Monochrome outfits are in rave right now and might not be going out anytime soon. 

Monochromatic outfits might seem like the easiest fashion trend to pull off because what’s so hard about pulling off one colour? But the beauty of these outfits is that they pay close attention to details. 

So, how do you know the right colours to pull off monochromatic outfits like a pro? Here are eight of the most flattering colours guaranteed to have you looking like you belong on the runway:

• Navy

Monochromatic outfits don’t always have to be black; you should try navy as a fashionable alternative. Navy has all the slimming qualities of black but doesn’t look as serious as black. Need a tip? Your navy pieces don’t need to be the same shade; combine different shades of the midnight hue to add depth to what could have been an otherwise simple outfit. 

• Gray

Whether you opt for a glamorous grey monochromatic look or a lounge look, you can never go wrong with grey. For a more stylish fit, set aside your grey tees and joggers and instead choose tailored separates that compliment your figure. 

• Camel 

Another interesting choice for monochromatic outfits, camel stands out as a flattering colour on all skin tones. Often associated with the colour of luxury goods, camel denotes luxury making it a stylish fashion choice. 

Opt for camel shades lighter or darker than your natural colouring for darker skin tones. 

• Khaki 

Dark-skinned or light-skinned, anyone can rock pale khaki as a monochromatic outfit. Create a stunning khaki monochromatic look by mixing tops and bottoms with looser fits and details like buttons or pleats to add some excitement to what could have been a boring look. 

• Khaki Green 

Khaki green is another flattering colour, a great monochromatic shade when mixed with different textures and fabric. And no! You wouldn’t look like you just signed up for the army.

Boost the vibrancy of this green by accessorizing with gold jewellery, brown boots or a coloured bag.

• White 

Our list of flattering colours for monochromatic outfits would be incomplete without adding white to the list. White outfits are definitely well put together with a posh, expensive finish.

Pair your white looks anyway you want, accessorizing with a hat, jewellery and sweaters for a much-finished look. 

• Black 

Everyone’s favourite non-colour, black monochromatic outfits set the tone for the trend long before other colours found their way in. For a more refined look, try to make each piece of clothing the same shade of black; you can confirm this by holding them in different lights. 

• Burgundy 

Another rich colour for all skin tones, burgundy, is a very sexy colour. Coordinate your monochromatic outfit look with this deep red that looks excellent on almost every skin tone.

Whatever colour you decide on, one thing’s for sure, once you can match the right shades of a colour, you’re no doubt going to pull off the perfect monochromatic look.
