How to Wear A Monochromatic Outfit This Winter | Baretraps Shoes

ByHelloIm50ish

Ladies while we wait for spring fashion filled with happy bright colors have you tried wearing a monochromatic outfit this winter?

I love wearing a monochromatic outfit in the winter and I bet you enjoy wearing them too. I am constantly wearing all black but there are so many other wonderful colors we can wear for a monochromatic look.

What is Monochromatic?

In fashion terms, monochromatic dressing means wearing separates of one color that have different textures and/or similar shades of that color for an overall tonal look. 

A monochromatic outfit is a very simple and clean style and I do love wearing this trend when I have the right pieces to pull together. If done correctly, a monochromatic look can be just as show-stopping as a patterned dress or statement jacket.

How to Wear a Monochromatic Outfit

First, pick out a color that looks good on you for your monochromatic outfit.

Make sure the color is one that looks great against your skin tone and hair, and that you feel comfortable in. Since I took the Carol Tuttle Style Quiz in the fall my colors tend to follow my color type.

Go beyond the all-black outfit and experiment with different colors. Many of us love wearing an all-black outfit because it’s such an effortless look and very chic.

I am wearing an outfit from my closet that is from Chico’s but I updated the outfit by wearing new suede boots from Baretraps.

Wear Different Textures

Make sure you mix textures within your monochromatic outfit! If your monochromatic outfit were comprised of the same fabric throughout, it would likely come off looking dull. You want to add visual interest, depth, and dimension to your look so it’s not one-dimensional or boring.

Wear Layers

Wearing layers will be an easy way to add texture to your outfit.

The Dayle Boots

Don’t forget your shoes or boots when it comes to texture. They play a role in adding interest to your outfit. Consider how leather, patent, suede, or satin shoes will work with the outfit you’re trying to create. I selected the Dayle suede boots from Baretraps Shoes to go with my outfit today.
