What Is Monochromatic?

The word “mono” in monochromatic means single and “chromatic” means color. An outfit composed of only one color would be monochromatic.

It’s a common misconception that monochrome outfits are basically wearing the same shade of one color, from head to toe. In reality, you can mix and match shades or variants and be as creative as you want with it!

Because you’re only working with similar tones, you have more freedom when it comes to mixing and matching fabrics and cuts, and also adding a touch of color with accessories or jewelry.

This past summer and fall, you may have seen a lot of bright and colorful monochromatic outfits, but if you want to adapt the monochrome trend for wintertime, you might want to try it with darker colors.
