TURN BLACK AND WHITE THIS SUMMER!!
Wondering what to add on to your wardrobe this spring/summer 2013? It couldn’t get simpler with the monochrome trend in this season. The eternal colors; black and white are back with a bang this spring. From stripes, chevrons, geometric prints, checks, polka-dots or just the solid colors paired together, the trend was all over the fashion street. A splash of black and white can lift a boring outfit to a buzzy one. The look is simple, sophisticated and uniquely stylish.
Loads of designers embraced the trend this summer including Giles, Louis Vuitton and Jil Sander.
The look is based on only two colors, black and white complemented with edgy accessories.
Styling tips for embracing the Monochrome trend-
- Abstract prints, checks, stripes or just the solid colors paired together. Make sure the outfit balances your body frame.
- Accessories should be of the same color tone or you can also complement your monochrome look with bright colors- red, pink, green or blue.
- Wear heels, wedges or stilettos to enhance the elegance of the look.
- Find the perfect fit while wearing monochromes. Loose and misfit dresses can cause a fashion disaster.
