Some people think plain colors are boring or won’t stand out, but honestly, it all depends on how you put all the pieces together in order to make an outfit worth remembering. They say that sometimes less is more, but when it comes to a monochromatic outfit, layering and pairing it up with different accessories will definitely add more flair to any look. That is why this week’s STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK is all about the perfect match for an otherwise plain outfit.
This Fashionista’s choice of a bold patterned scarf really adds a touch of edginess to her outfit; a perfect match for the ripped-knee pants and jean jacket. The whole ensemble is monochromatic, which is why the addition of a scarf really helps her stand out. The round sunglasses complement her outfit by adding a colorful vintage touch. Her shoes are simple, but go accordingly with the rest of the pieces and further highlights the look’s vintage vibe.
My favorite part about this outfit is the cross-body purse with a painting of a leopard, which really stands out since the rest of the outfit is dark and simple. The key to wearing a colorful, eye-catching accessory is to make sure it is complements the outfit as opposed to creating a clash of patterns, which is something this Fashionista kept in mind. If you’re looking at your wardrobe and find mostly dark colored items, just remember that you have a lot of freedom in terms of how you pair up the pieces, so go ahead and mix and match all you want.
What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “I would say just wear simple clothes and layer it up. It is easier when you wear an outfit that doesn’t have many patterns because you can mix and match other pieces.”
