Dare the black and white look this winter

It's no secret that monochrome outfits are a fashionista's best friend. Why? Because it is very easy to look chic and sophisticated while wearing simple pieces. A black and white ensemble is a surefire way to bring sophistication to any outfit in a flash, but there's more to this trend than just fitted gray pants, an all-white suit and a crisp white shirt. The key is not only in the cut and fit of each piece, but also in the small details such as the type of fabric used and how the different black or white pieces are combined. The black and white pieces can be vests and sophisticated blouses or stunning combinations, as long as you pay attention to the details and make sure that everything you wear has black or white as its main color. If you're looking for ways to incorporate this trend into your wardrobe this winter, follow the advice of our fashion news experts!

Start with a monochrome base.

Once you've chosen between the two colors and decided on your base, the rest is easy. White blouses, white pants, black pants, fitted black pants, pencil skirts all look great with either color. The key is to choose the perfect fit and size for your body type. We recommend choosing a base, then mixing and matching it with different black or white pieces. This way, you'll bring versatility and creativity to your outfit while staying true to the monochromatic trend. With a white base, any black garment - or vice versa - will be the perfect finishing touch. Keep these two colors in mind and you'll always look stylish and elegant.

The unexpected mix

If you want to spice up your look, adding an unexpected color (other than black or white) is a great way to do it. This becomes even more important when you mix two monochromatic colors, because that's when black and white can get a little boring. You can play with the shades of your base colors, or you can add a completely different color. A great way to bring out an unexpected color when wearing black and white is to use your accessories. For example, instead of taking your usual black handbag, you can choose a bright red one. Or if you're wearing a black top and white pants, you can add a touch of color with a red or turquoise belt or scarf. In other words, you can mix different color tones, while staying within the black and white color palette.  

Opt for black basics in your wardrobe.

When choosing black or white pieces to complete your monochromatic look, start with basics like a black blazer or white shirt and build your look around them. These basics can be worn all year round and are elegant for both formal and casual occasions. If you want to wear a black blazer, a white shirt is a great way to balance the look with the rest of your outfit. But if you want to go for a more striking look, you can also try a black shirt with a white blazer. Another way to wear black basics is to mix and match different types of black clothing. For example, a black blazer with black pants or a black pencil skirt.

White on white is also in fashion!

If you opt for a white base, you can build your look around it. You can opt for a classic white shirt or a fitted white top, then complement it with a black blazer, black pants or a black skirt. If you want to go for a bolder look, you can try a white shirt with a black blazer or a black skirt with a white shirt. To make the look even more interesting, you can mix different fabrics: opt for a white shirt with a black blazer (wool) and black pants (silk). The white shirt with a white skirt or pants can have its charm as long as you play with textures, fabrics and patterns to give depth to your look.

Black on black is just as beautiful!

If you opt for a black base, you can go for a more formal and elegant look by pairing it with a white shirt. If you want to go for a more modern and casual look, try a black shirt with black pants. To make the look more interesting, you can mix different fabrics: mix a pair of slim-fit velvet pants with a lighter black off-the-shoulder top. Accompany your look with a black perfecto or a plaid jacket. To make your outfit stand out and give it all its elegance, consider using a strong piece in your outfit even if you are in 100% black look.  

Don't forget the accessories!

In addition to the basics, there are many other accessories that work well with a monochromatic look. Scarves are a great way to add color to your outfit without clashing with your base color. Belts are another useful accessory you can use to make your outfit stand out. For example, if you're wearing a black outfit, a brightly colored belt can help break up the monotony and add character to your outfit.   Dare the black and white look this winter and let elegance and sophistication color your everyday outfits. This trend can be worn for both formal and casual occasions, and it's a great way to stay stylish while keeping things simple and unfussy. The key is not only in the cut and fit of each piece, but also in the small details such as the type of fabric used and how the different black or white pieces are combined. Start with a monochromatic base, choose between black basics, white basics or a bold mix of the two, then add a standout accessory or two to your look. Now you know how to incorporate this trend into your wardrobe, so go ahead and dare black and white!
