Monochromatic Outfits: What You Need to Know (& Probably Don’t)

It might seem like a paradox since it’s only one color, but monochromatic outfits make a bold statement. People are flocking to this trend for good reason. It’s chic, minimalistic, and you can easily put your own spin on it. Here are a few things to know about monochromatic outfits - trust me, you’ll want to try them if you haven’t already!

Monochromatic outfits don’t have to be the exact same shade

Don’t get caught up in trying to match the exact shading of your outfit. Monochromatic doesn’t mean the exact shade, just the same color family. So you can wear different shades of green, and it’s still monochromatic. Fun, right? And way less pressure.

Monochromatic outfits are really easy to put together

Now that you know that monochromatic outfits are in the same color family, it’ll be super easy to put together outfits! An easy color family to try first is blue. Grab some blue jeans, and a blue top, and any blue accessories, like a coat, scarf, or handbag. Voila! It’s super simple to try, and it looks chic and effortless.

Not everything in your outfit has to be in the same color family

For example, if you’re wearing all green, you don’t have to find green shoes, or even wear a green bag. The core pieces - top, bottom, outerwear - is what’s essential to the look.

Monochromatic outfits are hot and trending

Currently trending are monochromatic outfits - particularly green and red (and especially suiting). So if you try this trend, you’re guaranteed to nail it.

Patterns and embellishments are welcome

If you have a striped sweater, or a top with embroidery, you can definitely include those! It will just make a more dramatic statement because those small details will pop.

Monochromatic outfits make a statement

It may seem like an oxymoron since monochromatic outfits are just one color, but think about it - most outfits are broken up into different colors. Outfits of the same color are eye-catching since they’re unique. Get ready to feel confident and have all eyes on you!

I hope these tips help you style your own monochromatic outfits!
