The Spear’s shopping guide: Enter the age of Monocouture

By Spear's

Once upon a time summer fashion meant bright colours, but this season is all about monochrome. During SS21 shows, Chanel opted for crisp layering in black and white, while Gabriela Hearst showcased achromatic eveningwear. Balmain’s colourless power suit made a statement, as did Dolce & Gabbana’s Sixties minidress in checkerboard hues.
