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.
