AUGUST 07, 2017
As a wardrobe stylist, pairing separates together to create an interesting and unique ensemble is what i love the most! This is where creativity come to the forefront – and when you only have two shades, black and white, to work with, sometimes a little imagination goes a long way!
Pairing black and white separates is a bold statement, that’s achievable for fashion lovers everywhere, regardless of your budget and accessibility to fast fashion stores.
Stella UzoFrom bold prints to polished separates, there is a multitude of ways to achieve the always classic black and white trend. So ladies, it’s time to be the cook in your fashion filled kitchen and flaunt this classic color mixture like the fashionista you are.
Below are a few of my favorite ways to achieve the black and white look with outfit ideas to inspire you:
▶️ To help spice up this classic color combination, try incorporating bold and unusual prints to break up your solid separates. Striped pieces will always be the most classic, but don’t be afraid to show a little more personality with a fun and original print.
Monica Awe-Etuk▶️ If your daily routine finds you office bound, you don’t have to limit yourself to a boring black suit and white blouse. There are plenty of creative, stylish, and still professional ways to wear black and white to work, you can switch your black suit with a bold colored blazers or pair a fun printed blouse, with a sleek black pencil skirt you already own.
▶️ Here, the hair boss 'Miz Wanneka' put together a look that is so versatile. You could wear this black and white outfit for a day in the office, a luncheon, or a date night. I love the way she coordinated her look with a black asymmetric skirt, chain clutch, and studded pointed pumps. She nailed it!
▶️ For a blend of classy and upbeat, try infusing texture into your white/black outfit. An eye-catching black and white prints blouse will look sublime over a cute black pants. This look is incredibly contemporary and confidence inspiring. It is the kind you can wear to a casual get-together or to the office when topped with a bold colored blazer.
Priscilla of @prissysavvy ▶️ Channel a 70s diva in a retro inspired black and white dress like Chic Ama did here. Though there are more fashionable choices; some dresses are elegant white with flirty black designs or a white blouse fitted with a black skirt and sleeves. Just go for the one that suits you and rock it stylishly.
▶️ Introduce a little extra zing by playing with fashionable items; you can create any kind of look you want - fun, refined and more.
The trendiest attire I have seen is a stylishly cut off-white sleeveless-coat over a black and beige boater hat and worn with white trousers. This will make people gape admirably at you as you strode on the street.
Sade Akinosho ▶️ A comfy pair of denim and a causal or dressy black and white top is a super easy and virtually effortless way to dominate this trend.
Lashoundra Young▶️ Maybe the sleek white and bold black attire seems lame to you; rather you love prints and have a bold sense of style?! Try bringing together different prints, you will be surprised at how startlingly chic it looks. Start with large prints as they are easier to match, then balance it with a smaller print.

▶️ Highlight your two-tonal sensibilities in an outfit that is smoothly defined and flirty like Zynnell Zuh did here in a white dress with black details. The reason the trend is so in right now is because you can create your own personality and still rock the black and white style like no other.
▶️ As for accessories; color coordination livens up the outfit - black shoes with white trimmings, white stiletto heels, a black purse with bold color detail and other pieces that reflect the white and pop up the black perfectly is the way to nail this trend.
