Wearing one
colour is anything but boring; but it’s time to clean up our fashion acts,
ladies. You can pull the monochromatic look in ways you never thought. In
fashion terms, monochromatic dressing means wearing separates of one colour
that have different textures and/or similar shades of that colour for an
overall tonal look. While mixing patterns can look a bit fussy and colour-blocking
a bit too catchy and be termed as an attention seeker, wearing a single shade
is a simpler, cleaner approach to putting an outfit together. In fact, when you
keep your overall outfit within the same colour hue, the outcome can be just as
striking as wearing a bold pattern or vivid colour.
You might
not need to buy anything at all to achieve this chic, polished style!
Intrigued? Read on how to pull off this undeniably posh look.
Firstly,
remember that it doesn't all have to be the same shade. If you opt for cream,
each piece can be a varying shade.
Secondly,
pay attention to the shapes and cuts of your pieces. The trick to wearing and
pulling off one colour is making sure that your silhouette is flattering.
Lastly, wear
it with confidence! Although monochrome may seem intimidating, once you wear it
you instantly look chic! Don't be afraid to try the look, it's a tried and
tested favourite - just find the right colour for you; even if it's black, and go
for it!
If the ease
of adopting this surprisingly easy yet sophisticated style hasn’t already
convinced you to give it a whirl, then consider this: when dressing monochromatically,
your outfit has one uninterrupted line from head to toe that elongates your
silhouette, making you appear slimmer and taller than you actually are.
Whether it’s
top-to-bottom jewel tones, winter whites, or a neutral ensemble, monochromic
dressing definitely offers visual relief from the more frenzied trends of past
seasons. No matter your shape or style, monochromatic always looks sharp; so
don’t be afraid to experiment!
