As Karl Lagerfeld said, “black and white always looks modern, whatever that word means.”
As a modern outspoken woman of the 21st Century, my friends are always telling me not to be so black and white, but in this case I am recommending it.
It is true – black and white always looks cool and chic, perfectly placed wherever you are – and monochrome is this season’s ‘must have’.
Black and white stripes have never gone out of fashion as far as I am concerned – I seem to always replace my stripy Breton top every year. It is always flattering and easy to wear over jeans or under a black biker jacket.
Monochrome dresses were introduced in by Ozzie Clarke back in the sixties, but again have never really dated, and are back now on the High Street in all their glory.

Polka dot leggings or trousers are really kind to the figure, and will instantly slim you down if you need it. Similarly polka dot dresses or tops have the same effect and are adaptable and easy on the eye.
White trousers should be worn all the year round, and team up well with black jumpers or sweatshirts and pumps, in either black or white. This look is easy to accessorise with bangles and handbags.
Also, remember the all-time classic of the black suit trousers teamed with a gleaming white shirt and black tie, to float from office to champagne bar.
Alternatively a smart white jacket over ripped black jeans is a cool look for spring.
