For spring there was plenty color popping on the runways. Jason Wu and Phillip Lim presented two-pieces in hues of pink and red, respectively. Meanwhile Tory Burch went for a more safari-fied feel in khaki tones. And there were a rash of all-white ensembles at Bottega Veneta, Calvin Klein Collection, and Gucci.
Want to wear a solo shade? Make sure you choose a color that you're comfortable with head to toe. (Read: if you don't normally wear red, perhaps this isn't the best time to test out.) Some of the designers even included matching shoes, but that's taking the trend a bit too far for an everyday outing.
What do you think? Do you ever wear all one color? Would you consider it now? Let us know by leaving a comment and then check out other spring trends.

It's about time the "matchy, matchy" comes back. I've hated all of the crazy colors/patterns together in the ugly layered look and then shoes that are a completely different color yet. I'm short and I like dressing all in one color - makes me look a bit taller/thinner. And, it just looks neat and put together. I've always liked wearing outfits that are made to go together, so I hope this trend continues.
