5 monochrome looks to try out this autumn

Popping colour combinations may have been in vogue for some time, but classic monochrome looks are still a sure bet for autumn outfits. White, beige, black, grey and chocolate… Layering and textures make these silhouettes easy to wear. Here’s a look back at some of the most beautiful monochrome looks, and a shopping selection to help you adopt the trend this autumn.

The white monochrome look

Long reserved for summer, white has become an all-season essential in recent years. While the total look was discreet this autumn/winter, more and more immaculate silhouettes are appearing in street style. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wore it with elegance in a blazer dress, with leather pumps and a clutch.

The monochrome beige look

Beige offers a genuine alternative to immaculate looks, perfectly in tune with the quiet luxury trend. A fan of colour combinations, Elsa Hosk also reveals many monochrome looks. On Instagram, the model opted this time for beige, in a look consisting of a top and a long wool skirt under a jacket with a high collar. For accessories, she chose loafers and a bag in the same tone.

The monochrome black look

Unquestionably the most timeless of all shades, black remains a wardrobe classic. This autumn, it’s no exception, in a total look. During a Parisian getaway, Hailey Bieber wore a dark silhouette with a little black dress, oversized leather jacket and pointed pumps. The ultimate fashion detail: polka-dot tights.
