How to wear a total black and white outfit



A black and white ensemble is the ideal chic get-up for any occasion, social or professional. All black is certainly sophisticated slimming but can appear funereal at times, while all white is definitely reserved for brides. Combine black with white to make an attention-getting fashion statement with these steps.









Step
1



Consider your own sense of aesthetic balance. Do you prefer one main color with only an accent of the contrasting color? Or are equal parts black and white attractive to you? Prints or solids?




Step
2



Choose the image of balance that makes you feel most comfortable. The best accessory to any outfit is a healthy measure of self-confidence.




Step
3



When wearing equal parts black and white, wear black on your bottom half, if possible. Women tend to hold weight on their hips and below, so the black will appear slimming. White on the top half will emphasize the line at the waist and narrow it even further.




Step
4



If accents are your style, wear an all black dress, suit or skirt and top ensemble with white accessories, like bakelite vintage bangles or beaded necklaces. Gleaming white pearls are always sophisticated as well.




Step
5



Prefer prints? Black and white prints are eye-catching and often distract the eye from any negative points concerning your physique. A small and dainty white pattern on black is feminine and subtle, while pop art fabrics call mod styles to mind. White backgrounds are a challenge as that is a lot of space to keep from accidental spills and spots.
