Style icons in the 21st century love to be the loudest, brightest, and most in your face. A dress made out of meat or a giant pink ball gown is clearly not everyone’s cup of tea, and not necessary to be the center of attention.

Monochromatic fashion is simple yet eye catching when styled correctly. These five stars know how to make the “bland” color palette into something fun and trendy. 

1. Kylie Jenner

This probably doesn’t come as a surprise to most people. Jenner is able to showcase her simple yet trendy style through monochromatic fashion.

From her casual airport looks to her event looks, Jenner is always on trend with her outfits. Many people try to recreate her looks, especially the streetwear style, which is often Yeezy inspired. Her matching sets are often paired with either heels or sneakers which completely transform her look.

2. Kanye West

West’s brand stirred up a lot of controversy, with his clothing and style often viewed as boring, plain and “homeless-looking.”

The simplicity and color scheme of West’s style is very on trend, and his brand is credited as starting the trend that is popular in streetwear and with instagram influencers today. West’s streetwear looks incorporate a gray, beige, and navy color palette.

3. Jaden Smith

Fun, fresh, and trendy.

Jaden Smith is a popular fashion icon to many young adults and teens today. His streetwear style often incorporates these monochromatic themes, sometimes adding pops here and there.

His fashion style is very similar to that of Kanye West, however he does incorporate jeans or accent colors in his fashion. 

Smith is also huge in gender-bending fashion. He often wears women’s clothing, including skirts and dresses, which adds to his trendy and forward look.

4. Zendaya 

Zendaya is one of the most popular figures in the entertainment industry, and has major influence with her work.

Her style varies dramatically between the carpet and everyday life. Her streetwear is on trend, while being comfy and fun.

She has been seen wearing matching jogger and hoodie sets, classic jeans and t-shirt combos, and other looks which are achievable by anyone.

5. Kendrick Lamar

Rapper Kendrick Lamar is the epitome of monochromatic street fashion.

His outfit choices, whether for concerts and events, or just walking through the streets of LA, are extremely trendy and focus on items such as hoodies and joggers paired with matching sneakers. Lamar’s style is very easy to recreate and is the typical look of everyday streetwear.
