If you’re not exactly sure how to keep warm this winter while still looking fashionable and sophisticated, monochromatic styling is the perfect way to put together an effortless ensemble for the holiday season. By wearing separate pieces of all the same color hues, the outfit becomes as much of a statement piece as a flashy pattern or pop of color. By matching sweaters, scarfs, skirts, and coats of all one hue from a winter color palette, there is no doubt you’ll be standing out this season.
Cookies and Creams
If going all white is too bright for you, try out creams and neutrals. An all cream silhouette is a perfect way to appear put together yet cozy for the winter. Plus, you don’t have to worry about appearing too flashy. Creams are great hues for all skin tones, and it is the easiest way to make a comfortable outfit look fashionable.
Hot Chocolates
Recent trends and runways cannot get enough of brown and beige. Whether you're into a light and soft caramel or a deep chocolate brown, there is definitely a hue for you this holiday season. Brown has a habit of being an underappreciated color in fashion, but it is a must have this season to showcase your individuality and style. Regardless of your style, browns will compliment coats, sweaters, turtlenecks, skirts, makeup, and more.
Winter Leaves
One of the biggest hit colors this season is green. In a variety of shades ranging from dark emeralds to lime, green is a color that will surely make you feel confident and chic, and it looks amazing on all shades of skin. Even if green is a new pop of color for you, it is a great addition to your wardrobe and can be incorporated via shoulder bags, dresses, accessories, or nail designs.
White Lights
Need a little cleanse from sweatpants this semester? Well, you’re in luck because this winter, white sleek looks with minimal styling offer a simple and clean aesthetic. Wearing white from head to toe is a great way to not only look trendy, but elegant during the winter time.
