Monochrome men's looks: good reasons in favour

The monochrome look is a way to reinterpret your wardrobe and takes styling decisions off your hands. Once you've chosen a colour, all you have to do is consistently pick out pieces from your wardrobe that are in the same colour family - et voilà - and you've got an outfit that looks refreshingly different.

Outfits in one colour have a lot to offer:

  • Tone-on-tone outfits are eye-catching and fulfil the motto: "Dress to impress" because they make you look polished in an instant.
  • Especially if you need to get going quickly in the morning, the look looks as if you put a lot of thought into putting your outfit together.
  • If you feel like you have nothing left to wear (even though the clothes rail is full to the brim) but are reluctant to invest in a new wardrobe, the monochrome style provides a change of pace.
  • Packing becomes easier because you'll make fewer decisions once you've decided on 1-3 colours. What's more, you can also mix and match the individual pieces if you get bored.
  • Without interruptions, you look bigger when completely immersed in one colour
  • There's something for everyone: for those who like plain black or bright red, for example.
  • The shape, material and textures of your favourites come to the fore and speak for themselves.
  • "Last but not least": The next dirty wash will come down to one colour and make washing easier for you too.
