Conquering Fashion with Monochromatic Style

 

 

So, what is monochromatic fashion?

The word “monochromatic” actually consists of two words “mono” which means single and “chromatic” which means color. Therefore from the word itself, the monochromatic fashion means wearing outfits of one color but that doesn't mean you'll wear one shade from head to toe. The catch is monochromatic fashion is actually playing with various shades and tints of the same color. 

Sounds simple right? But wait, we want you to come up with a perfect monochromatic outfit for your next Instagram post. So, here are 5 style tips when putting together a monochromatic outfit.

 

 

Play with textures

Any plain monochromatic outfit can be a bit boring. So, to add extra style and detail, add some interesting texture to your outfit. You can play with glittery or shiny textures, knitted pieces, and or different types of fabrics.

Keep the balance

To stay in style and on point with any of your outfits, the balance should always be given attention. By balance we mean, if you are wearing a textured top, a plain bottom is a fine pair. Another example, if you’re wearing a billowing top, make sure to wear fitted bottoms. 

The key is you don't want to overwhelm one color or a style too much. It has to be right and balanced.

Learn to highlight and de-emphasize

Just like with other fashion styles, you can also highlight and de-emphasize any part of your body. You can accentuate any areas of your body by just using the right color.

Remember if you want to highlight use light colors while dark shades if you wish to de-emphasize any part of your body.

Love the pattern

Just like playing with textures, patterns also add dimension and extra style, to your monochromatic outfits. Instead of just wearing plain monochromatic pieces, adding pattern to the equation will surely change your monochromatic fashion game.

Choose the best colors

In monochromatic fashion, it is very important that you wear colors that look great on your skin. Since you will only play with a single color just in a different shade, choosing the right color is everything. If you are not sure with what color suits you well, you may start with neutral colors.
