monochrome outfit

One-color clothing look

A monochrome outfit uses a single color throughout—shirt, pants, shoes, accessories all in black, or all in beige, or all in navy.

The look can be striking or understated depending on the color chosen.

Strictly speaking, monochrome means one hue, though variations in shade and texture within that color still qualify: She wore a monochrome outfit in different shades of green.
