Who doesn’t like an all-black outfit
for the night-outs or a pure white ensemble for the sunny days? Here are some
easy ways to add colour to a monochrome outfit
Dressing head-to-toe in a single color,
tone or pattern can be both difficult and fun. From electric colors to neutral
tones, layering in monochrome will guarantee you absolute throughout the year.
Follow these tips for those pops of
colour:
- The most instant way to add colour to your ensemble is by using
your accessories. Your accessories are versatile and can be worn in
multiple ways without seeming too repetitive.Revive your tunic and jeans combination with a bright scarf.
- Use your colourful links or bead necklaces for a splash of
colour. Adding jewellery to your ensemble is also a good to layer in humid
climates.
- If your wardrobe has a lot of plain colours, then invest in a few
bright-coloured shoes. They are a good way of adding colour without
overpowering your outfit.
- Bags and clutches are the ideal way to add colour. Wear a neon green
clutch with a plain black dress or a bright pink tote to a grey t-shirt
and jeans combination.
- Add a sheer or lace shrug in the same tone, this will take away from the monotony and create a dimension to your outfit.
- While jewellery, shoes and bags are a great way of adding
colour, don’t forget to your sunglasses for the same purpose. Whether it’s
Zeenat Amaan’s rose-tinted sunnies in the 80s or Carrie Bradshaw’s bright
gold glares in Sex and the City, your sunglasses add instantaneous lift
your ensemble.
The
colour palette:
Browns, nudes and camels: These are neutral colours and blend in easily with almost all
shades. Try beige with purples, camel shades with blues or browns with greens
play with these colours with almost any shade.
Greys and taupes: Greys look great with salmon pinks and try to blend darker grey
shades with maroons or even reds. The distinct contrast will completely lift
your outfit.
Blacks: While adding colour to the classic black
ensemble is a tricky choice. Opt to mix corals or burnt
orange shades with all-black outfits. Avoid the typical choices like red and
pink, try electric blue pops instead.
