Wearing Monochromes is a choice, but Carrying off Monochromes is an art!
Monochrome, quite literally, means a single color. When you wear just one color, it is your attitude and the way you carry yourself that accentuates your look and makes you stand out in a crowd.
A monochrome in black and white entails styling a look entirely in Black and White that is, using ensembles in white and black tones.
Earlier your black and white apparels were only reserved for special shindigs, weddings, funerals, graduation, and formal events. But over the years, despite all the changes in fashion, trends and styles, monochrome still commands respect and occupies a special spot be it for a formal event, semi formal or even a casual day look.
Monochromes in black and white are timeless. They help create looks that, when carried off right, become iconic pieces. They have a charm to them like the old black and white movies. Elegant and undying!
Styling in black and white looks smart and dapper. The person appears refined and polished. Black looks very slimming. Sometimes when I get bored of all the colors and the various combinations and hues, I come back to black and white for a break. I use it like a palette cleanser or a retreat.
Black and white monochromes are undoubtedly very easy to pair. They are easily available and can be worn in all kinds of weather and seasons, by people of all skin tones.
There is a wide scope to experiment and rediscover this minimalist style. It allows the safe dressers to opt for the classic choices while the wild ones can experiment to their hearts
