This time, we’d like to introduce a collection of black-and-white coordinates of stylish people from overseas that you can use as a role model!

Black and White Cordage ① “The key to a fashionable look is to have just the right amount of slack!

The selection of a band-collar shirt with a loose silhouette and bare loafers add just the right amount of sophistication to the look. This eliminates the stiffness and awkwardness of the black-and-white coordination, and creates a relaxed atmosphere that is very much in tune with today’s modern trends. The tucked-in hem is also perfect for the current mood.

Black and white coordination (3) “Balance the look with a light white shirt so it doesn’t look too heavy.

The combination of thick silhouette black pants and leather shoes has a strong presence. To avoid making the outfit look heavy and disproportionate to summer, a white shirt is worn lightly as a light outerwear to give it a light finish. Also, the use of tasteful accessories, such as sunglasses hooked onto the belt loop, is also a good idea.

Black and white coordination (4) “Achieve a good balance by equalizing the amount of color.

The black sneakers with white midsoles that link to both the top and bottoms create a sense of rhythm. Furthermore, by equalizing the amount of black and white, a well-balanced coordination is achieved. Also, if you look closely, you can see embroidery on the left chest of the T-shirt and cutoffs on the pants, which are nice choices of items that set them apart from the others.

Black and White Coordinate (5) “Update your summer black and white coordinate with an oversized white T-shirt.

The shorts, socks, and sneakers look as if they were made with 90’s fashion in mind, while the black and white coordinate is updated with an oversized white T-shirt that is very much in line with today’s fashion. The oversized white T-shirt keeps the impression of a loose lower half of the body in check, while at the same time avoiding the “formal” look often associated with black-and-white coordination. This is an interesting take on styling that dares not to aim for sophistication.

Black-and-white coordination (6): “Jackets in black and white for a more modern look.

A light black tailored jacket, black shirt, classic and elegant white Gurkha pants and black loafers combine to create a black and white monotone jacket style. The folded cuffs of the jacket and bare feet of the loafers create a casual atmosphere, giving the look a mature and relaxed feel without being stuffy or formal. The black shirt tucked in accentuates the elaborate waist detail of the Gurkha pants while creating a beautiful impression, and the result is nothing short of smart.

Black and white coordination (7) “Tuck in the front to add a twist to the silhouette!

The man in the photo has a black T-shirt tucked in at one point on the front to create a slight puddle on both sides of the waist, and has a well-tailored silhouette at the waist where the black and white border meet to prevent the I-line black and white coordinate from looking monotonous or lacking in substance. The simpler the black-and-white monotone coordinate becomes, the more uniform and uninteresting it becomes, so even a subtle technique like this is effective in refreshing the impression.
