Black and white are without a doubt my favourite colours to wear. They are simple, go with absolutely anything and can be worn for almost any occasion. However, a standard daytime monochrome look tends to be simply jeans with a shirt and jacket, with an evening version often being an LBD or a suit, going for the androgynous look. Celebs like Victoria Beckham pull this look off very well, with Jessica Alba looking amazing in her monochrome evening wear, as shown below (with a few other looks for inspiration!).
I, however, have been trying to branch out of this standard option (I LIVE in my black jeans) and wear something a bit different. During a recent trip to Primark to buy an cheapy umbrella (probably a necessity whilst living in Leeds), I ended up falling in love with the cutest black playsuit, and for £14 I couldn't resist buying it! It has a little white collar, making it almost school uniform-esque, but I added a bit of edge to it with a chunky gold necklace, gold stud earrings and heeled boots.
