I Monochrome You

I Monochrome You by silvanacasalins81 on polyvore.com

In the world of fashion, people are always trying to create new ideas, new colors combinations, etc. and it's great, but sometimes, what we look is a color that matches all in one style. A color that define us. 

Monochromatic looks tend to be "boring" for some people, but I think is a matter of perspective, for me, is totally the other way around; it's a complete elegant, polish, chic way to wear a garment. It's up to you to choose the right pieces to make it work. 

When the "right" garments start to play more than anything, you need to pay attention to the smallest details. Need to know how to pick wisely a fabric, with movement, great quality and of course, one that you can pair with any other, that way, you can use it for different outfits. The color, this is important,  it has to be in the same gamma, it doesn't matter if it's a little bit different but to be a monochromatic look, the hue must be as close/similar as possible. 

Personally, I like to construct a monochromatic look with neutrals, basic colors (nude, black, white, pale pink, gray, sand), these are subtle colors that gives you a bigger perspective at the time to pair your pieces. If you like to add a different touch to the outfit to break the chromaticism, just add one garment with a strong color (red, emerald, cobalt blue), for example, a bag or a pair of shoes, this is a great way to make it fun. If your outfit is based on a strong color, then choose one garment with a neutral to balance. 

These three outfits shows you exactly what I'm trying to explain, creative, glamorous and perfect for this season. You can make it a master piece if you choose well.  

Black and white are still rocking the streets of summer so keep trying it on! 

See you next week!
