Monochromatic dressing is a favourite trick of fashion designers and stylists. Because it makes everybody look slimmer and taller instantly. Plus, it's always elegant, and it's an extremely easy way to dress--almost a total no brainer! You have to wonder why more women outside the fashion industry don't take advantage of it. Monochromatic dressing is a handy tool during times of financial insecurity, when its best to invest in basic styles and colours and work your wardrobe with neutrals.
Technically, dressing monochromatically is wearing one colour--any colour-- from head to toe and it works. Colour is the first thing most people notice about an outfit, and dressing in one colour produces a strong unbroken vertical line that elongates the body. When we combine these together , you have a powerful slimming tool.
Monochromatic dressing in no way limits the amount of texture that can be worn, actually adding texture creates interest and distances your outfit by looking and feeling boring. Texture can even help define the mood of your outfit, like adding softness and femininity with lace, chiffon, or and edgy feel with velvet. Textures like ribbing, knits, tweeds, and jacquard fabrics all add interest, and when worn within the same colour palette adhere to the monochromatic slimming effect.
And my favourite style tip with monochromatic dressing is to accessorise, accessorise, accessorise…
