How to Wear : Monochrome Like Rosie
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is one of the few modern style icons who regularly wears all black and manages to always look impossibly chic when she does it. She never looks weighed down, maintains a crisp overall appearance whether it’s day or night, and frankly the color suits her no matter how well she pulls off practically every other shade of the color wheel.
