The right striped top is sometimes all you need for the perfect monochrome look, but bonus points will be given for contrast details like the cuffs and neckline on this jumper. If you’re keeping it simple in the wardrobe department, a statement accessory like these cat’s eye browline glasses will pull the whole look together.

Can you get any more ’60s than an all-black turtleneck? We love this beatnik-inspired dress, which gives more than a nod to the generation who invented the monochrome trend. Some oversized shades and a carefree attitude top off the look perfectly.

When you’re sticking to a black and white palette, don’t be shy about clashing prints. We’re simply in love with this A-line mini skirt and matching jacket, but pairing the set with a vertical striped top and contrast-detail specs takes the outfit to the next level.

Mixing black and white colour blocks with Breton stripes is a sure-fire way to master monochrome. White fitted jeans with a boxy black coat and retro specs will create a modern day take on the ’60s silhouette.
