Style File: Monochromatic

With spring quickly approaching, it’s time to put aside the winter neutrals and break out the bright hues! Instead of accentuating your look with just a little P.O.C., try out fashion’s sticking monochromatic trend. While this look has always been a fixture on the runway in neutrals like black, grey and white, this spring designers are taking it a shade brighter with an array of vivid tones. Try out the look by pairing cobalt blue jeans with a sky blue top and a dark blue leather bag for a fashion forward ensemble!
