I think this one WOULD be garish if done in colours other than black and white. But black and white are
sort of a classic combination, and lend this one a smart elegance .... much better than done in sea green and white, or pink and green.
For me, it has a rather classy look, like an elegant lady wearing a smart black, three-quarter length white gloves, and a string of pearls.
