The keys to single-color dressing
When in doubt, go tonal. If you're not sure what to wear or are looking for an adaptable travel wardrobe, or simply want an easy way to look put together without going to too much trouble, a monochromatic fit is your solution. Single-color dressing is pretty much a no-brainer—everything already matches, right?—but in practice, there are some things you may want to consider to look your best. Pick a solitary hue that's already somewhat neutral—grey, olive green or, my personal favorite, navy blue.
Then, dial up the diversity in terms of textures. Here, we've paired some woven trousers with a subtle stripe stitching down the legs with a smooth and sumptuous knit T-shirt from Buck Mason. Top it off with a breezy linen and cotton chore jacket that offers a nice layering effect without feeling hot or heavy. Don't worry about the colors matching perfectly. A little variation is actually welcome when it comes to this solo-color swerve.
