Style Tips 5 years ago The Keys To Monochromatic Dressing
I’m all here for this trend.
Monochromatic dressing is a current favorite of mine. I love it because it can be successfully done in so many ways.
While you can of course purchase a set and have the colors identically coordinated, you can also sport two shades of the same color, one slightly {or more intensely} darker or lighter than the other.
There is something so sophisticated about a monochrome look, and the best part is it’s so easy to execute. It’s as simple as throwing on a silk dress with a similarly colored sweater on top, and you’re good to go.
Here are my three main tips to expand the horizons of monochromatic dressing.
Don’t Be Afraid of Color
When I think of a monochromatic look, I naturally gravitate towards neutrals. Let’s be real, this is what I normally lean towards in any outfit {whites, creams, grays etc.}, but on occasion I love experimenting with pops of color. This is no different for monochrome looks. I am so used to seeing whites and creams styled together, but I loved wearing this full-on green outfit.
Don’t Be Afraid of Mixing Different Shades
The great thing about monochromatic dressing, is you do not need to be super matchy-matchy about shades. While there is something very elegant about an all white outfit, I love breaking up the outfit with two different shades, especially when more intense colors are involved. While they are more drastically different here, I also love wearing a top or bottom that is just one shade darker than its counterpart.
Don’t Be Afraid of Adding in Additional Colors
A monochromatic look doesn’t mean only one color can be involved. Don’t worry, not everything from the bag to the shoes needs to coordinate. Adding another layer with a white blouse underneath, for example, leads to a less intense style, and a more cohesive outfit in a sense. Even mixing in contrasting colors, like red, is great. I love this style because you can really have fun with it and execute it in so many different ways.
