Dull. Boring. Plain.
Chances are, these three adjectives are what your mind thinks of as you hear or see monochrome fashion. Are we right, or are we right?
Well…
What’s fashion if you don’t break the norms? The saying goes that sugar, spice, and everything nice. Then, why must chromatic styling be anything less than everything excellent?
We are here to break your misperception of monochromatic dressing. Trust us, and it is ANYTHING but plain. Get ready for a journey, our fashion geeks, as we offer you tips on how to perfect the monochromatic art.
By the end of this short journey, you will, for sure, know better, of how colorful and exciting monochromatic ensembles truly are.
Monochromatic Fashion
The word can be divided into two parts- ‘mono’ refers to single, and ‘chromatic’ means color. In short, monochromatic fashion means you lather yourself up in one color, from top to bottom.
So dull and lifeless, boohoo!
No, wait.
While monochromatic dressing does involve wearing an outfit of one single color, it does not, at all, limit you to wearing precisely one color.
Like, if you use your mind creatively, you can pair up your outfits in numerous tones of the same color. For instance, you might be covered up with blue, but while your tops may be of baby blue color, your pants can be of a darker shade- royal blue, for instance.
Need easy tips to master the art of monochromatic outfits with immense fashion and versatility? Here are four such tips:
Accessories to complete your look
If wearing a single color from top to bottom isn’t your cup of tea, and you feel like it makes you look lackluster,
Accessorize your closet away.
Accessories play an equally worthy significant part in men’s fashion as they do in women fashion. They bring life to your attires. The right kind of accessories will help boost your confidence, glamour, and aura, even more, trust us.
Your accessories can comprise of anything ranging from chains, belts, and watches to rings, bags, and sunglasses. How you match them according to the color of the day you’ve chosen is what makes all the difference.
A suggestion, if you will:
If you choose brown as your color-of-the-day,
We suggest pairing it up with a maroon watch cap, some two-tones leather boots, and a super classy coffee-colored tote messenger bag. To finalize the outfit, put on some silver sterling rings, some black and brown leather bracelets, and a vintage watch. You are the man of the hour, no doubt in that.
Style it up to spice it up
Fashion is all about styling and styling-for you- it is all about what you like or dislike. Though, in a correct fashion setting, styling is to be based on your body- your skin and body shape.
No, this absolutely doesn’t mean you can’t dress up looking ethereal if you do not have the ‘ideal’ body shape. In fact, fashion and styling are meant to make you look like a princess, always.
It’s just that one kind of outfit might look gorgeous on a pear-shaped body while it seems less tempting on someone with an hourglass figure. On the other hand, something might look smashing on hourglass figures but not as elegant on pear-shaped ones. That’s all.
For example,
If you have a pear-shaped body, we suggest wearing a beige-colored blouse with a light vanilla-colored pleated a-line skirt. Trust us, and you will find it hard to hide from all your admirers with this ensemble.
It’s exceptional, but we think a mocha-colored leather jacket for women is precisely the final touch-up you need to look like a total enchantress.
Accentuate your assets
Prepare ideal monochromes that never fail to flaunt your assets as they cover up the features you wish to deemphasize.
For all the ladies scrolling through articles upon articles, looking for ways to highlight your beautiful curves, here’s a simple hack just for you.
Boost your appeal and leave people breathless as you slay monochromes like a queen. Never look boring as you style with unmatched poise, looking like a stunner 24/7.
First, know what you part of your pretty body you want to highlight and what not to. Second, wearing the same color in various tones give particular attention to how light or dark the tone is.
You’ve got wider hips that you’re trying to emphasize lesser and lesser? Avoid lighter shades for pants and skirts, easy. For instance, a light grey skirt paired with a darker grey top is fantastic.
But if you wish to look like a total stunner, accentuating your hips, opt for lighter-toned tops as you dress your lower half in darker tones. Dark blue pants with a light blue blouse are, for instance, total charmers.
Layering gets the work done
We know men love black color as much as they love cars- men and their toys.
Head-to-toe covered in black is practically the best thing a man could do- because they know, it takes their debonair appeals from ordinary to extraordinary in a heartbeat.
Want to know how to notch up your scale of sexiness even more as you paint yourself black? Try layering. Adding layers is essential to slaying monochromes.
Plus, when it comes to all-black ensembles, layering just helps catch double the attention without adding a touch of another color.
Elegance, class, deluxe, and charms to highlight your looks, this is what layering enhances in all-black outfits.
This means letting go of blazers, sweaters, and waist-coats. It’s time you try other options.
For casual occasions,
Pairing black denim with a black t-shirt under a shiny black leather jacket and black military-style boots work wonders.
For a more formal setting,
A 2-piece sharp and snazzy black suit with a black button-down, a black handkerchief, and a pair of black leather shoes will seal the deal.
