FASHION: The Boomerang Effect of the Black and White Trend

It's back again .. The Black and White Trend. First becoming popular in the 1960's, this retro trend never seems to fade out for long.
Making many returns since the 60's it has come back this season, for a new modern take.
Designers such as Marc Jacobs, Chanel, Dolce and Gabbana and Moschino using this trend in their Spring 2013 collections.
What i love about this trend is that there are so many ways to wear it. Here are some of my tips for how to change up the look.
1. Prints- try mixing two different black and white prints, or mix a print with a solid black or white piece of clothing.
2. Masculine- 'Le Smoking Suit', A pant suit or LBD, complimented with a metallic or black shoe, is always chic!
3. 60's Inspired- a mini dress and/or retro print combined with a sexy 60's style hair-do.
4.Add a Splash of Color- Accessorize with your color of choice, in bags, shoes or jewelry. Some of my favorite color to add to a Black and White outfit are: Emerald Green, Blue, aor Red.
5. Feminine- Use lace to create more of a feminine look. I love a peek-a-boo of lace, for example a lace bandeau under a back-less shirt.

Below are some pin boards to achieve that Black and White look at every price!!
