The Style School Edit: Tonal Dressing 3 Ways

June 18, 2019 in EXPERT ADVICE, TRENDS

Most of my clients come to me seeking to build a versatile wardrobe that can take them from the office to a work event or dinner with ease. Many are entrepreneurs or small business owners who split their time working from a home office, meeting clients and sometimes travelling for work.

Some may no longer work in a corporate environment but it’s important that their style reflects they way want to be perceived in business - as one of my client put it “ I want to look like the CEO and not the coffee girl”.

Dressing tonally is a great way to keep your look simple but still elevated.

Here are my top tips for perfecting a tonal look:

  • Dress monochromatic - wear one colour all over it is a fantastic way to make you look taller. Clothing with details at the narrowest part of the waist like a belted jumpsuit , is great to give the illusion of longer legs.

  • Layer - Layer varying shades of one colour or similar tones.

  • Accessorise - With flashes of neon and touches of metallic. It really sets off this way of dressing.

For more ideas on how to dress tonally you can watch my IGTV Saturday Style School Episode HERE
