Lately I’ve been wearing black and white like it’s going out of style. For some reason, it’s just easier to dress classically and simply when the temperature goes up. Making summer outfits look sophisticated can be difficult because you just want as little touching your body as possible, and if you’re like me you kind of want to wear something muumuu shaped or made of crocheted string. Choosing simple colors like black and white feels put-together and stylish, and the bonus is that it’s SO EASY TO DO. I am loving bright white tops with tailored black shorts or skirts, or black and white printed dresses like this one here.

Black & white looks great with a punctuation of color, too, so try a red. cobalt, or bright green accessory (sunglasses, earrings, necklace, bag) with your sharp summer basics.
