Easy Tips to Style a Monochrome Look That Stands Out

When it comes to timeless elegance and effortless sophistication, nothing quite matches the power of a monochrome outfit. If you know how to style in black and white, you can quickly make your look better, whether you're going to a wedding, a summer party or a dinner date. If our customers want to follow the one-color trend, we've made it easier than ever by giving them unique styles that mix simple colours with interesting features.

Here are our best tips for styling monochrome dresses that make a statement, from the dramatic Goddiva Sleeveless Mermaid Hem Monochrome Contrast Maxi Dress to the fun Bow Off The Shoulder A Line Midi Dress.

1. Play with Silhouettes

Black and white is beautiful because it is simple, so let the style of your outfit speak for itself. Choose dresses that are structured and accentuate your curves. The Contrast Halter Neck Pleated A-Line Midaxi Dress in black cream brings just the right amount of drama with its defined waist and flowing skirt, perfect for swishing through any event with style.

2. Make Details the Star

When your colour palette is minimal, details matter more than ever. You can easily add dimension to your design by including bows, pleats and asymmetric cuts. The Goddiva One Shoulder Contrast Bow Maxi Dress is a great example of how a streamlined design can be elevated to a high fashion level with the use of a strong bow element.

3. Go Bold with Prints

Monochrome doesn’t mean plain. Prints like stripes, polka dots or houndstooth add visual interest while keeping things chic. This is really shown by the Liquorish Vertical Black and White Striped Knitted Midi Dress. This dress is a great example since its vertical lines stretch the body, making it a fashionable option that is appropriate for both daytime and nighttime wear.

4. Accessories That Pop

With black and white as your base, accessories can add just the right pop of personality. It is possible to elevate your style without making it appear overpowering by selecting metallic accents, a strong red lip or even colour-blocked heels. Layered jewellery or a bold clutch also look great.

5. Embrace Texture

Mixing textures can make your monochrome outfit feel luxurious and layered. Keep an eye out for fabrics that contrast with one another, such as satin against chiffon or ribbed knits being matched with silky crepe. The Bow Off The Shoulder A Line Midi Dress in black cream combines softness and structure beautifully, making it ideal for weddings or formal gatherings.

You don't have to think of monochrome fashion as boring or stable. In fact, it could be the most important thing you buy for your closet. With Goddiva’s black and cream collection, you can explore this classic trend through fresh designs that are anything but ordinary. With their bold shapes and fun details, these black and white pieces show that less really is more when it comes to fashion.
