In a crazy, complex world, there is something assuring about clean, modest black and white. The look is sleek, sophisticated and confident—but never in your face. Monochrome is a timeless, classic and is definitely trending this season. You can find this look showcased at stores like kate spade, Banana Republic and Ann Taylor. This trend is easy to manage because there is no need to worry about complementary colors. Black and white always works perfectly together. Whether it’s prints, stripes or grids, the color combo creates a bold statement.
This Fashionista portrayed this trend flawlessly. Her look is effortless, and she didn’t think to hard when trying to match these patterned shorts. There was no need for a bold color when the black and white says it all. She matched these shorts with a black tank and white sweater. The look stood out to me because it made such an impact without being too forceful. She paired the outfit with a silver necklace and brown, strappy sandals. I loved that the sandals added just a hint of another neutral color. They did not steer away from the main attraction. Also, with a quick change into heals, the outfit can easily go from day to night. Her makeup is also neutral and only highlights her bone structure, brows and lips. Her blonde, natural hair stands out against the chic colors. She impeccably pulls off this trend.
What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “I love this look because it’s simple but still makes a statement. It was easy to match these pieces together because I wasn’t dealing with crazy, bold colors.”
