Whether seen as sophisticated or mysterious, an all-black colour palette makes a statement. For years black has been considered one of the most classic colours. All-black designs have always carried a certain degree of refinement about them. This particular trend, if we can even call it a trend, so far has been spared the ruthless abandonment countless other fashions experience. It sometimes feels like the modern world tries on a new style every few minutes and then effortlessly sheds it to don the next craze. Never quite going out of style but never really in the spotlight either, all-black had been as good as forgotten in the last few decades. The fashions of the 80s and 90s were all about colours and expressing your personality through your clothes and accessories. Everything biggest and brightest was considered the best. It was maximalist heaven.
As with everything, though, what comes up must come down. In recent years we’ve seen the rapid rise of minimalism. Simple designs with clean elegant lines are currently being highly favoured in both architecture and fashion. It’s evident the younger generations are reverting back to the classic silhouettes of the past. Busy patterns and complicated styles are being left behind in favour of elegance and simplicity. And there is nothing more simple and chic than all-black.
The fashion trend, revived in 2019, has recently reached the world of watches. Hamilton is offering a range of all-black watches to suit any taste and style. Subverting watchmaking tradition these designs exude prestige and stand out easily in all their monochromatic glory.
