When it comes to working out what to wear, opting for a monochromatic look is the perfect way of keeping elegance at the forefront. And it’s a trend that has been seen time and time again on many celebrities – and, let’s face it, they know a thing or two about keeping things simple when time is tight.
Kim Kardashian, for example, has long be a massive fan of monochrome combinations. Priyanka Chopra, Jennifer Lopez and Meghan Markle have also shown that the most elegant option when it comes to monochrome dressing is keeping the accessories to a minimum. Check out the following gallery for some serious style inspo.
The combination of different materials and textures is key as Meghan Markle demonstrates. The Duchess opted for a range of reds – from burgundy through ruby – in an outfit whose main focal point was its deep v-necked top by Joseph. She also wore a leather pencil skirt by Hugh Boss and pumps by Sarah Flint. Pick a darker tone on top and a lighter one for the bottom to add a modern twist.
Jennifer Lopez paired an animal print bag with her monochrome look to give a bit of visual relief. She also played with textures – another important trick when opting for an outfit in one color. She mixed satin wide leg pants, a silk and cashmire high-necked sweater with feather detailing around the elbow – both by the designer Sally LaPointe. Of course, she also rocked some patent Anouk pumps by Jimmy Choo.
Priyanka Chopra rocked a monochrome green pastel Lia Cohen outfit comprised of a turtle neck top and pleated pants – both in a velvety finish which added lumosity to the look. And by combining slightly contrasting accessorizes like the snakeskin Liz pumps by Jimmy Choo and the crocodile skin Estelle bag by Cult Gaia, she gave the outfit the perfect finish.
