Monthly outfit guide
December outfits
How the light falls in December, which fabrics are worn, how many layers it takes — and how each of the twelve colour seasons reads the month.
December light
December is lit mostly from indoors. Deep tones, reflective surfaces.
Fabric and layers
In December, the fabrics are wool, cashmere, velvet, satin, and heavy knit.
4 layers: a month worn stacked, with the weight shared between the pieces.

Read this month in your own colours
The colour analysis happens once: your skin tone, hair and eyes are read, and your season and your palette come out of it. After that it is every month — December included, an issue written for that month's light and fabrics.
