When done right head to toe of the same color can be oh so stylish and will make all your friends terribly impressed that you pulled off this edgy look. Done wrong, risks include looking like a giant piece of candy and/or blockish. In perusing the monochromatic looks from various designers I realized that the way to make this look work on you and for you is to introduce patterns and textures. That is where the fun of this style really comes in. Imagine red silk pants with a chunky knit red sweater. If you can't completely go head to toe, throw in a skinny belt in a different color or a metallic to break it up. If you are ready to take it to the next level, different patterns of the same color on top and bottom can add a new dimension. Imagine a white and black striped top with black and white polka dot pants or something along those lines. The two different patterns in a monochromatic head to toe (I know what I just described is really two colors but who's counting) will be a delightful fashion double trouble look. So remember, play with textures and patterns, use different transparencies to create variation as well as mixing loose with more fitted and the monochromatic trend will be magic not mayhem for your fall wardrobe!
