Monochrome: The style of a timeless gent

Gucci Fall-Winter

Often we are caught in the whirlwind of colors. We see every color in different shades in the runway and keep up with the fashion of the high street.

From muted orange on graphic shirts, vampy red on slip-ons, a salmon pink on button downs, we see the rise of color from domestic activities of going to the supermarket for that shave and on casual road trip dates to a classier gathering and work-related events. Each are dominated of colors or mixed-and-match with different shades depending on the current fashion trend.

While we see the domination of pastels, bright colors, and graphic and printed trends that can catch an eye in an instant, it will be sartorially wrong to forget the other palettes particularly the monochrome.

With the revolution of ideas loosening the rope on boundaries between men’s and women’s clothing, we see a legion of lads from your day to day Joe to crisp button-up wearing businessman embracing the colorful palettes and stepping out of their navy-dominated bubble. It calls for popping open some champagne; yet let’s not forget inviting some of our monochrome buddies.

It is never out of the runway and on the style to keep for the year. That’s what monochrome is. While fashion designers prove to us that they have a lot of ideas and knows how to play with colors to keep the fashion alive, this black and white non-color stood shoulder to shoulder with them all. It has come to battle time and witnessed the ever-present color supremacy.

While we see black and white sitting out the proverbial war, we can always rely on black and white. They are consistent, timeless, and simple. The benefit of monochrome is that it reduces the risk of pairing what color with what. You only have two colors on hand and black and white is known not only a perfect complement for each other, but for other colors too making styling easier.

Monochrome is also a palette of any season. It can easily glide with the season, complementing the muted colors of fall as the sun starts to hide in the clouds. We see mid-market brands to high-end labels making their own statement with monochrome. From an all-white and all-black ensemble to black-and-white outfit, you have something to choose from. However, some are not capable of pulling the all-white/all-black look, so you would not be blamed if you cut those with white or black cuffing. You can also add a bit of gray or a bit of navy.

Of all the events you have laid out in your yearly calendar, monochrome is best suited for formal events where suit and ties are a requirement. While colored suits we see on a runway shouts for attention, going for monochrome fashion will have you silently standing out. The look will forever remain slick and classy. However, it does not mean you can’t wear monochrome on weekends. A classic white shirt and dark pants tandem? There’s always something beautiful with simplicity.

The current hottest label holding the flag of monochrome regime is Public School. They recently broke the surface of being renowned label due to their sharp and cool monochromatic style. Their propaganda is about minimalist style in the form of monochromes perfect for everyday wear – simple yet stylish.
