Minimalism will forever be a fashion favourite, so it's no surprise that the monochrome trend has swept the fashion stakes once again for S/S '13. Balancing a very simplistic palette, based on the black & white craze, monochrome is being shown everywhere from catwalks to sidewalks this year.
It's possibly one of the easiest trends to pull off in my opinion, so ladies, you can all breathe a sigh of relief! Between stripes, graphic prints and of course, colour blocking,
this trend ticks all the boxes. What I adore about this style is that is can easily be transformed from office-chic to nightclub-ready in a matter of a few small changes.
Dating back to the 60s, the monochrome trend was born and brought to life by the iconic, Twiggy. It was at this time the monochrome-era had begun.
For a day-time look that you want to wear in the office, I would choose a print top with black skinnies or cigarette trousers (my new fav) It's simple, on-trend and when you're waking up at 7am, it's extremely easy to throw on! Pair it with a statement leather handbag/satchel and a pair of pointed courts and you're on you're way to being the office bombshell!

This trend is great to play around with, so if you're looking for something more fun, maybe something you want to hit the tiles in, then I suggest you mix it up with a bit of colour blocking. As much as I love the trend, it can become a little monotonous. So add a little colour into the mix! If you're working your wet-look, leather leggings with a black mesh top, shake it up by adding a pop of colour either through your shoes, a clutch or you're jewellery (just not all three, or else you'll look like Sesame Street threw up on you!) If you want it to be a bit more under-stated, I would go for a pair of white sandals and maybe a neon yellow/ orange clutch for an ultra chic look.
