“You’ll see I wear only grey or blue suits. I’m trying to pare down decisions. I don’t want to make decisions about what I’m eating or wearing. Because I have too many other decisions to make.”

If you had to guess what the “uniform” for success looked like, what would it be?
So a monochromatic wardrobe is synonymous with the style of success. But why?
“Simply put, by stressing over things like what to eat or wear every day, people become less efficient at work.
This is all related to the concept of decision fatigue, a real psychological condition in which a person’s productivity suffers as a result of becoming mentally exhausted from making so many irrelevant decisions.”
Introducing the capsule wardrobe, a collection of a few essential items of clothing that don't go out of fashion, such as skirts, trousers, and coats, which can then be augmented with seasonal pieces (Wikipedia). Basically, it's a smart library of functional clothes that you love.
“A capsule wardrobe represents more time and energy for what really matter.”
While having a fuss-free monochromatic wardrobe is apparently a habit successful people have, it doesn't just revolve around white shirts, grey suits or wearing the same thing every day.
In fact, a trendy monochromatic dressing can be timeless if you choose the colours or shades that look good on you. Consider this your signature style.
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”
The French say faites simple. Keep it simple. No need to over-accessorise, overthink or overdo. When all you have on is a plain white dress, the temptation to "dress it up" is unavoidable. Like a blank canvas that's waiting to be painted on, outfits like these are great for every woman's wardrobe because they are not only timeless and versatile but they also give us room to personalise and make it truly exclusive to our individual style. Glam it up, dress it down, layer it on for cooler nights - the options are endless.
Nevertheless, while expressing our personality and making a statement with every new accessory piled on, it also helps to remember that sometimes, less is best. Balance the boldness of a solid coloured fitted dress with the innocence of minimalism to let your personality shine. Accessorise with the best curve on your body - your smile.
Have a beautiful day ahead gorgeous girls! Mwah!
