Keep reading find out seven tips on how to pull off a one-tone outfit!

One simple way to keep the look sophisticated is to choose tailored pieces like a structured coat, blazer, cigarette pants and shirt dresses.

#2 Varied shades

Unless you have a quirky, crazy style and personality like G-Dragon and Lady Gaga in her meat dress phase, you wouldn't want to wear the exact same shade from head to toe.

To make this trend more wearable, choose pieces with different shades of the same colour for an outfit that doesn't look too matchy-matchy.

#3 Varied textures

Another way to make this trend more wearable is to contrast different textures of the same colour like leather and tulle or chiffon and suede.

#4 Go neutral

If a colourful look like an all-pink or all-blue ensemble is too tricky, start with neutrals like cream, brown, grey and white. Even if you're dressed completely in only one of these neutral shades, it will still look subtle and casual.

#5 Add a contrasting colour

While a single-tone outfit can make a cool statement, too much of a bright colour can look overwhelming. To avoid this, add some white or black to your outfit!

For a more statement look, choose another complementary colour like burnt orange shoes with an all-blue outfit.

#6 Patterns

Wearing a patterned or textured piece will help break up the one-outfit if you want to keep it more subtle.
