And we're taking our obsession one step further right here, by giving you a Color of the Day on InStyle.com, complete with How to Wear It tips. TODAY'S COLOR: SAGE SIMILAR TO:Fern, olive. WHY WE LOVE IT:It's your new go-to neutral. A more refined version of olive, this understated shade is content to sit back and let other hues take the spotlight. GOES GREAT WITH:It's especially good at setting the stage for brights—red, berry, hot pink!—or even other, more vivid greens, such as this one spotted at Stella McCartney's show (shown). DIP YOUR TOE IN:Switch in a swipe of sage eye shadow in place of your neutral brown for a subtle pop. (Try Make Up For Ever's eyeshadow in #47; $20 at sephora.com.) GO HEAD-TO-TOE SAGE:Scoop up a sage blouse to pair with your bright skirts and pants, just in time for spring. (Try Vince's half-button silk top, $258 at piperlime.com).
