Monthly outfit guide
October outfits
How the light falls in October, which fabrics are worn, how many layers it takes — and how each of the twelve colour seasons reads the month.
October light
In October the golden hour stretches across the whole afternoon. Long, soft shadows.
Fabric and layers
In October, the fabrics are suede, velvet, mid-weight knit, corduroy, and wool.
Three layers: the weather changes through the day, so the layers do too.
October pieces
Chosen from the month's own fabrics and colours — separately for each of the three wardrobes.

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 — October included, an issue written for that month's light and fabrics.
