Monochromatic means “one color”. And monochromatic color schemes come from a single base hue (e.g., blue) and are extended using this hue’s shades, tones, and tints (e.g., pastel blue and navy blue).

In fashion, this means that we create and style an outfit using shades of a single color. While you can stick to just one hue, you can balance it out using different shades and tints. The best part of a monochromatic look is that it’s an easy way to create a cohesive and put-together outfit.

When worn with style, a monochromatic outfit can be both unexpected and fashion-forward. (The monochrome trend is everywhere right now!) It might seem tough to pull off, but I promise it’s easier than it looks.
