Which color goes with what, can pattern A be combined with pattern B and what do I do with this super beautiful, but super unusual print? Yes, yes, fashion can sometimes be quite complicated – believe us, we know that. It is all the better when cool styling succeeds without trying for hours in front of the wardrobe or desperately rolling fashion bible. Instead, the key to our fashion happiness is: monochrome look.
Does that sound complicated again? Fortunately, it is not at all. Monochrome means monochrome – and that explains the whole trend. Instead of wildly combining countless colors and patterns, we focus on one tone and let off steam and then really let it out. In 2020, strong colors such as pink or orange, everything from the pastel range and neutral tones from the Braun family are particularly popular.
This is how you style the monochrome look
Basically it is very simple: grab your favorite color (how about a rich apple green or a bright burnt orange? We looove!) And start styling. The nice thing: you can't go wrong as long as you stay true to your chosen color. So simple, so exciting! Because one thing is definitely not the monochrome look: boring. The influencers have long chosen him as their favorite fashion statement.
The street style professionals also know how to make the style even more exciting with a few little tweaks. Instead of keeping the look in the exact same color (after all, it can be a real challenge to find a blouse with balloon sleeves in the exact same lilac shade as the beloved paper bag pants), they are based on tones from the same color family. However, a little sensitivity is required here. So that the monochrome look still works, you shouldn't deviate too far from your base shade on the color scale. One or two small nuances are enough to give your style more depth and variety.
Another lever is always the good old mix of materials. Different structures automatically provide different color depths and thus bring movement to your monochrome look. So the peach-colored midi skirt with a satin look comes out really big with a knit top in the same color. The bright pink powersuit, on the other hand, gets a real style upgrade with a pink organza blouse.
With the accessories you can let off steam again
In contrast, things are less strict when it comes to accessories. Adapting shoes and bags to their monochrome look is next level, but it does not have to be mandatory. A little game with food is definitely allowed with the monochrome trend, so go for a strong contrast if you feel like it. Whatever is possible are accessories in neutral tones like white, black or beige. They adapt to every look and bring a little peace of mind, which can sometimes be an advantage, especially in combination with a strong color such as pink or orange.
