One-color coordination can enhance the sense of style in your outfit, but because it is made up of only one color, it can be difficult to create a three-dimensional effect or it can end up looking plain. In this article, we will introduce tips for successful one-color coordination and examples of color coordination from overseas snaps where fashion wise people gather.
What is the difference between "one tone" and "one color"?
"One-tone" and "one-color" outfits are often confused. First, let's review the difference between them. "One-tone" refers to an outfit that uses a unified color scheme, such as pastel or vivid tones, so it is not limited to one color. On the other hand, "one-color" is, as the name suggests, an outfit that uses one color from top to bottom . Unlike one-tone, one of its features is the use of shades within the same color.
What are the tips for one-color coordination?
By following the three points below, you can create a three-dimensional effect even with one color.
[1] Avoid monotony by adding shades of color
One-color looks can sometimes give a dull impression, but by adding shades of the color, such as lighter and darker, you can avoid the monotony and create a three-dimensional look.
(2) Combining different materials prevents flatness
In addition to adding shades of color, combining different materials, such as leather and knit, creates character and prevents the item from looking dull.
[3] Add contrast with colorful accessories
Of course, it's OK to use accessories to add a pop of color. Using accessories as subtle accents will help create a well-balanced outfit.
White for a gorgeous look
From here, we will introduce one-color coordination by color. If you put together "white", the bright color will give you a bright and gorgeous impression. We will explain the technique of wearing it so that it does not look flat.
Add some variety to the colors and silhouettes
The loose-fitting top with off-the-shoulder turtleneck and drop shoulders is paired with Sabrina pants to create a well-defined silhouette. The cream white and bright white add a touch of color variation to prevent the look from becoming monotonous. The exposed skin below the knees also contributes to the definition.
Enhance your elegance with a skirt made of shiny material
Wear all white effortlessly with a moderate amount of room in both the top and bottom. Add a skirt made of glossy satin to add dimension and elegance. Wearing a skirt low-rise is also a stylish technique!
Layer a coat over a jacket to create depth
Layering a cream white coat over a neat white suit creates depth and rhythm in a single color. The fluffy fur bag blends in with the soft white and is held like a clutch, showcasing an urban mood.
"Gray" will give you a stylish look
All black and all white are familiar, but we also recommend a one-color coordination in gray, which is in between the two. Since it is an inorganic color, you can enjoy a stylish look.
A feminine combination that gives a dry finish
A soft, brushed knit pullover and narrow skirt create a feminine look, but with a gray gradation, it exudes a slightly dry, mature feel. Create a clear contrast between very light and dark gray for a simple outfit.
Sharp contrast with light and dark colors and different materials
A pale gray knit pullover is sandwiched between a dark gray scarf and pants for a rhythmic look. The addition of supple leather material adds a touch of modernity. The color combination is sophisticated, so a pale blue bag and white pumps add a sense of familiarity.
The grey color scheme enhances the cool look
The cool look of a blouson jacket and loose slacks is unified in gray, giving it a cool feel. This look also uses a mix of different materials, nylon and knit, to great effect. Black accessories and gold earrings add a touch of shine and accent.
"Black" for a sharp and chic look
The most typical color for one-color coordination is "black." Since it is a color that cannot be shaded, if you use materials and patterns well, it will not look dull.
Gorgeous with the shine of satin and leather
The all-black outfit is accented with a satin top and leather accessories for a glossy, glamorous look. The camisole also shows off the décolletage and arms, so the bare skin itself acts as a contrast.
Lead the way to fashion with eye-catching leather items
The all-black outfit is impactful, with a flared shirt and wide leather items. The boots have an embossed design, which gives the look a three-dimensional feel.
Tie your skirt to long boots for a modern look
The reason why this simple dress in one color looks so picturesque is because the skirt hem is connected to long boots, creating a modern balance for the feet. Furthermore, the crinkled details of the boots prevent the outfit from looking tedious.
Checkered pattern prevents flatness
A simple black top and bottom set is enhanced with a cable knit. Adding a checked outerwear pattern makes it look even more lively. The white long T-shirt and sneakers, which pick up the color of the checked pattern, create a good balance.

Deep green exudes a mature charm
Selecting a deep shade of green, such as a khaki top, a moss green coat, and a dark green leather skirt, will bring out your mature charm. For accessories, we recommend black, which blends well with the dark green.
"Yellow" gives a lively look
Even a single piece of yellow has a strong presence, but using it as a single color can make your outfit more lively. If you choose a pale or dull tone, it won't look too eccentric and it's easy to try.
Soft pastel tones give off an innocent aura
The simple one-two of the fluffy knit pullover and pants is a very pale yellow, leading to a gorgeous outfit without being flashy. The simple white sneakers are added to support the softness of the yellow.
Fit and flare with yellow for a fresh look
