Opting for tones in the same color family can sound like a cliché, but if you know how to do it properly, you can create a striking outfit. The trend has been around for quite some time, but 2022 has seen the monochrome dressing gaining the attention it deserves.
WOMENSWEAR
Sometimes it might seem easy to achieve, but it doesn’t always go smoothly. The easiest way, of course, is choosing both top and bottom in the same shade. The thing is – it will always look well put together, but it might look a little monotonous. If you want to go all in, add jacket, shoes, bag and accessories in different shades of the same color, and you won’t go unnoticed.
There’s a perfect monochrome combo for every occasion, you just need to find the right balance. DSCENE Magazine Fashion Editors put together 5 outfits that will serve for every occasion you might have this winter.
