Monochrome look: how to play with a single color?
In the world of fashion, trends come and go, but some transcend seasons without losing their appeal. The monochrome look is one of them. Minimalist and refined, it involves creating an outfit using a single color from head to toe. At MAEVY , we love exploring this aesthetic for its ability to make a strong style statement while remaining elegant and timeless.
Why adopt monochrome?
By reducing the palette to a single shade, attention is focused on cuts, materials, and textures . Far from being boring, this approach allows for experimentation and reveals the richness of a color.
For example, a caramel corduroy ensemble plays with light and the depth of the fabric. The monochrome thus gives an impression of unity and fluidity, while still allowing room for the personality of the wearer.
The monochrome version by MAEVY
At MAEVY, the choice of colors is at the heart of our identity. Working with a single color means enhancing it by exploring all its facets:
After choosing your color, all you have to do is emphasize:
- The cuts, fluid or structured, will sculpt the silhouette.
- Textures (knit, viscose, corduroy…) will create contrasts.
- The overlays, which will add dimension.
And to inspire you, we've imagined a few monochrome outfits to adopt without hesitation.
Head-to-toe lilac: A monochromatic lilac outfit creates a look that is both soft and assertive.
