Monochromatic WHAT?? No, it’s not something you should be learning about in science class. It has to do with fashion, and it’s an important lesson, so listen up!

My Clothing Helper has a GREAT one-line explanation: “A monochromatic color scheme features a lighter and darker version of the same color.”

See, we said it was pretty simple, right?

That said, it’s not always the easiest thing to pull off an entire outfit in the same color, but it’s AWESOME when done right.

Monochromatic looks are in right now, especially for these colors:

  • White on white – think either winter whites OR crisp spring/summer whites

  • Pink on pink – pink is one of THE most popular colors for spring 2014

Psst. Definitely check out that link…it’s a GREAT intro to color theory, which may sound scary, but it’s not, we promise!!
