Black and white pieces are easy to style because they’re versatile and can be paired with any color. We love the simplicity of this look, with its light pop of color added to the white mix. A nice bomber jacket completes the look, along with a pair of platforms that give it a bit of street edge.
This look forgoes florals in favor of graphic patterns in a bold and daring way. Dress it up for a formal event, or down for a casual occasion. To avoid patterns clashing, opt for a more muted and simple top but finish off the look with a pair of heeled platforms to add that extra flair.
Off-shoulder tops have been such a hit recently, as has the comeback of chokers. This laid-back outfit is weekend-ready whether you’re brunching out or road tripping. Cloth chokers are comfortable and make great statement accessories, while vibrant prints make an outfit stand out.
