Color Me: Monochromatic in Fashion and Interiors
There is no secret trick to wearing monochromatic outfits. As long as you have tops, bottoms, and accessories in the sameĀ colorĀ (different shades of the color will work too), dressing in all one hue is super simple and looks really chic.Ā
Designing your room around a monochromatic color palette is an incredibly simple way to bring a touch of elegance to your interiors.
Monochromatic Interiors
As an interior designer, I love monochromatic colored interiors.
They are clean, simple, and very sophisticated. Just like this all-white bathroom.

Adding a “Pop of color” against a monochromatic background will really stand out. Your eyes go immediately to the flowers and limes in this all-white kitchen.

Monochromatic Fashion
In fashion terms, monochromatic dressing means wearing separates of one color that have different textures and/or similar shadesĀ of that color for an overall tonal look.Ā
I added texture with theĀ Landyn Multistrand necklaceĀ and theĀ Landyn drop earringsĀ from Chico’s.Ā
Wearing this monochromatic outfit, do your eyes suddenly go to my blue silk wrap?
I introduced aĀ Ā “Pop of Color” to my outfit just like I would as an interior designer.Ā
A monochromatic color scheme serves as a sophisticated backdrop if you want something to stand out, just like this silk wrap does.
If you want to draw attention to a special purse, necklace, Ā or shoes, wear a monochromatic outfit.
Whether itās top-to-bottom jewel tones, winter whites, or a neutral ensemble,Ā monochromaticĀ dressingĀ definitely offers visual relief from the more frenzied trends of past seasons. No matter your shape or style, monochromatic always looks sharp, so donāt be afraid to experiment!Ā
