The Anti-Trend Color to Wear From Head to Toe This Winter (Hint: It's Not White or Black)

Monochromatic outfits have a way of always looking instantly chic. Wearing a single color from head to toe creates a clean, elongated silhouette that feels intentional and requires minimal effort. That's why it's a great styling trick for winter when you don't want to spend a lot of time deciding what to wear. While all-black and all-white outfits usually dominate, all-ivory looks are becoming the season's go-to, and Elle Fanning just gave us a glimpse of how to style them.

This week, while arriving at Good Morning America in NYC, Fanning was spotted wearing a long menswear-inspired ivory wool coat, matching balloon-style trousers, and rounded-toe heels. She offset her ivory look with a white button-up top and a chocolate brown Bottega Veneta bag. Her ivory outfit showcased just how elegant and modern it could appear.

While monochromatic outfits in other colors are totally fine, something about ivory feels unexpectedly fresh and right for the end of 2025 and the start of 2026. Compared to an all-white look, ivory is a much softer and creamier hue. Additionally, it has a warmth that makes it more gentle on the skin and easier to wear from head to toe without looking washed out. And while black is timeless, ivory offers the same polished effect but with a lighter, more modern vibe. Inspired to experiment with an all-ivory outfit this winter?
