The Oreo effect
As Coco Chanel said, sometimes the beauty of colour is the absence of it.
Well known in a work wardrobe, and easily teamed with luxe accessories for a glam night out, the ways to wear black and white are continual. In patterned shirting and dresses or arranged on top of one another for a bold effect, your choice can be as eccentric as you like. Plus, you can wear these classic hues without breaking Anna Wintour’s number one rule: never wear just black.
There’s a reason that you will see these two shades married together season after season. They just work, and they always have. There lies a synergy between them, complementing each other instead of competing.
Easily add a pop of colour through an exciting lipstick or shoe, although often the striking effect black and white produce is more than enough.
