The fashion trend of the moment? Mix these two timeless shades to upgrade any look.
One evokes purity and simplicity, the other recalls darkness and mystery. And yet, these two colors are the ones that go best together. Although they are diametrically opposed, black and white promise to elevate every look of the season and they are not the spring-summer 2024 fashion shows who will say the opposite.
Emblematic of the house of Chanel, this winning duo appeared in polka dots, stripes, tweed and geometric print versions on the Parisian house’s catwalk. The collections of Stella McCartney, Elie Saab or Courrèges also highlighted black and white silhouettes. Moreover, fashionistas unanimously adopted the two colors after the shows! Celebrities aren’t left out, as confirmed by Emily Ratajkowski, a fan of this timeless color combination that overshadows the vibrant shades of spring.
How to wear the black and white duo?
Often associated with somewhat plain working girl outfits or the uniform of Parisian waiters, the black and white combo is not so easy to adopt on a daily basis. Perhaps the trendiest way to wear this pair is by pairing flowing white pants with a pretty black knit sweater. Can also focus on shoes to appropriate the black and white tandem. A little white dress and black boots will revive the 60’s spirit and are sure to make a statement! Another possibility: add a white jacket or vest over an ink outfit. Sometimes immaculate, sometimes ivory or downright cream, white elegantly enhances a total black look. As for those who are afraid of looking like Cruella de Vil, accessories will be your best allies. Handbags, sunglasses and hats are perfect for mixing these colors without going overboard.
