Monochrome Magic
This Summer

The sartorial sorcery of black-and-white continues to enchant this season, too. Here's how the A-listers have been acing the trend...and why you need to get working on a black and white wardrobe, too.

The best way to ease into the trend is to wear an outfit that boasts both the colours, through print (or even trimmings, like fringes, tassles, pipings etc). It's a subtle, foolproof yet catchy way of joining  the black and white brigade.

Layering is another fun, fearless way of working the B/W trend. Pick a one-tone outfit (black or white), and add the other hue by way of some cool, zany accessories and shoes, for a modern update of the classic combination.

The more B/W-confident among us can even take to the trend head-to-toe, à la Ms Jenner here. Cosmo tip: keep the hair and make-up minimal and steer clear of any bling, to let your checkered ensemble take centre stage.

To get more from the trend, play with pieces in different fits and textures—black cycling shorts with white shirts, black lace-y corsets over blouses, white shirts under black dresses, the works.

Level-up your casuals with head turning accessories, or add some dainty baubles and switch to high heels, for a more glammed up vibe.
