This Unlikely Summer Colour Pairing Looks So Expensive

Softer – and more forgiving – than black and white, we’re seeing stylish black and cream outfits crop up all over the trend-sphere …

Amp up a foundational wardrobe piece like a V-neck knit in black (or navy) by layering a silk top in a creamy shade underneath. Finish the look with a pair of white jeans.

French label Loulou de Saison’s leather separates are noted by Brown Thomas womenswear buying manager Rachel Armstrong as an if-you-know-you-know kind of buy. We especially love how this off-white textured jacket contrasts elegantly with a black statement belt and trousers.

Black and cream may not be the most obvious of pairings for summer months, but it comes into its own in this contrast-trim top by Norwegian fashion brand Aks Label. Team it with a structured top handle bag for a modern take on ladylike dressing.

Sometimes, simplicity is key. A cream round-neck jumper is a soft contrast to cropped black trousers and pared-back ballet flats.

Nothing speaks to great seasonal tailoring like a collarless blazer. In this case, it sits excellently with a column midi skirt and a sculptural clutch bag. Choose both in black, naturally, for a modern look.
