Actress Zoe Saldana embraced the look with a silver Antonio Berardi pantsuit. She paired the printed trousers with white pumps to keep things youthful, and far from gubernatorial. In the heat of summer, Kate Bosworth opted for a shortsuit, tempering a glitzy peach oxford with blush scalloped shorts from Chloe and an alabaster purse. Notice how both actresses anchored their looks with white accessories and kept the jewelry to a minimum, since their fabrics were flashy enough.
Street-style star Miroslava Duma took advantage of monochrome to play with layers and proportions. At Paris Fashion Week last spring, she mixed a complicated A.W.A.K.E. coat with serious accoutrements, a bold move that was moored by the simplicity of a single flattering hue. French blogger and illustrator Garance Dore similarly exhibited a mastery of color. Her white pants and shirt (worn in the chill of fall at Louis Vuitton's fashion show) perfectly offset a killer jacket worn oh-so-nonchalantly on her shoulders.
Wearing a single color does not have to be boring—on the contrary, it can give you the freedom to play with proportion, fabrics, and cuts. Or, like Dore, you can simply use it as an excuse to frame that one favorite item in your closet.
