With the wide variety of magazine publications and fashion spreads continuing to bombard buyers, it takes something truly eye-catching and unique to capture a viewer's attention, but these monochromatic menswear shoots are using dark and subtle tones as a technique to draw in viewers.
While using flamboyant patterns and neon colors is definitely one way to draw attention, the use of black and white colors in these monochromatic shoots creates more of a bold and edgy appearance that will surely attract males looking for some hip, punk rock looks. From rebelliously retro menswear looks to elegant monochromatic editorials, these chic and edgy menswear shoots are utilizing dark and neutral tones to showcase more of a mysterious and retro appeal.
