Lori Harvey, Molly Sims & Hailey Clauson: Monochrome Winter

Lori Harvey, Molly Sims, and Hailey Clauson Are All Making the Case for a Monochromatic Winter Wardrobe

While winter fashion often leans toward a chaotic mix of heavy layers and contrasting textures, three of the industry's most influential style icons—Lori Harvey, Molly Sims, and Hailey Clauson—are advocating for a much sleeker approach.This season, the "It Girl" uniform has officially shifted toward the monochromatic, with head-to-toe single-color ensembles dominating both city streets and social media feeds.

The beauty of the monochromatic trend lies in its ability to look intentionally "quiet luxury" while requiring minimal effort to coordinate.By sticking to a single hue, these trendsetters are creating elongated silhouettes that feel both modern and timeless.

The All-Black Aesthetic: Harvey and Clauson’s "Onyx" Mood

Leading the charge are Lori Harvey and Hailey Clauson, who have both championed the power of the all-black outfit. Harvey, celebrating her 39th birthday this year, recently showcased a "reflective" monochromatic look featuring a collared long-sleeve waist-tie top paired with skinny black bottoms. It’s a masterclass in how to use different finishes—matte vs. reflective—to keep an all-black outfit from looking flat.

Hailey Clauson, the creative director of Margaux the Agency, has also been spotted in a similar "onyx" palette. Her approach often leans toward a more minimalist, "summer-to-winter" transition, utilizing cropped tanks and low-rise midi skirts in solid black, proving that the shade works just as well for indoor winter events as it does for the runway.

Molly Sims and the Power of Texture

Molly Sims has taken a slightly more "editorial" approach to the trend, proving that monochromatic doesn't have to mean boring. In a recent appearance that went viral among fashion insiders, Sims showcased an all-black ensemble that leaned heavily into leather.

By layering a solid-colored top under an oversized leather jacket and a high-waisted leather midi skirt, Sims demonstrated the "texture stacking" rule: if you’re wearing one color, you must mix your fabrics. The contrast between the softness of her knitwear and the sheen of her leather boots and skirt added a three-dimensional depth to the look.

Why Monochrome is the Trend of 2026

Fashion analysts suggest that the rise of monochromatic dressing in 2026 is a response to a desire for "sartorial clarity." With Pantone naming "Cloud Dancer" (a pillowy off-white) as the 2026 Color of the Year, the industry is moving away from clashing prints and toward "palette-cleansing" looks.

Key tips to pull off the Clauson-approved look:

• Mix Your Fabrics: Pair silk with wool or leather with cashmere to create visual interest.

• Play with Proportions: Follow the "one relaxed + one fitted" rule—pair an oversized coat with tapered trousers.

• Accessorize Tally: Use metallic accents (gold or silver) to break up the color block without disrupting the theme.

From Street Style to the Red Carpet

The trend isn't limited to street style; it was the breakout star of the 2026 Sundance Film Festival. Jenna Ortega stunned in monochromatic beige, while Olivia Colman proved an all-black suit can be sculptural and daring.

As we navigate the tail end of the 2026 winter season, it's clear that Lori Harvey, Molly Sims, and Hailey Clauson aren't just following a trend—they're setting the standard for a more refined, cohesive way of dressing.
