Easy And Elegant, These Monochrome Outfits Always Work

High on polish and easy to pull together, a trusty monochrome outfit never disappoints …

The best monochrome outfits have depth and texture. We love how stylist Kate Foley combines a lace skirt and shoes with gold hardware for a thoroughly modern look.

Rewear an old maxi skirt – nod to the now by pairing it with penny loafers. The laid-back styling of the T-shirt contrasts nicely with the formality of the structured black tote bag, it’s the perfect mix of high-low dressing. 

A pleated skirt (we love how it’s paired here with a crew neck jumper) is an apt end of summer piece. 

Black oversized blazer? Floor-skimming polished trousers? We love this look. It’s the puddle hem that makes it ultra-classy.

You won’t regret investing in monochrome stripes – whether you’re dressing for end of summer, or looking for autumn staples.
