Adiós Florals! Black and White Monochrome is Summer’s Hottest Look

Adiós florals! Black and white monochrome is summer’s hottest look

With summer in full force, floral print is having a major fashion moment. While we love a proper dose of floral, we are gearing up for a monochromatic summer! Think clean lines, sharp tailoring and neutral tones.

One of the (many) reasons we are so fond of monochrome, is that even the simplest pieces create a polished look and we can’t help but gravitate towards monochrome styling for the office. Do you love a perfectly tailored dress as much as we do? The Gingham Dress from North Republic is a must-have piece that not only has unique detailing along the neckline, but is also cinched at the waist, making it flattering for almost any body shape.

If a monochromatic print isn’t your cup of tea, look out for dresses in either plain white or black. When on the hunt for the perfect monochrome dress, remember, tailoring is key! With no pattern to distract the eye, you want a dress that fits and flatters in all the right places.

Fancy a laid back look that incorporates the best of sport luxe and monochrome? We suggest pairing slim fit trousers or leggings with a slightly loose fitting top and white sneakers. The ultimate take on the monochromatic look is all about balancing out your outfit; so if you are wearing black trousers and black shoes, opt for a white top to prevent an all-black look.

If you’re looking for a statement piece that can be styled for every occasion, then you’ll want to invest in the fringe skirt. Gorgeous, feminine and versatile.

Add a touch of flair to your office wardrobe, by swapping out your pencil skirt for a black fringe skirt. Looking to spice up a date outfit, why not pair a fringe skirt with a graphic tee and your favourite monochrome flats?

So, stand out this summer season with minimalist pieces for a knockout ensemble.
