Monochrome is an easy palette to use for dressing since you can get ready quickly without worrying about clashing colours or prints. Black and white are wardrobe staples and a stylish look anyone can wear.

The simplicity of black is always a winner when putting together an outfit, but it can look as gloomy as the rainy weather in the colder months. Sometimes I like to accessorise with gold pieces to warm it up but the contrast of sleek silver can create a cool, tough edge. Liquid metal hardware used as accents on clothes and bags topped with shiny steel jewellery creates a classic yet modern combination.
