Opposites attract on a major scale this winter. The classic combo- black and white- is back. The question really is, did it ever leave?! Either way, the monochrome trend is big. I love the trend because it's so easy to put together an outfit. You don't really need to do a whole lot of shopping for this one. I'm quite sure that you already have items in your closet which you can combine. If you do want to jack-up your closet with one or two items you might like some of my fab finds :-)
This top is in line with the peplum trend which was ablaze all summer and will still be present in fashion lines throughout the winter season. I love the way it synches in the waist. If you have a smaller bust, the horizontal lines on the upper part of the top will add volume to the chest area. I like this look with a black pencil skirt for the office. Wear it with leather pants on a night out.
Add glints of gold to your black and white outfit to luxe it up.This zip on this gorgeous jacket goes all round and you can unzip the bottom half off to change-up the length.
This tux jacket is a great investment piece. It will work perfectly for work. Try it with a crisp white collared shirt neatly tucked into a pair of black slacks. Wear it on a night out with a pair of black skinnys or a mini.
Give this black and white off-the-shoulder top a bit of edge by wearing it with a biker-style jacket. I like the gold zips and studs on this jacket. Gold jewelry usually looks great with black and white because silver sometimes does not stand-out against the white. If you do go for silver try something with super-shine or go for accessories with diamante so that it shines out to give your outfit some bling.
When you go monochromatic, its a good idea to wear black in different textures so that your look is not one dimensional. So accessorise with, for example, a black patent leather belt. Combine cottons, silks, satins, lace and leather. Also pair plain black or white pieces with patterned black and white items. At the end of the day you don't want to look like a waiter, unless you really are one!
