When it comes to style solutions that check every box — low-effort, fashion-forward, playful, and (preferably) comfortable — monochrome outfits continue to reign supreme. Although wearing one color head to toe was once considered a somewhat bold choice, the trend has evolved into a classic way of dressing, beloved by red carpet-going celebrities and sweatsuit-lovers alike.
Still, there’s more to nailing the monochromatic look than simply slipping on those pre-made matching sets. If you’re hoping to spice things up this year, there are a few key moves that can help you do so, from adding accessories to alternating between different shades.
Gather some inspiration for a future ensemble, ahead.
Add Accessories

If you’re slipping into a jumpsuit or dress, or already matched your shirt to your pants, complete the look by adding a coordinating hat, handbag, or sunglasses to provide some extra oomph.
Keep It Comfy

Sticking to a single color can make your comfiest clothes — such as an oversize sweatshirt and yoga pants — feel a bit more elevated.
Slip On Those Sneakers
