Monochrome outfit. How to create a total look?
Monochrome look is an outfit that combines things of one colour scale. It can also be called total look. A trend that does not lose its relevance for several years in a row. And it is not strange. It is universal and can be picked up and for workday in the office, and for a date or for a party.
The colour of your monochrome outfit can be selected according to your hair shade. For blondes, the best are dark shades, for black and brown hair – blue and green, and brunettes should pay attention to both pastel shades and bright rich colours.
The most popular and most versatile total look colours are white, black, grey and khaki.
White
White is a colour that is always relevant, especially in the summer. It adds freshness on hot days. Looks very elegant. But do not make the look snowy white, add nude shades. For example, ivory or milk tones.
Black
Some are mistaken about monochrome outfits in black. Consider it gloomy and mournful. But this is only if you use rough materials. Combine soft texture like silk, emphasize your own silhouette and the look will be successful.
Khaki
Khaki has recently become one of the most trendy hues. It appears more often during fashion shows. Stella McCartney and Ralph Lauren‘s safari-inspired outfits encourage to create the monochrome look in your own wardrobe.
Grey
Grey monochrome outfits are often called groutfit. This look is the most popular in autumn and winter. The combination of a wool coat, a bulky sweater and pants in different shades of grey will in any case not make you a “grey mouse.” And will create a warm and cosy look. There are no limitations in the combination of shades of grey. Such total looks are concise and restrained. Grey colour is very comfortable and combined with any tones. Choose the bright accessories to brighten up the outfit and add vivid accents.
In addition to combining the correct shades of colour for the total look, there are several easy rules:
- Add a rich coloured item. It will attract the attention of others. Choose darker shades of your primary colour. For example, in the grey total look, choose darker pants or jeans. But this rule does not apply to black and white.
- To make the monochrome outfit more interesting and elegant, try designing texture with fabrics. Choose the fabrics that will emphasize your shape and look as good as possible in your look.
