, dans chaque lieu. Je vous remercie tous du fond du cœur, l’aventure Doré ne nous lassera jamais je crois, tant d’audace et de talent réunis. Bravo à toute l’équipe, autant de trésors que tu as su dénicher Garance, pour enrichir ton regard visionnaire tellement généreux…
J’apprécie toujours vos Edit magnifiques, différents et inspirants, mais celui alors…. WAHOU !! Paloma est sublime, et le reste, le stylisme, le make up et la grande douceur des photos est très réussi. Bravo à l’équipe !
Quel magnifique edit :-) les vêtements, tout, et bien sur ce modèle superbe, et surtout aussi ce qu’elle dégage de calme de confiant, de doux et non pas dans l’apparence, la séduction “sexy” et le défi “compétition”. J’adore vraiment. Encore!!
major girl crush!
Quelle beauté!!!!! Le blanc lui va superbement :-)
What a beautiful, expressive, mysterious woman. She should be in a painting!! And yes, the clothes are lovely, but she carries them. Yaaay!!
Superb on every level. Great to see such beautiful looks on a model who is not the typical waify- clothes horse. More please!
One of my favorite posts ever (and I have been reading for years)! She is stunning and she definitely makes the outfits her own. More posts like this, please! I checked her IG and I bet she would make a fun guest on the podcast ;)
Superbe!! Tout, les photos, les couleurs, on imagine les textures. Un écrin pour Paloma: solaire pour l’automne. Merci
Superbe! Merci
the model’s skin tone looks so glowing with all of the clothing colors. very beautiful
Gorgeous model!!! Great Style!!!!
Ca fait plaisir de voir Paloma sur ces photos. De l’harmonie tout en rondeur. J’adore !!!
Et j’avoue que ça me décomplexe de ma forte poitrine en comparaison aux mannequins filiformes.
