In November, Kendall Jenner caught all our attention with a mirror selfie that showcased a head-to-toe look from The Row’s fall 2020 collection: A black button up tucked neatly into waist-defining belted trousers. Since, the model has been spotted out and about in both New York and Los Angeles in a handful of sophisticated outfits, all of which lean toward a glorious minimalism. A couple of weeks ago, the model stepped out in a pair of tailored chocolate brown trousers from Bevza paired with a similar hued v-neck sweater vest from Maison Margiela. The common styling trick among all her sleek outfits? A devotion to monochrome dressing, particularly in neutrals. The one-color approach is an easy way to channel a minimalist aesthetic, especially when layering several pieces like pleated high-waisted trousers, fine knits, tweedy blazers, and sleek pointed-toe leather boots—in deep browns, camels, creams, and of course, all black.

As of late, Jenner has been keeping to outfits in one neutral shade, sporting garments and accessories that span a range of hues within the same color family. She put a menswear spin on the all-winter-white look when she wore a white shirt jacket layered over a textured knit and a pearly-colored leather underarm bag—the model’s signature.

Wearing all neutrals is easier to do than, say, all neons. Plus, it lends a grown-up sophistication. Mix and match separates, wardrobe staples, and accessories in coordinating hues and play with the assortment of textures. Pair buttery leathers with easygoing corduroy, ribbed knits, and crisp cottons.

Here, 3 ways to master monochrome inspired by Jenner’s newfound love for minimalism.
