We’ve noticed this understated yet sensational colour scheme making regular appearances this week.

If there’s one trend we picked up at runways of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia 2016 over the past few days, it’s shades of black and white. Monochrome outfits seem to be all the rage right now, and for good reason. Here’s why you should be picking monochrome colours this season:

The colour scheme looks professional – Not only does a black and white ensemble look ultra-chic, it could play in your favour when heading to the office. The colours have long been associated with classic suit-and-tie looks. At work, you will be the epitome of class and exude a no-nonsense kind of aura that will make your co-workers take you seriously.

It matches with anything and everything – This goes without saying. The neutral tones of monochrome wardrobe pieces will allow you the freedom of pairing them up with all sorts of wilder hues. Pair a white blouse with a black skirt and perhaps a loud pair of scarlet heels or a bright orange tote.

Can be worn to any event, at any time of the day – There are “day” looks, and there are “night” looks. A summery dress with bright floral prints may not carry you from morning to evening so well, but a dress in solid minimalist hues of black and white could possibly help with this.

The colours are easy on the eyes – Not many people can look at a bright yellow outfit for too long. For a subtle and more classy look, it’s best to stick to shades that are subdued yet strong. Jet black or ivory white will do the trick.

Head up to the gallery to check out the best monochrome looks we’ve spotted on the runways of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia 2016. They’ll inspire you to execute your weekend wardrobe with some B+W flair.
