A Bangkok guide to wearing black and white (and doing it right)
Black and white is a timeless combination. Here’s how to wear it.

Basic Stripes
Choose a black and white striped item to go with other whole-color pieces; think striped flared pants matched with a white top or striped strapless top with black pants. Striped sandals and heels are other options, too.
Bold Bag
Dress basic and let your bag (or shoes) do the talking. Irregular-shaped bags are hot right now, thanks to trailblazing brands like Rouge Rouge. Top up your look with either a clutch or gold chain shoulder bag for a glam touch or a colorful tote for a more street-style minimal finish.
Metallic Wonder
White and silver combine for a pretty day-time combination with a Scandinavian edge. Go for an oversized top, perfectly-fitting pants and metallic sandals to complete the look. Metallic platform sandals are also worth considering.
Ethnic and Monochrome
Ethnic or bohemian-inspired style is not all about colorful safari pieces. For a more solemn take, go for a kimono blazer, fringe leather bag and heels with fringe details. An ethnic print mini skirt is another eye-catching option.
