4 Key, Monochrome Pieces You Need to Have – According To Our ellesse Style Manuscript

Over time fashion trends come and go. The 70’s was all about freedom, love and what we’ve come to call Hippie’s. Enter the mid 80’s aggressive, anti-establishment punk style of Grunge. And although we can identify each trend, one fashion assemblage that graces each trend is that of the monochrome get-up. Some wearers add multiple layers of varied textures – all of one-color. This adds both depth and dimension to their outfit. Although in dressing the monochrome way, the wearer still gets to highlight or downplay the effect or certain parts of their body.

Since the 1800’s from photography to fashion monochrome has been associated with sophistication and class. Monochrome has always been associated with shades of black, white and grey. Fashion then went on to describe monochrome as different shades on any colour – being a collective. There is no doubt that colour can send many messages depending on the day, time, season or simply, the shifting culture. Believe it or not, monochrome does not say nothing but rather everything in the way you dress, favourites still being the classic black or white blank canvas.
