How to Wear Monochrome For Fall and Winter
Is It Cool to Dress in One Shade Head to Toe? The Answer Is Always Yes
Dressing in head-to-toe black isn't the only way to wear monochrome. Just take a few notes from runways and street style stars rocking everything from electric neons to rich Fall tones. Although black might seem like a safe and obvious choice, allow us to convince you why other colors are worth trying, too. From approachable neutrals to more daring, vibrant tones, we're sharing a handful of ideas ahead.
Yellow
Call it marigold, canary, or just plain yellow — this tone is undeniably loud and fun. But don't let its boldness scare you off; the warm undertone makes the color more wearable than you'd think. To help ease in before fully committing, try pairing a puffer, cable-knit sweater, and scarf with denim and neutral accessories.
Green
When it comes to classic neutrals, olives and army greens provide some much-needed variety. The tone is universally flattering and approachable, making it a great choice for anyone dipping their toe into monochrome. We especially love this knee-length coat, turtleneck sweater, and a pair of wide-leg pants for a utilitarian-yet-chic look.
Red
Red is another one of those approachable — and surprisingly neutral — shades. It pairs nicely with black, cream, and all shades of denim, while providing a nice color contrast, especially during the holiday season. When trying out a red monochrome outfit, don't be afraid to play with the hues and intensity levels by mixing a more vibrant, true-red jacket with a deeper toned top and pants.
Purple
If you live life colorfully, an all-purple outfit might be right up your alley. With a mix of soft lavenders and vibrant violets, you can create a look that's insanely fun without feeling too over the top. To do so, we recommend balancing a pastel-toned sweater with fun socks and a bright puffer jacket.
Beige
Oatmeal is more than just an energy-fueling breakfast choice — it's an entire movement in the fashion world. Although this shade is the most obvious neutral on our list, that doesn't make it any less chic. Wide-leg chinos, a turtleneck sweater, and a long wool coat are a killer #OOTD trifecta.
