With the exception of head-to-toe black, sporting all one color can be a bit scary or out there. Going monochromatic definitely makes a statement, but it’s one of those things that if you choose the wrong pieces, especially the wrong shoes, the whole look can go south.

Olivia Palermo tackles the trend expertly here in all white, completing the ensemble with Roger Vivier slip on sneakers with a bejeweled Pilgrim buckle. Other celebs like Rita Ora, Dakota Johnson and Gwyneth Paltrow have also sported the monochromatic look.

Michael Kors debuted monochromatic looks in his fall ’17 collection, showing New York Fashion Week how to do the trend right. The designer stuck with easy-to-wear shades however  —  lots of camel, grey, black, burgundy and olive green.

But for spring ’17 why not try wearing all pastel pink like the look below featuring Valentino rockstud sandals? Moreover, get a little crazy and slip into an entirely orange getup.

While the below Gianvito Rossi slides are a different shade of orange than this Stella McCartney mini dress, rocking the monochromatic trend isn’t all about matching your colors perfectly, it’s about confidence.
