The fashion world has seen hundreds, if not, thousands of trends come and go during the last few decades – flared pants, skorts, chokers, and the list goes as long as Singapore’s Hello Kitty queue. Although some of these came back eventually, most died down within a couple of years or so. Yet, there is one trend that never runs out of fashion, and it is none other than monochrome.
On model: Plain Mermaid DressTimeless, classic, and sophisticated, yet it holds a powerful and bold statement. Of course, Black-and-white colour palette is nothing new to the fashion world. Simply look at the Hollywood award ceremonies and gala dinners, you will see that huge celebrities strutting their monochrome outfits.
On model: Polo Tees DressSome may be like “wait, mono simi (what) chrome fashion?” Don’t worry if you’re hiding under a rock. In fact, monochrome literally means mono (one or a few) and chrome (colors) – put together, it is to strut an outfit that comprised of very few colors of the same hue. It can be in bright, dark, or even nude colors. For example, dark denim jacket paired with navy-blue jeans, you get the idea? But well, as the fashionistas always say - You can never go wrong with black, and you know the next line, once you go black, you never go back.

In a world where almost everyone tries to outshine the crowd, monochrome fashion may seem underwhelming, but the right combination of simplicity will make you look like a real star.
Best of all? Teaming colors of the similar spectrum means that you probably won’t mess up when you switch up your outfits and explore various patterns. Have a white shirt in your cabinet? Black skirt or jacket? You’re pretty much halfway there. Swag it up with a statement necklace or shoes with contrasting colors and you will get yourself a winning combination. Simple? Checked. Classy? Checked.
