One for All: Monochromatic Dressing for Fall and Winter

October 30, 2018 By Katie Rushton Leave a Comment

Monochromatic dressing is a major trend this fall, and we don’t want anyone to miss out on this classic and elegant styling choice because she doesn’t know where to start. Monochromatic fashion, which means wearing only one color from head to toe, has its roots in modern art and was once considered avant garde. But it’s a much more mainstream look now and easier to assemble with lots of great examples from this year’s fashion weeks.

Keep this one simple practice in mind when wearing a monochromatic ensemble: it’s important to vary the tones of your one color from piece to piece within your outfit. This will help you to avoid looking too matchy-matchy or costume-y, and will create some definition for the most flattering appearance possible.

We’ve chosen five colors from which to build five monochromatic looks. Each one is super different on the surface, but using the rule of tone variance above helped us pull them all together with ease.

 

MONOCHROMATIC DRESSING: NAVY

Navy is the color of pure class. Even with slouchy pants , it’s hard to make navy look lazy. Also, prints are a great way to add tonal interest while staying on theme.

MONOCHROMATIC DRESSING: CREAM

“No white after Labor Day” is widely discredited these days, but I think ladies are still reluctant to embrace the liberation. Wearing white or cream in “cold weather” fabrics, such as fleece or faux fur, makes it all better we promise!

MONOCHROMATIC DRESSING: RED

The boldest of the bold wear red! My favorite thing about this outfit is the variety of red tones side by side–from candy apple red to pinot noir.

MONOCHROMATIC DRESSING: BEIGE/TAN

We’re using another print–leopard–here to break up the solids but stay within the neutral color palette. The versatility of this monochromatic look allows you to throw on some beige sneakers in place of the flats and instantly channel weekend vibes.

MONOCHROMATIC DRESSING: PASTEL (PERIWINKLE)

Like white, pastels are often overlooked in the cooler months. I love this combination of lavender and sky blue for an all-over cool effect.
