Black and white is a timeless color combination. Donning this classic duo, not only allows you to exude ease and class, but putting the look together is actually easy. Color blocking is very on trend, but can be tricky and can quickly end in disaster if you don’t have an eye for color. Black and white is the original color block and oozes sophistication. And because this is such an effortless pairing it allows you to mix fabric textures more freely.

perfect for way to transition your wardrobe to cooler weather. i love the intricate cropped top paired with a classic black maxi.

Diane Kruger dares to bare in this peek-a-boo long sleeved cropped top. I also love the jersey with the leather.
