Flattering Outfit Formulas | Black and White Monochromatic Capsule Wardrobes

The first styling tip I share with new clients is a matching top and bottom from a monochromatic capsule wardrobe. If you have a hard time making outfits try the magic of matching your top and bottom. Monochromatic capsule wardrobes are a styling shortcut to putting together outfits that never fail to look good but don’t require a degree in fashion, or the perfect figure. If you want to look effortlessly put together it’s really black and white.
