For the accessories wear a scarf tied around either the neck or wrist or on the vintage style bag and for the shoes knee high boots in natural colours.

The colour scheme for this trend is nude natural tones, such as browns, camels, creams, whites, greys and black with a touch of jewel tones such as burgundy, greens and oranges to offset the otherwise monochrome looks.
