Black and white is a timeless combination and has been worn by stars and fashionistas since the start of high fashion (Coco Chanel, anyone?), but the classic duo is being remixed for this spring. Instead of just wearing a simple black dress with pearls or a black skirt with a white blouse, spice up the ensemble with funky shoes (Zara and Rachel Zoe, pictured),
leather shorts (Alexander Wang),
or a two-toned jean jacket (DL1961).
If that doesn’t float your boat, floral black and white skirts or structured pencil skirts are a spring-y option (Milly),
as well as classic nautical stripes and simple white dresses with a pinch of something daring (like this leather-backed Alexander Wang dress).
Make the staples your own!
