Monochrome 101: Cream
Words by Ben Brewster, Creative Director, The Cuff

It’s no secret I’m a proponent of monochromatic dressing, and the cream color scheme is no exception. The cream linen blazer has been a warm weather favorite of mine for the last couple years and its neutral tone allows it to be paired with almost any color. I often wear it with navy or green trousers and a white shirt, but going full monochromatic is also an option. I find this option particularly conducive to a coastal setting. Think: sunset boat ride followed by a candle-lit dinner by the water. With a muted palette there’s room to go bolder on the accessories; I completed the look with a gold signet ring and a burgundy diving watch from Rado.
