Style is personal to everyone, but whatever you do, do it well and rock it with confidence. Monochrome styling uses only variations of a single color, typically differing in lightness and darkness. This means pairing different shades of the same color in one outfit.
This is a unique fashion choice, as not everyone gets it right or even attempts it, given that it can seem complicated. However, once you get the hang of it, you’ll love it. On the other hand, color blocking involves combining two or several major colors in one outfit—a bold and creative way to style your look. Are you daring enough to try either of these two styles?
If you don’t have multiple shades of one color for an outfit, it might be better to go for color blocking, as you can simply pair two bold colors and achieve a striking look. Make sure to study color combinations carefully to avoid clashing colors, which can give a less polished appearance.
For color blocking, combinations like deep purple and yellow, orange and dark pink, or green and red can create bold and stylish outfits. As for monochrome, it’s best to pair a darker shade with a lighter shade to keep the look balanced and ensure the outfit doesn’t appear too overpowering.
Whether it’s office wear, a dinner date, or a casual outfit, you too can rock either monochrome style or color blocking. Walk confidently with your head held high! These styles are not your everyday fashion choices, but with the right color combinations and outfit selection, you can make them work.
Opt for simple hair and subtle makeup, as these styles already make a bold statement. White and black accessories can help diffuse the intensity of colors if you’re not fully comfortable with going all-in on monochrome or color blocking. Both styles make great fashion statements and can help you carve a niche for yourself in any crowd.
