How to create a monochrome outfit

To create a monochromatic look, first choose a base color. A typical monochromatic style is based on black and white, but other neutral colors like gray, navy, and beige are also acceptable.

Combine tops, bottoms, outerwear, accessories, and other items according to the base color you have chosen. The key is to keep the whole outfit in the same color tone. For example, if you are wearing all black, combine black tops and bottoms, and unify your outerwear and shoes in black as well.

In a monotone outfit, you can create a three-dimensional effect or accent with one color by skillfully using different materials and textures. You can also add a point to your outfit by using accessories, shoes, bags, and other small items.

1. Mesh tops

Mesh tops are tops made of sheer material and are an item that gives a sexy and stylish impression. There are several approaches to styling mesh tops, so here are some ideas.

Layered Style: Wear a mesh top as an inner layer and pair it with an outer layer such as a jacket or cardigan. Because it is see-through, the color and design of the inner layer can be seen, creating a stylish layered effect.

Combining with a bra top: Wearing a bra top over a mesh top can create a sexy and edgy look. By choosing the right color and design for your bra top, you can create a perfect match with the mesh top.

Contrast with patterns and prints: You can create contrast by pairing your mesh top with a patterned or printed item. Vibrant prints, like floral or animal prints, go well with the cool look of a mesh top.

How to incorporate it into a casual style: By combining a mesh top with casual bottoms such as denim and shorts, you can enjoy a casual style that tones down the edgy impression of the mesh top.

The key point is to find a balance while still taking advantage of the see-through nature of the mesh top. If you are concerned about exposing your skin, you can wear a camisole or tank top underneath to suit your individual comfort level.

It all depends on what style you like, so experiment with different styles to suit your own personality and taste. Happy styling!

2. Shoulder pad tops

Shoulder pad tops are tops with padding on the shoulders that accentuate the shoulder line. This trend was influenced by the fashion of the 1980s and creates a strong and well-defined silhouette.

When styling shoulder pad tops, it is good to keep the following points in mind:

Consider balance: Shoulder pads tend to add volume to the upper body, so choosing bottoms with a clean silhouette will help you create a balanced look. For example, tapered pants or slim skirts are recommended.
Go retro: Shoulder pad tops have a retro '80s vibe, so you can style them to your liking by pairing them with items that evoke those trends, like high-waisted jeans, leggings, or asymmetrical skirts, for an even more retro look.
Play with layered styles: Shoulder pad tops are also suitable for layering with inner and outerwear. By putting on a jacket or cardigan, you can create a more three-dimensional look and expand your styling options.
Choosing accessories: Depending on the design of the shoulder pad top, the neck may be tight, so it is easier to balance the look by choosing simple accessories around the neck or a long necklace.

Shoulder pad tops are an item that can create a strong and unique style. Try incorporating them well according to your body type and preferences. Have fun with fashion!

3. Classic one-piece style
