Total look what does it mean?
The most popular definition is that it is a single-color styling, but this term also refers to material textures (e.g. jeans total look ), patterns (e.g. checked total look ), or styles (e.g. vintage total look ).
Monochromatic outfits are not only easier to style, but also very stylish and effective. This is evidenced by the fact that total looks are often chosen by fashionistas and celebrities on the red carpet . We often see many style icons, such as Leonie Hanne , Victoria Beckham, and Duchess Kate, wearing monochromatic outfits.
When to choose monochromatic styling?
Following in the footsteps of celebrities, opt for total looks (e.g., with a suit as the main character) for formal occasions, and your outfit will surely receive numerous compliments. Thanks to the unified color palette, even sporty outfits take on a more elegant and unique character, making total looks suitable for everyday wear as well. A fully patterned look, on the other hand, is perfect when you need to let your imagination run wild and, despite the old rules against mixing patterns, want to let your imagination run wild.

To avoid a single-color look being just a splash of color, vary the textures of the materials (e.g., knitwear, satin, leather) and the shades of the main color (it's important that they aren't extreme shades, such as dull green and pistachio, as this combination doesn't look good and creates a stark contrast, disrupting the entire monochromatic look). Accessories also play an important role in total looks , as they complement them and anchor a specific style. Don't be afraid of gold or silver accessories, even though they won't be the same color as the rest of the outfit; even a small addition, such as jewelry, will add a touch of chic and elegance.
The total look is a ready-made solution for any occasion. Thanks to the cohesive style, such outfits look incredibly stylish and elegant. If you're not convinced by monochromatic looks, you can start with more subdued colors and shades, such as black, brown, or gray. You're sure to fall in love with these simple yet effective styles!
