monochromatic

 

For Spring 2014, the black and white trend is bold and never boring. Not only can you incorporate your wardrobe basics, but you can build off them by adding prints and colours as the season progresses. Here are three different ways to wear this trend this spring:

Image

1. Go from Head to Toe

Wearing black and white from head to toe looks sharp. If you want a monochromatic look, differentiate between garments by playing with textures. Or, add one piece in the contrasting colour to create some visual interest.

2. Add a Pop of Colour 

Whether it’s your shoes or your cardi, adding a brightly hued item will change the whole look. Not only will your outfit highlight the bright colour, but it makes the black and white combo more defined.

3. Play with Prints 

This season, stripes and polka dots can be mixed and matched for a playful look full of personality. Whatever your comfort level, playing with prints is easy when mixing patterns in black and white.

 

We got lots of black and white styles in stores for spring.  How do you plan on wearing this trend?

The monochromatic look (head-to-toe in shades of the same colour) has been a huge trend over the past year. Don't believe me? Check out these celebs owning their monochromatic look.

But how can you take this striking style into the fast-approaching holiday season? - it is upon us, people. Plum's Christmas party is in just ten days! For a look that is on-trend and appropriately festive, I suggest taking silver for a test drive (although these tips work equally well no matter what your colour of preference is).

They key to mastering this style is to look for items in varying shades and textures that complement each other without being over the top matchy. Then, add accessories that work well with this particular look, but can also be paired with the rest of your holiday or formal ensembles. A silver clutch or pair of earrings, for example, will pair well with juuuust about anything. Which is why they make great gifts if you're treating any special women in your life this season.

Finally, polish off your look with a pop of colour on the lips. I like this rich burgundy colour, but feel free to give silver a whirl if you're particularly daring ;) Our stylist mimicked this oxblood shade in a pair of pumps to tie the outfit all together.
