If there’s an easier way to make a dramatic statement, point me to it: Monochrome—wearing one color from head to toe—is having a moment right now, and it makes for some seriously streamlined ensembles. Just commit to one color and run with it; whether you stick to the exact same shade or play with different gradients is up to you. (For bonus points, play with textures and proportions to add visual interest.) Scroll down for some of our favorite looks.
An all-white outfit makes an icy statement. Cozy it up with some soft texture for an apres-ski-ready look.
A Bordeaux-colored leather pantsuit is statement-making, and with monochrome, there’s never too much of a good thing: We love the commitment to the theme with the oxblood bag.
Oversized cuts dress down this 2019 take on a three-piece suit; the terra-cotta color is seriously head-turning.
You don’t have to keep your colors muted: A bold, bright turquoise adds some splash to a gray day. A flippy skirt and party shoes keep the fun look fun from feeling overly formal.
Playing with proportions (a jacked swiped from a linebacker, the mini-est of skirts, a clutch you could carry a terrier in) adds dimension to a monochrome outfit. If you have a pair of boots for showing off, going monochromatic up top is a sure way to put them in the spotlight.
Priyanka Chopra proves that monochrome works with multiple shades: Her pink-on-pink look is an outfit we could take to the office.
A cropped suit-style jacket might just be our new favorite thing to wear with high-waisted trousers. (Plus, it’ll keep us warmer in a freezing office.) Apple green is a make-you-look-twice shade that makes the proportions feel fresh and modern.
Ground a bright monochromatic look with a bag or shoes in on-trend cloud white.
