MONOCHROME LOOKS

to the understated look

MORE THAN JUST BLACK & WHITE

Contrary to the widespread assumption that monochrome looks only consist of the two non-colours black and white, numerous other neutral colours such as ‘biscotti’ or ‘frappé’ can be added into the mix. The core idea behind monochrome looks is simply that the entire outfit consists of a single colour. To ensure that a monochrome look not only looks interesting but also remains exciting, it is advisable to integrate different colour gradations into the outfits. Light and dark nuances can give the monochrome look additional depth and thus a captivating tension. A vivid example of this is the combination of bright white with a soft grey. In addition, material blends in premium fabrics such as cashmere, silk or cotton can offer an exciting variety of outfit choices. This is because different textures and various haptics not only create different lighting moods and colour reflections, but also different fashion statements that make the style much more versatile. This turns the world of monochrome looks into a rich playground for creative expression and individual style.

UNIFORM COLOURS, TIMELESS EFFECT

Monochrome looks are usually characterised by the use of a single colour, which can, however, appear in different nuances or shades. The use of monochrome colours and looks creates a balancing and relaxing effect on the onlooker, whereby a focus of calm is offered to the eye at the same time. This aesthetic represents a clear and timeless colour style that transcends trends and fashions and can be effortlessly combined. Monochrome looks are often accompanied by accessories in a variety of colours and patterns, which lend additional dynamics to the overall look.

Famous monochrome outfits throughout history


Monochrome looks have dominated art and fashion for centuries. For many decades, black and white photographs by famous fashion photographers were kept in black and white, creating an elegant, timeless style that kept the focus on motifs, shapes and objects. You could say the focus was reduced to the essentials. But monochrome looks are also a convincing example of elegant timelessness in fashion. Jackie Kennedy's pillbox looks from the 1960s are a famous example. Wrapped in delicate pastel shades, the tone-on-tone style created effortless elegance even back then.

4 Reasons to Invest in
Monochrome Looks

1.

Outfits that can be combined in a variety of ways prove to be timeless and sustainable. Monochrome garments form the perfect basis for countless styling variations and can be seen as a creative canvas that can be individually complemented and designed. With this understated character, it is hard to get tired of monochrome looks. As a result, they remain long-term wardrobe staples.

2.

Dressed for any occasion and any weather: Thanks to their universal and minimalist properties, monochrome looks can be turned into exciting layering. Different textures in fabrics such as cashmere, silk, merino wool or cotton create an exciting change of texture when layered.

3.

Monochrome looks make life a little easier. Monochrome looks often simplify the decision-making process, make online shopping easier and prevent incorrect purchases and returns. A practical side effect that has a positive impact on the environment (due to fewer shipments).

4.

Great results with little effort: Outfit decisions or combination options are often not so easy. Which colour harmonises with which tone? Which pattern is suitable for which shade? These are all questions that don't arise with monochrome looks. After all, monochrome looks already look complete, elegant and well thought-out - without any elaborate styling experiments.

Which Colour Looks Good on Whom?

TIPS FOR THE IDEAL SHADE

Choosing the perfect colour can sometimes be a challenge. A helpful guideline is to consider your skin tone and hair colour. Skin pigments can be roughly divided into yellow and blue components. People with a yellowish undertone or complexion tend to gravitate towards warm colours, while cooler colours often go better with bluish complexions. This rule can also be applied to hair colour: Cooler colours suit cool hair tones better, while warm colours accentuate warm hair colours. A simple and easy-to-remember recommendation that is straightforward to use in everyday life.
