When in doubt, go black and white. This seemed to be the adage at Olivier Theyskens' first line for Theory. The ex-Nina Ricci designer has taken a commercial twist in his design life and started a line for lower-priced workwear-classic brand, Theory. He showed updated blazers, luxe tees, and a decidedly more laid-back casual style for his SS '11 collaboration with the line, mostly done in black, white and the many shades of grey that come in between.
Don't be fooled: black and white doesn't have to look boring. The key to keeping this colour palette interesting is to mix textures; choose a satin blazer instead of a wool one, then mix in a cotton tee and dark denim trousers. Mixing textiles while sticking to one colour scheme never fails to look chic without going overboard.
