Monochrome Madness

What's black, white, and chic all over? The monochrome trend, that's what! Tried and tested for decades, the sleek and sophisticated monochrome never gets old. The simplicity of a black-and-white ensemble makes it a timeless classic and thus, you can wear it even during the spring and summer when colorful looks and pieces are stacked on everyone everywhere. Let's give the crowd a little mix. Working the monochrome look gives the least of problems and fusses when trying to figure out what to pair with what. It's dressing up minus the worries of wearing colors that (don't) compliment each other because practically any black and white items paired together would be a match made in outfit heaven!

See how we came up with three looks from the blacks and whites in our closets!

Not one for straight up plains and solids? You don't have to go down that track! Play with textures and patterns. The asymmetrical skirt and its texturized fabric plus the different lengths of the shirt on this one gave way for a little depth, just so it wouldn't look too here's-black-and-here's-white.

Statement shirts and statement bags instead of statement pieces of jewelry, yes? T-shirts and tank tops make a big way this summer. Shirts aren't only for lazy dressing, they can be worn casual or dressy. The best color choice for a statement shirt is black and white because the message/slogan is easily seen. Doll up your shirt with a flowy skirt and flat sandals to lessen the lazy vibe.

Balance a slightly girly top with sporty pieces from the waist down. This midi skirt is made with a jersey cloth so it gives the feel of sporty and classy at the same time. On top of that (or rather below... get it?), what is classic without a pair of the trusty converse to finish that look!
