Trend report - black and white

Black and white can hardly be considered a "new" trend, but this classic combo has re-emerged on runways and red carpets for the past few seasons. Last summer's ubiquitous striped tee has given way to a more sophisticated take on the timeless match, so brighten up your wardrobe this spring with a crisp floral print dress or checked tunic. Don't toss those stripes quite yet - just doll them up with a dressier pant or well-heeled pump. The yin and yang of color is being worn from head to toe, from hats and totes to dresses, jackets and flats. Channel a little Chanel with this classic mix.
