How to wear the monochrome look?

How to wear the monochrome look?

The monochromatic outfit is made up of a single color, possibly in several shades. It offers the considerable advantage of being adaptable to any occasion and any mood. It's a sure-fire fashion trend that you're sure to love. In this article, we reveal all the secrets for a successful monochrome look!

The monochrome style: 4 rules to follow

1. Use different materials

To keep your monochrome ensemble from looking too bland, we recommend exploring a variety of materials and textures. Add depth to your outfit by playing with your creativity. For example, combine a flowing satin skirt with a cotton tee-shirt, or a cashmere sweater with wool pants... There are many Jumpsuits possibilities, so make the most of your wardrobe.

2. Exploring nuances

Our essential tip for a monochrome look? Explore different shades of the same color. For example, if you like pink, you can mix shades of light pink, dark pink and salmon. There's no better way to create a captivating fashion look! It's important to add depth to your look, to avoid weighing down your silhouette.

3. Overlapping parts

For the perfect color total look, we recommend layering different pieces. Opt for simple pieces to create a visually powerful look: a blazer, T-shirt and suit pants from the same color and you're done! That's what layering is all about: combining different pieces in a single outfit.

4. Accessorize your monochrome outfit

Accessories play an important role in creating a monochrome outfit. They add contrast and an extra dimension. But be careful not to overdo it! If you opt for a bag in the same color as your outfit, turn to a softer pair of shoes, with neutral colors colors such as black or white. Alternatively, you can opt for a neutral outfit, such as grey, and add energy by adding a bag from color, like electric blue, for example.

The colors trends for a monochrome look

The choice of color is ultimately the most crucial step in achieving a monochromatic look. It's decided according to skin tone, season and occasion: blue for fair skin, white for summer, red for Valentine's Day...

For a confident choice and a chic, trendy, understated outfit, opt for the elegance of monochrome looks in black, beige, gray or white.

Pastel colors adds a delicate touch of freshness to your outfit: focus on pale pink, lemon yellow or sky blue.

For the more daring, we turn to brighter colors such as red, electric blue or orange at colors .

Incorporate monochrome style into your spring wardrobe

Choose light, cheerful shades such as powder pink, mint green, sky blue, pastel yellow or lavender. Choose flowing, relaxed-cut garments for the perfect spring style: flowing dresses, flared skirts and loose-fitting pants.

Adopt the sun trends for a monochrome summer look

This time, choose bright colors that evoke summer energy: sunshine yellow, coral, turquoise or mint green. White remains a timeless, refreshing option for summer. A monochromatic outfit in white evokes casual elegance and offers a neutral canvas for colorful accessories. For an outfit that's perfect for hot days, choose light, airy fabrics: linen, chiffon or silk.

Dare to go monochrome this autumn for a dazzling back-to-school look

Burgundy, brown, olive green, terracotta or camel are among the rich hues perfect for this season. Choose fall-appropriate textiles such as wool, tweed, corduroy or leather. These materials will add a touch of style and a feeling of warmth and comfort to your look.

Our fashion tips for wearing monochrome in winter

During the winter season, textures take on a special importance. Mix warm materials such as wool, cashmere, velvet or leather to create an interesting monochromatic look while staying well insulated against the cold. In addition, opt for colors that evoke the season, such as navy blue, burgundy, dark gray, emerald green or black.

And don't hesitate to enhance your look with metallic accessories, which are always welcome at this time of year.

Mistakes to avoid in a monochrome outfit

While the monochrome look is a very elegant trend, certain mistakes can compromise the desired effect. Here are the mistakes you must avoid:

  • Choose shades that are flattering to your skin tone. Wearing a color that doesn't suit your skin tone can really detract from your overall look.
  • Don't neglect variations in texture or your outfit will look a little flat.
  • Accessories can be the key to breaking the monotony. Don't forget to add elements such as jewelry, shoes or a bag to bring contrast.
  • Avoid shades that are too summery in autumn and colors too autumnal in summer. As mentioned above, some colors shades are better suited to certain seasons.
  • Don't underestimate the power of contrast. Sometimes, contrasting elements, such as a belt or shoes in a different color , can enrich your monochrome look.
