Monochrome Mania

In the words of the late Karl Lagerfeld, "black and white always looks modern, whatever that means". Monochrome is probably the most timelessly chic colour combination that exists, with the added bonus of being almost effortless to pull off. Whether you team a white dress with noir accessories, a white blouse with dark trousers, or the other way around, you virtually cannot go wrong with a black and white look. Sure-fire and stylish? What more could you ask?

Unlike other colour families, pastels flatter almost all hair and skin tones, which means the sugary shades are a no-brainer if you just want to throw things together and still turn out looking good. A neutral counterpoint will make pastels really pop, so mix and match mostly-white designs with a palette of lavender, mint, coral, butter, peach, and the like, and you'll be as sweet as candy.
