I’ve always been a fan of neutral tones, and I really love incorporating them into my wardrobe.  Neutral tones have a way of giving an outfit a refined look, and they are truly easy to style and pair with almost anything in your closet.  One of the ways I personally enjoy styling neutrals are in monochrome looks, because these outfits can be easy to pull together, and to me, they look stylish and not overdone.

For this neutral monochrome outfit, I paired my Ann Taylor Triacetate Split Neck Tunic, with my cream wide leg pants.  I accessorized with my J. Crew Sandal, and my Rebecca Minkoff Quilted Mini Affair bag.  I’m really happy that I purchased this Ann Taylor Tunic, because it was perfect to pair with my cream wide leg pants for a monochrome look, but also because I can see my my self pairing it with other items in my closet from black and tan to denim.  If you like monochrome looks, in today’s “Style Guide”, I’m sharing a few tips for styling a monochromatic outfit.

Style Guide:  Tips For Styling A Monochromatic Outfit

Commit To One Shade – Start by selecting one color that you like and that suits you to build your look.

Incorporate Different Tones – Try incorporating different shades (lighter or darker) of the one color you choose for your look.

Try Different Textures – Add some interest to your monochrome look by mixing textures like lace and leather or suede.

Add Contrasting Accessories – Accessories in contrasting colors help to break up the look, and keep it from looking over the top.
