But black is not all that it is
The various shades of black only do not define the monotone fashion culture. In fact, career oriented women and female workers across Japan have begun flaunting monotone fashion as well.

Is it a resetter?
For sure it could be, not only in Japan but across the globe as well. The term monotone refers to different hues and shades being used of a single colour. Styling it with achromatic colours only, such as grey shades, white and black too, monotone fashion can be worn for formal and semi-formal occasions and events.

Quite elegant
Maybe this is why the streets across Japan, Paris, Mumbai and London or any other part of the world for that matter is seeing a shift in colours used for fashion. Monotone all the way, quite elegant and was once the in-thing for 2006 fashion weeks.
