Are you wondering how you can style a monochromatic chic outfit? Maybe even make it elegant and stunning. GUESS WHAT?? I can show you how to make your monochromatic outfit look very chic, elegant AND stunning. (I ABSOLUTELY love doing monochromatic looks)
What is a Monochromatic Outfit?
You might be wondering, “What is a monochromatic outfit? Monochromatic is where we can wear all of the same colour. However, it doesn’t necessarily have to be head-to-toe with one tone of colour, there can different shades of that colour. In fact wearing a monochromatic outfit can make you look bold, standout and be a statement but that depends on how you choose to style it.
Benefits of doing a monochromatic look:
- minimal effort
- very simple and minimalistic
- helps you stand out
- makes you look very elegant and sophisticated
- you can appear taller
If the list of benefits caught your attention, especially the “you can appear taller” well this is definitely for you!
LET’S BEGIN!
1. Choose a colour
Every person has a colour that suits them. Begin by choosing a colour. Your outfit doesn’t need to be all the same shade and tone. In fact incorporating one shade different of the same colour can really make a monochromatic outfit POP.
For this elegant outfit, I am going to show you a pink colour outfit. However you can choose ANY colour you want.
(The colour pink reminds me of a calm summer day with flowers.)
2. Experimenting with Texture: Monochromatic Tip
One of the biggest tips I’ve been sharing is to EXPERIMENT with texture. For this elegant look, I decided to experiment with a textured top. There’s also an option for no texture as well, however do try and experiment with texture. As texture can help give a good dimension.
(trying to make clothes look photogenic is quite impossible, oh well we got the gist of it)
(I was trying to show the pink cardigan LOL also got the nails done for this look. It’s either go all in or don’t. I always like to have a cardigan, sweater or coat just to have an extra layer.)
3. Experiment with shades
I mentioned above that incorporating different shades of the same colour family can make a monochromatic look pop. Also why try so hard to get the EXACT match of a shade when you can just have fun with a monochromatic style. Different shades can even make a monochromatic outfit look very elegant and calming to the eye.
3. Put all of it together
Find all the same colour pieces from your closet and put them together. Balance is the key. You could do wide legged pants with a fitted top or vice versa LOL mix it up and have fun with it. Here is the final look for the example I chose.
There you have it, a chic elegant stunning monochromatic outfit! The cool thing is that any same colour different tone outfit will end up looking elegant because the monotone colour will be easy on the eyes.
