Everyone has a little bit of white in our wardrobe. Whether its those trendy white crop tops or white denim shorts from American Apparel that makes us resemble a full on AA representative, we all have a little white here and there. Monochromatic outfits have been on trend since last summer and seen worn by major celebs and fashion influencers such as Kylie Jenner, Vanessa Hudgens and, of course, monochromatic queen, Kim Kardashian West.
Balenciaga touched base on the ongoing monochromatic trend in their recent resort 2016 Fashion Show with designer Alexander Wang who filled the collection with “evening dresses with corsetry boning, silk and cotton jacquard peplum jackets, and a synthetic lace skirt peeking from the hem of a double-breasted sleeveless coat looked every inch as precious as they really were.”
The collection was created around the idea of business attire and cocktail party looks, I translated the monochromatic tones of white and the graphics that incorporated white into a street style look that is perfect for a summer day in New York City. To recreate a similar look, I dug out a white crop top and white and black patterned shorts from my closet. As for shoes, the only question I asked myself if what goes with whet so effortlessly? Black! If you are ever stumped on what shoes or accessories to wear to complete you monochromatic outfit, you have two options: in my case, my monochromatic color is white, so white or black because basic fashion rule 101 dictates that black goes with everything!
Get My Look: 1. White crop top. 2. Printed white shorts. 3. Black booties.
