Despite monotone featuring heavily on recent catwalks, many women shy away from the trend for fear of looking like a waitress.

However, according to Harpers Bazaar blogger Geneva Vanderzeil, there is little reason for concern, as outfits in black and white can easily be thrown together by following a few simple tips:

 

  • Wear a luxe fabric such as leather — try a skirt or skinny pants.
  • Accessorise with gold or silver jewellery. A fine gold chain necklace can add that extra touch of stylish elegance.
  • Top off your look with a sexy red lipstick. Vanderzeil recommended MAC’s ‘Lady Danger’.

Monotone can be extremely flattering when pieced together correctly for a stylish and sophisticated look.

The idea of pairing black and white has been around for a long time and the latest influx of designs show that this trend remains innovative. Monotone should be a staple in anyone’s wardrobe.
