Effortless Monochrome

Woman in monochrome beige outfit

If you are looking for a really great easy look

try monochrome

and make it effortless

You can create a sleek elongated silhouette

when you restrict yourself to just one colour palette

For maximum effect

go for trousers or a longer length skirt

then you get a great streak of mono colour

Use different textures and fabrics

within the same colour family

for added depth

You don’t want to look boring

you want to look sleek and sophisticated

which is why the fabric choices are important

Juxtapose leather trousers with a silk shirt

A biais cut satin skirt with a linen blouse

Or change up the proportions

and wear an outsized jumper with slimline cigarette pants

You can vary the shade of colour

A soft blush top with a deep rose skirt

And vary the textures

A matte belt paired with glossy shoes

Don’t be frumpy

It might be a simple look

but it’s not a dull one

Wear strappy sandals

stilleto heels

Part your hair in the middle and dry it smooth

Vary your monochrome look and

change the monochrome shade with the season

Every colour has its moment in the seasonal spotlight

Wear jewel colours in the winter

leaf and earth colours in the autumn

fresh or pastel colours in spring

and bright vibrant or alternatively white colours in summer

Embrace the ease and power of a monochrome outfit
