PinExt Shop Your Closet: Black & White

The color combination of black and white is timeless. It has been around for years and it will most likely be around forever. However, wearing these two colors together can get old very quick so I put together this look to show how you can wear it with current trends. Printed dresses are very popular right now and that’s why I love this white and black dress.

The print at the bottom is quite subtle, but it’s eye-catching. I chose to pair a blazer with it because blazers are the go-to jacket these days. For shoes, I thought these Alexander McQueen ones were perfect because of how popular peep toe shoes are right now and how they have a cutout pattern. I think my favorite part of this outfit is the Chanel purse only because it is a timeless style and it’s been around for decades. I love that I can incorporate the old with the new in the outfit and have it still look current. I then added white earrings and a black ring to give the outfit more of a black and white contrast.
