Summer Style: Black & White

Who says summer is all about wearing bright colors and patterns? Black & white fashion is in year-round! Sure, after long winters and cold weather we want to bring out as much color as possible, yet deep down we still want to sport the classic black and white attire from time to time. I've put together 3 summer looks using black & white. I hope this inspires you to explore other summer fashion options this season, as well as inspires you with summer outfits as a whole! :)

Gingham & Ruffles
White Ruffled Top & Black & White Gingham Skirt

For this first black and white look, I paired two of my favorite k/lab pieces from Kohl's. I love the combination of the dramatic ruffled top and the gingham wrap skirt. Aside from the top being sleeveless, the elements of this outfit are "summery". The details of the ruffles, the cut out in the top, and the open front look of the skirt, are details that make this summer appropriate. Fun patterns can make all the difference with a black and white color scheme outfit.

Jump!
Black & White Striped Jumpsuit

This next look is so fun! Jumpsuits are just so easy to style and really comfortable! To add a pop of color to this outfit, I chose a floral choker necklace. This broke up the look a little bit, but still stays true to the black and white theme we've got going on here. Accessorizing with pops of color will balance out your outfit for summer!

"When You Match Your Shirt"
Black & White Graphic Tank

For this last look, I chose a black and white graphic tank and paired it with distressed jean shorts. Of the three outfits on today's blog post, this one is an obvious summer outfit, regardless of the tank color. But, black is the dominant color here. Again, I've popped this outfit with a red bandana choker to complement the top.
