The times when it was considered boring to dress in the same color from head to toe are far behind. This winter, one of the most popular trends is monochromatic outfits ( it is also considered monochromatic if you choose to wear the same color in various shades). This trend is adaptable to any occasion, is exquisite and minimalist at the same time and it speaks for itself, showing confidence and good taste. If mix-matching patterns and color-blocking (to mix various bright colors) are too bold for you, then monochromatic looks are surely a good choice to keep yourself trendy with no risk.
To get this look you can mix new garments with older and more classic pieces, because what really matters is to have a full outfit in hues of the same color. Using textures is also a well known trick to make the most out of this trend, for example: if you’re wearing a silk blouse, choose to layer it with a wool woven coat or a knitted chunky cardigan. This will complement the shine of the silk in a more subtle way. If after trying some looks you still think it is too simple you can always use a metallic accessory to make it more interesting and to value the color you’ve chosen.
In addition to the fun, a monochromatic look can even highlight the parts of your body that you like and conceal the ones you prefer the least. For example, if you have long legs, you can choose trousers in a lighter tone and a top and jacket with darker tones. If you’d rather draw attention to the upper part of your body, choose a lighter variation of the color you’re dressing for top pieces and darker hues for bottom ones. If you’re still not convinced about this sophisticated trend, let us remind you that when you dress monochromatically, you are creating a continuous line from top to bottom, that elongates your silhouette and makes you look taller!
Either you go for a brighter color, an all-white look or a more neutral palette (grays, nudes or blacks), a monochromatic look will never go unnoticed. Regardless of your style and your body shape, this trend will always be an excellent choice to achieve a sharp and elegant look.
