You know the unstoppable power of a total black or a total white outfit. But the showstopper is a black & white outfit.

Theoretically, black and white is an easy combination but there are a few traps you can avoid.

1. Wear white from head to toe

and add black accessories or the other way around. These are beautiful and sensual outfits for the summer.

2. Play with the motifs.

Wear a black or white piece from the waist down (a skirt or trousers) and match it with a black and white, blouse or shirt.

3. Avoid the combination of monochrome pieces

such as a white blouse with a black trousers. Monotony can be broken as follows:

• A bold mixture of fabrics. For instance, a black hoodie and a white jeans culotte.
• A black and white scarf, a black and white bag and black-white accessories.
• A black, flared top with white culotte.

4. Plaid and polka dot fabrics in black and white

which are of course seen everywhere but this version is always a facilitator for every occasion. At the same time, these combinations stand for ethereal and romantic aspects in our look.

5. A plaid, striped or floral suit in black and white

can be worn with black or white shirts and T-shirts. A very in-the-moment choice.

6. Snakeskin patterns can be part of your look as well.

It might be the trousers, a trench coat, a blouse and skirt, a bag or a pair of shoes. Whichever element you choose, it plays a great role and adds character to your outfit.

Today’s outfit is inspired by my polka dot socks. They winked at me from a shop window. But would I just rely on socks and high heels to make a whole outfit? Good weather conspired and I also went for a bomber jacket, a black skirt and t-shirt. An outfit made by following the above stylistic tips.

The rest I leave to you!
