tipS and triCkS for roCking
a monoChromatiC outfit
When worn with style, a monochromatic outfit, i.e. an outfit comprised of only one colour can be
both unexpected and fashion-forward. It might seem tough to pull off, but it’s easier than it looks! If
nothing else, rocking a single shade will make you look at your wardrobe with fresh eyes and help you
see new clothing combinations that you never would have thought of otherwise. So pick your favourite
colour and let’s get going!
Look for contrast within the same hue. Mix navy and sky blue, army and lime green, or goldenrod and light yellow to get the monochromatic
look without resembling a crayon! Rocking an outfit made entirely of black, white, or another neutral is hardly a challenge! push your style
boundaries and try something daring. Mix satin with sequins or cotton with suede to add interest. If the colours of your top and bottom are
just a little bit off from each other, it will look like your outfit is accidentally clashing rather than intentionally monochromatic.
