Karl Lagerfield couldn’t be more right!  Black and white works every time.  It compliments every body shape and always looks sharp.  But don’t make it boring! So the way you work it is to mix it with pops of colour through shoes or bag and/or combine with other fabrics such as denim jacket/leather pants etc.  And while talking about colour, another great look is black jacket, white T and coloured (any colour works with black and white so pick your fave) cigarette style pants (slim style pant finishing just above ankle).  Wear with heels, wedges or flats depending on occasion. Another great alternative is to stay away from the traditional shaped black jackets and wear a tuxedo style jacket as in the picture or a shorter crop jacket with 3/4 sleeves.  The look is simple but with a twist.

Unzip your inner style…XO
