8 Cute and Easy Monochromatic Outfit Ideas

1. Red monochromatic outfit

I always used to have a rule that if I was wearing a red dress, I wouldn’t wear red heels with it.

I always thought it was too matchy-matchy. Now, here I am today head-to-toe in the color! But you know what? I don’t hate it!

The fact that my playsuit has a pattern makes a massive difference in breaking up all the red.

2. Yellow monochromatic outfit

Yellow is such a lovely, happy color, but it’s not something I usually wear. This skirt, belt, and cardigan are the only items in my closet in this cheery hue.

This outfit isn’t quite as head-to-toe monochromatic as the others because I had to branch out a little bit further for the accessories. The tan-brown, beige and golden hues are still in the same color-family though.

Overall, I think I can get away with it. Even though I didn’t have a lot of choice on what to go with, I think this turned out as one of my favorites. It’s totally giving me Cher from Clueless vibes!

3. Blue monochromatic outfit

Flowing on into blue and, surprisingly, this turned out to be one of the hardest outfits of the bunch.

I think this outfit is a good example of how having a slight variance in the shade of color can make a big difference in making the outfit cohesive as a whole.

4. Purple monochromatic outfit

I really struggled with choosing what pieces to put together for my purple outfit as well.

I have a decent amount of purple in my closet, but nothing was just pairing quite the way I wanted with the shoes and the handbag. 

These were the best two options, which gets your vote?

I think after wearing them my favorite is the first outfit but perhaps without the bag. My clothing has more warm shades of purple whereas the handbag is the only cool purple.

So, I think it just looks a little out of place. Who needs a handbag, right? But this has taught us another handy lesson for how to make a good monochrome outfit. Stick to all warm shades or all cool shades but not both.

5. Green monochromatic outfit

I’m not really the biggest fan of green except when it comes to mint and teal.

What luck that these two shades just seem to complement each other really well. I don’t however have any green tops, so I’ve had to go with the ole cardigan as a top.

6. Pink monochromatic outfit

Pink ended up being a very nostalgic look for me. It was one of my favorite colors as a kid growing up in the 90s. I also had great inspiration from Elle Woods, Paris Hilton, Mean Girls, and Barbie.

This is definitely something I would have wanted to wear. I’d say that out of all the colors, I definitely have the most pink items in my wardrobe so this outfit was the easiest to pull together a full head-to-toe look for.

7. Black monochromatic outfit

I really love the idea of styling this blazer as a dress with a lace bralette peeking out from underneath but up till now, I didn’t have an occasion to be able to wear it. An all-black look is the perfect excuse to try this out!

While it did end up coming in a little too short, I think I still achieved the look I was going for by adding a black mini-skirt underneath which you can hardly tell is there at all. Thigh-high boots were the perfect black cherry on top to achieve this sexy, sultry look.

8. White monochromatic outfit

My only shoe choice for my all-white outfit is my white sneakers so I had to go for a casual cool look. I managed to create a mostly white look although there are some black accents on the cropped hoodie and the handbag, but I think that together they tie in nicely.

The bag has a slightly more professional work attire vibe, but I don’t actually mind it with this sporty combo which is lucky as it was my only white handbag choice.

I definitely wouldn’t recommend wearing all white if you are someone who is prone to clumsy behavior though or a mum of young children!
