10 Ways to Wear the Matchy-Match Monochrome Trend Right Now
Long gone are the days when looking matchy-matchy was considered nerdy-nerdy. Anyone who follows the street style circuit knows that minimal, monochromatic ensembles have ruled among the fashion set over the past few years, but like a lot of street style, they weren’t necessarily the kind of looks everyone could get behind.
Luckily for the rest of us, some of our favorite style stars got into the trend this week — and showed us exactly how to try it out at home. Gigi Hadid went the casual route with a matching sweatshirt and shorts, Willow Smith went glam in glittering green, and Zoë Kravitz wore a little black suit. But, of course, they weren't the only ones. Click ahead to see all the best monochromatic looks of the week — and get inspired to try out the trend on your own.
