Boston & Chase: Monochromatic

Monochrome.
In art, this merely means using shades of the same colour.
So is black then, just a very dark shade of white? Who knows!
We've all heard at one time or another that orange is the new black, green is the new orange and stripes are the new green, and so the trends continue. But the monochrome trend makes sense. It takes our focus back to our roots, back to the simple, sophisticated shades that have, and always will, ooze class and style.

All things monochromatic have emerged over the last few months taking fashionistas back to simple, sophisticated pairings of black & white, all white or all black. The clean, stark juxtaposition of two contrasting shades is as eye catching as things in a fluorescent palate, but without looking tacky! While all white is like a breath of fresh air. And all black manages to be formless, it can be grungy & moody, sporty or sleek & professional.
I believe that there is nothing better than a fresh, breezy, white shirt over figure-hugging leather pants for a simple, punchy combo - paired perhaps with leopard print loafers and a Celine tote. Unstated and elegant.

Keep an eye on Christopher Esber, Dannika Zen, Dion Lee, Alexander Wang and Winston Wolfe who are all doing stunning things in monochrome.
My advice... stock up! This trend is classic, and is sure to stick around. A simple, well fitting white Bassike tee is a worthwhile purchase. As is Balmain leather, preferably pants. But we may all need to save our pennies for those ones. Maybe one day!
