The monochrome look: how to create it
Marta Ābele
The simplest way to look elegant and stylish without effort.
Have you ever noticed how elegant women look when they're dressed "head to toe" in one colour?
The secret is called monochrome style - and it's much simpler than it sounds.
And yes, you can master it too, using clothes you already have in your wardrobe!
What is a monochrome look?
A monochrome look means choosing clothes and accessories in one colour, just in different shades and intensities. For example: a light blue blouse, dark blue jeans and a navy blazer. Simple, but it looks incredibly refined.
This autumn, try an outfit in a single colour family: caramel, chocolate, olive green or burgundy.
It looks refined and considered, and it's actually very simple.
And the best part?
Everything you need for this look is probably already in your wardrobe!
3 ways to create it
Play with textures
Combine knits with satin and smooth leather with wool in one colour family - it adds depth and elegance.
Add an accent
Statement gold earrings, a belt or a scarf can freshen up a flowing, tonal palette without losing refinement and harmony.
Fall in love with neutrals
Autumn's earthy tones - camel, cream, grey - look especially luxurious when you wear them head to toe.
Style tip
When your clothes have no strong colour contrasts, your body visually forms one unbroken line - and you look taller and slimmer.
Bonus tip for our petite beauties: Choose pointed-toe shoes in the same colour family - the effect will be even stronger!
We hope these tips inspire you to try something new and to discover that sometimes less really is more.
