A look at Monochrome Fashion

Image
MONOCHROME Monochrome, minimalistic fashion is timeless. It can be worn at any age and always looks classy. From a simple pair of black jeans and a white t-shirt to a more sophisticated black and white dress, monochrome can be worn in any season at any time. It can be seen in collections from almost every designer. Some of the most noticeable could be: Chanel Suit 1986 . It is an undeniable fact that the Chanel suit is one of the most famous staples in fashion. Chanel believed that woman should be able to look sophisticated and professional while also being comfortable and able to move around.

The Chanel Suit used masculine elements to help these post war women look the part but also stay stylish and presentable.

Casual Looks! Ashleigh- Ashleigh is wearing a lace floaty crop top (Stradivarius, £14.99), black jeans (New Look, £19.99) and pink Old Skool Vans (Schuh, £65).  We liked this outfit as we thought it was very flattering with form fitting skinny jeans and then a loose lace off-shoulder top. This outfit is casual with pink platform Vans but could be dressed up with a pair of heels and even a leather jacket. Lisa-  Lisa is wearing mom jeans (River Island £25), a basic white top (Topshop, £12), pink reeboks and a pink puffer jacket (Primark £10). We chose this outfit because it is just SO wearable.

Think of the hotel building in the movie “The Grand Budapest Hotel”,  a great representation of the range of colours that can ‘pass’ as ‘Millennial Pink’.   Many designers adopted this pink into the world of fashion and it has been well received by celebrities both male and female.
