WHY WE LOVE IT
In a complicated world, thereās something reassuring about clean, simple black-and-white, especially when itās organized into logical stripes, grids, and figure-flattering vertical planes. The look is modern, cool, and assertiveābut never in your faceāand smacks of self-possession.
HOW TO WEAR IT
Introducing another color would lessen the impact. So if your neckline begs for ornamentation, choose a statement piece in, yes, black or white, as Oscar de la Renta did with a gown. Shoes can be black, white, or a mix of the two, and makeup should do nothing more than highlight your brows and bone structure (contour away!).
