Back to the Basics: Black and White

December 19, 2007 | Filed Under Designer Fashion 


Chanel Black and White Dress

Black and white is in! Clothing and accessories alike are back in black - with white.

Accessories like sunglasses are best this season if you forgo the “colored” glasses. Similarly, pin-striped or patterned black and white hats are uber cool. Boots are the season’s footwear of choice and black boots go easily with almost anything. Likewise, a black handbag or purse like Hayden Panettiere was seen with is great, and if it has white stitching, it’s even hotter.

Pieces of clothing, like shirts, dresses and skirts are all the rage. Dolce and Gabbana, John Galliano and Gucci are all using black and white patterns in their designs. Like the black and white Chanel outfit above.

The thing about black and white is it classic, and it never goes out of style. One thing: if going the stripe route, vertical stripes are slimming.
