How to Pull a Monochrome Look

Back in the day when I was studying fashion, I remember seeing the monochrome look trend on WGSN coming strong for the next upcoming years.

Being able to pick a color an make a statement out of it, it's definitely a gem.  

So how to pull a monochrome look together?

First thing, pick a color and stick to it. Think on 3 things, a color that you are comfortable with,  your hair and skin color. 

Second, a monochrome look can be pulled in many different ways, a nice skirt with a tee and a blazer is cool,  and don't forget the classic trouser, top and blazer look as mine, this option is more elegant, but it all depends on the occasion and what the place you are heading to.

Mix textures to make it different 

As we are talking of something visual adding a different dimension to your look it would definitely make you stand out. 

complete your look by mixing different fabrics like velvet, silk and many others, theseare ways to make your outfit look  more interesting than what others are usually used to see on the streets.

Positive things of wearing a monochrome outfit:

You can pick which parts of your body to accentuate, remember darker tones on those parts you don't want to focus and light up the ones you want to emphasize on.

want to look taller? This trend is so good on petites, it helps to streamline your look and give the illusion of height. 

The darker the color.. the better! dark colors works best as they make you look leaner and with this... taller!

5 Layering Essentials You Need To Know

Hi Loves,
I've said this so many times.. but my thing is to mix and match layers all over. Getting creative between colors and textures is such a great thing to do because you are capable to set new trends and get the best of you during any season. Plus who said that you can't dress amazing during fall and winter?

These are the 5 main essentials:
1.  Seek inside you closet 
and take out your main pieces for the season,
this can be a black coat, leather anything, boots, etc.
2. Get playful around textures 
believe it or not this is also a great way of turning your outfit into a major statement,
As an example try to mix velvet, leather, fur, anything cozy and something that you feel totally comfortable in.

3. Add a Pop of Color!
This essential is very personal, I really feel that giving contrast between colors is such a nice way of adding an extra spice to your look.

4. Don't make it too bulky
Creating a cohesive look is also important, make sure to add proportions and stick with only one big item, it doesn't needs to be your coat it can be sweater, a scarf, wide leg pants (as mine) and give the right touch with your accessories.
5. Have fun and be confident
I'll never get tired of saying this, but whatever is on your mind, your project to others. Make sure of feeling yourself while you walk with the outfit you created and S L A Y!
