Yet, you will be look like chess board if you will overdress those colors. Let us give you some tips not to look like a waiter and chess board when you wear monochrome.

Polka Dots!!!!




Polka dots became common on clothing in the late nineteenth century in the United Kingdom.The pattern shares its name with the dance form, making one suspect there is a connection linking the pattern to the dance. However, the name was likely settled upon merely because of the dance's popularity at the time the pattern became fashionable, just as many other products and fashions of the era also adopted the polka name.

STRIPES!!!




So what is the truth about stripes? The debate dates back to the 19th century, when German doctor and physicist Hermann von Helmholtz showed that a square made of horizontal stripes appeared to be taller and narrower than an identical square of vertical stripes.




In color psychology, black gives protection from external emotional stress.
It creates a barrier between itself and the outside world, providing comfort while protecting its emotions and feelings, and hiding its vulnerabilities, insecurities and lack of self confidence.

Black is the absorption of all color and the absence of light.

Black hides, while white brings to light.

What black covers, white uncovers.

We all use black at various times to hide from the world around us in one way or another. Some of us use it to hide our weight; others among us use it to hide our feelings, our fears or our insecurities.



White is color at its most complete and pure, the color of perfection. The color meaning of white is purity, innocence, wholeness and completion.
In color psychology white is the color of new beginnings, wiping the slate clean, so to speak. It is the blank canvas waiting to be written upon. While white isn't stimulating to the senses, it opens the way for the creation of anything the mind can conceive.
White contains an equal balance of all the colors of the spectrum, representing both the positive and negative aspects of all colors. Its basic feature is equality, implying fairness and impartiality, neutrality and independence.


Monochrome Street Style


JM : For me, this  style is the most challenging to wear. This is my first time to try this kind of clothes and this is how it looks like. We just really need to try something new for us to know that this look suits you.

You have nothing to worry in wearing monochrome. Just show who you really in wearing it and you’ll never be out of style. Remember “fashion fades style is eternal”-Yves Saint Laurent. Also, we will never forget why we do this blog “Fashion is the science of appearances, and it inspires one with the desire to seem rather than to be.” -Edwin Hubbel Chapin
