The essence of style is expressing who you are, and there are two very powerful ways to do it: Monochrome and color blocked. Of course, each approach has its charm — all monochrome looks look simple and elegant, while the color-blocking ones embrace the bold vitality. So when would it be okay to pick a single hue instead of a blend of some bright colors? Curious to know when to go bold (with color blocking) and when to be sleek (with monochrome outfits)? Here’s a breakdown.
1. Monochrome: Sleek and Sophisticated
Wearing a monochrome outfit (i.e. all wearing one color or different shades of the same color) looks timeless and becomes effortlessly chic. For formal circumstances, business dozens, or basic when you would like to try to produce a polished, sophisticated look, this style suits you properly. Wearing monochrome outfits is quite slimming but it is better to wear something darker like black, navy, or burgundy instead. For example, a head-to-toe black outfit will make you look taller and leaner.
The monochrome technique can still be used by you for less formal settings using the color of the lighter spectrum like beige, sky blue, or blush pink. If you don’t want to make a whole lot of noise, but you do want to look chic, then monochromatic is a great look. This is best when you are looking to let a pattern or texture of your apparel stand out, such as a sweater and matching trousers in matching colors.
2. Colour Blocking: Bold and Playful
While on the other end of the spectrum color blocking is all about embracing vibrancy and contrast. But if you can put your two or more contrasting colors together in one outfit, it’s going to give you an outstanding, statement-making outfit. For casual outings, events, or any other time when you want to color and energy in your outfit. color blocking is as good as it gets. The yellow top wearing a bold blue pant will attract attention and radiate confidence as well as creativity. When you want to be different and like to experiment, it’s the best choice.
With color blocking, you also have the opportunity to reframe traditional fashion rules and make your fashion. Things like combining pink and red or green and purple can be surprisingly chic. Color-blocked outfits are suitable to be worn when you want to show your personality via your clothes or when it’s an artistic and lively event.
3. For Minimalists, the color-blocked striped mini dress this season, and for Risk Takers this season is monochrome for the neutral fan children who stay on the right side.
Monochrome is the go-to option if you like a clean, minimalist aesthetic. It makes dressing a breeze, the clothes don’t clash and are polished. In professional environments, neutral and darker shades which convey authority and elegance are a favorite in monochrome as well. But if you belong to that class of people who love taking fashion risks and trying out bright shades, color blocking has infinite options ready for you. Practical for creative spaces, parties, or when you feel ready to take a chance with a statement.
4. Balancing Both Styles
You don’t have to decide between wearing monochrome or color blocking, you can mix both styles based on the occasion. Monochrome outfits are suitable for office days or any formal events. On the flip side of things, color blocking serves its purpose when you want to flash the playful side of you while making your weekend brunch / social act a lot more alive. Mixing the two styles means you can have a wardrobe that is free to work with each mood and occasion.
Two different ways of wearing the sort of dark and occasion-appropriate looks fall under the heading of dark and color blocking. With monochrome outfits, sleek sophistication and refinement certainly define the style. Color-blocked outfits, however, feature lots of boldness and vibrancy and are therefore perfect for more playful, more creative, or more casual sets of occasions. Learning the styles of both will allow you to easily transition between off-the-rack timeless elegance and eyebrow-raising, statement-making energy whether you are going to a family reunion or your graduation party.
