Be Bold While the very term “monochromatic” lends itself to rather subdued imagery in most of our minds, there is great opportunity within this fall’s hottest fashion trend for exploring daring combinations and creating a truly individualized look.  It’s all about texture, and there really are no boundaries in this area.  When you mix-and-match various textures within a monochromatic ensemble, you create a visually fascinating look.  Similarly, adding a visually stimulating pattern into the mix creates an illusion of texture for an equally eye-catching ensemble. Accessorize, Accessorize, Accessorize Every fashionista knows that no ensemble is complete without the accessories, and this is where this season’s monochromatic style trend gets really fun.  Layered necklaces are an easy way to add visual appeal to monochromatic looks, as is bold statement pendant.  Stackable bracelets are a popular and versatile jewelry trend this fall, and a great way to add multiple elements such as precious metals, wood, leather… again, it’s all about texture, and there are a lot of beautiful ways to incorporate multiple textures into your look with creative fall jewelry. The greatest thing about the monochromatic style trend this fall is that no two looks can be the same.  With unlimited combinations of layered textures and patterns, topped off with your favorite fall jewelry, the look you create is guaranteed to be uniquely your own.
