The power of monochrome: Creating a stylish canvas

Aesthetically pleasing, classic and automatically chic, a monochrome look gives any outfit that pulled-together, polished look. Each piece has its chance to shine, but working together they create a sharp, stylish silhouette. The magic lies in the layering of textures and shades (from black to white -think of an artist’s charcoal sketches), creating a multi-dimensional look that plays with light and shadow.

Combine floaty fabrics or chunky knits with glossy leather; or mix casual, relaxed pieces with something smartly tailored. Make a statement with stripes. And don’t forget that silver is a shade of grey so you can use it to great effect in accessories or an item of clothing.
