We know what you’re thinking, dearest readers: shouldn’t monochrome be…monochromatic? Well, just like the muse of this week’s edition of Monochrome Monday, the world we live in is a jungle; and this week, we’re throwing the rulebook out of the proverbial window. Call it duochrome, call it the tiger print edit, or call it a Monday-afternoon sartorial scroll-fest, for this week’s ‘Monochrome’ Monday, we’re celebrating the king of the jungle’s foster cousin.

Long before Survivor’s ‘Eye of the Tiger’ rose up back on the street or went the distance on its feet - Alexa, you know what to do - Tiger’s eye long mesmerised us humans with its iris-resembling lustrous shades of amber, brown, orange, and black.

So without further ado, you may begin scrolling…
