An exercise in style, the monochrome look is synonymous with elegance. To begin with, it’s best to focus on basic, neutral colors rather than bright hues. Beige, white, brown and, above all, black. While the immaculate look remains a true fashion exercise, the all-black option is synonymous with absolute chic.

Combine a black suitwith a vest, shirt and black tie for a pure, elegant monochrome look. Black has the advantage of slimming the silhouette. As smart as ever, but more casual, the black roll-neck sweateralso works well with a suit.

Whatever the color, we advise you to add variations and nuances: it’s the secret of a legible outfit. Shade variations: the same color can be used but lighter or darker.

Variations in materials: this is where the real fun lies! Mix velvet with knitwear(here, a white velvet suit with a white cable-knit sweater), or shine with matte (shirt and tie, for example). Micro-patterns can also be used to add nuance.

Final tip: accessories
Monochrome scarves, hats and caps are the finishing touch to a successful outfit.
