Ways to wear: monochrome
Clueless about monochrome? Take a page out of Cher Horowitz’s book and make it preppy. Give these chic shades the collegiate treatment starting with matching sets, bold checks and all the extra details that make an outfit shine. Black and white doesn’t have to be boring, in fact, it can be really fun! Think outside the box: play with textures & print, fresh silhouettes and the latest trends to bring mono back in the game. Currently, we’re wearing it like this ...
Matchy matchy
What’s black, white and powerful? You in this matching set. Double up this classic colour combo with a monochrome two piece that demands attention. Checks always command a room but in black and white? They’re unstoppable. Chunky boots and hoop earrings toughen up this collegiate two piece and stop the ‘fit looking too preppy. Think Blair Waldorf brunching at the weekend rather than bored in math class. The beauty of a set is it does most of the hard work for you and with this tailored mono number, all you have to decide is whether to dress it up or down.
Knit girl
The return of Gossip Girl has reignited our long forgotten love of prep. Be a little more Blair in a high society black and white piped cardigan and upper-east side houndstooth pumps. Up your monochrome game in elite looks that are classy but tick all those comfort boxes too. Showcase your family jewels with the deep V neckline and choose your smallest, most impractical bag in a brighter than bright colour for added fun. If heels are still a no-go, swap them out for comfier kicks that let you go from plan A to plan B with queen bee ease.
Layer up
Mix and match textures, colours and prints to make your black and white pieces pop! Layer up turtleneck tops over monochrome houndstooth gilets and light wash blue denim for a look everyone will love. We’re forever obsessed with a contrasting colour palette and black and white shades are our ultimate colour combination. For an everyday casual vibe, reach for your trusty denim jeans that perfectly pair with mono tones and head out, looking iconically effortless.
