Classic and enduring, this colour combo has a new verve. Here’s how to get the look …
Black and white outfits are having a moment, but then again, did they ever really go anywhere? It’s a look that’s enduringly chic – something we rely on time and time again for polish. What’s nice about the looks we’re seeing now is how soft they are. Think luxurious off white and cream denims, which always look more expensive than stark white (opt for low-slung denim, if you dare), paired with crisp white T-shirts or shirting, and a textured jacket on top. Accessorise with a slip-on moccasin or a square-toe ballet flat for spring style nous. What you’ll lack in colour, you’ll supplement in elegance. See our favourite black and white pieces below.

She is the queen of no makeup makeup and even manages to make a smokey eye look subtle. When everyone else was going for heavy contour and laminated eyebrows, she continued to promote enhancing your natural features with simple tricks and smart product placement. If you have seen any of her videos, you will notice how little product she actually uses. Even Victoria Beckham commented how surprised she was when she went to remove her makeup after a shoot with Lisa on how little product was applied.
