Black and white is a key fashion trend. It is safe to say the classic colour combination looks good on most women, irrespective of their skin tone, body structure or age. A sophisticated trend, pulling off the look may not be as easy as it seems. To stand out in a monochrome ensemble, you need to know these tips by heart.
Monochrome 101:
Introducing another colour into a monochrome ensemble would lessen the impact. So if your neckline begs for ornamentation, choose a statement piece in black or white. Shoes can be black, white, or a mix of the two, and make-up should do nothing more than highlight your brows and bone structure. Go for well-made
pieces in fabrics that will not wear out over time.
Add a pop of colour:
As subtle as monochrome might seem, it is an attention- grabbing fashion theme. Given that black and white are neutral colours, it is easy to fit in a bright colour. This makes your outfit fun and exciting. Limit it to one colour, though. Make it as loud and bold or as subtle and soft as you like. It all depends on your personal style.
Pair with prints and patterns:
Another way to style a black and white outfit is to wear the colours in patterns or prints. This is perfect if you do not like wearing too many plain solid pieces in one look or if you simply want more interesting details in your outfit. Popular choices include, polka dots, zebra prints and checkered patterns. Prints make the monochrome look a little softer. Wearing dots and stripes in the same look might seem impossible to pull off but you can absolutely combine monochrome patterns in a singular look.
Make-up:
When rocking the monochrome trend, your make-up should not be loud if you want to achieve a subtle look. If you want to go sassy, then red is a good choice. Bright yellow accessories can be fashionable, but bright yellow accessories with matching eyeshadow, crosses the border. For make-up; you can wear eyeshadow in any metallic colour you choose.
Accessories:
To brighten up a monochrome look, simply add a pair of brightly- coloured heels and chunky accessories. Add a splash of colour in the form of a single accessory such as a scarf, necklace, or pair of shoes. It is a sure-fire way of getting attention.
Pair a black jacket with a black top and white skirt or with a white top and some sleek black pants. Shoes, jewellery, scarves can all be tied into the monochrome theme or used to add a touch of colour. Bright red heels make a statement when paired with uncomplicated black and white.
