In the world of fashion, you might think that the more extravagant the look, the more stylish you look. However, we'd like to point out that this isn't always the case. Sometimes, the simplest looks can be the most striking and interesting. So, here, we're going to show you that sticking to one hue is better at making a statement over donning a multi-toned ensemble.

Don't be afraid to mix textures! It adds complexity on a different level as it breaks up the monotone color and at the same time adds dimension to your look.

If you want to don your favorite bright color, you may want to wear items with hues in its neutral spectrum. That way, it's less gaudy. For example, go for mustard instead of wearing head to toe canary yellow.
