Embrace all things monochrome this season, as StyleNest round up the best of the black and white fashion trend Spring Summer 13.
Whether it’s big and bold, smothered in sequins or simple stripes, make sure your wardrobe is black and white this season.
As seen at the shows of Marc Jacobs who went crazy for thick monochrome stripes, and Louis Vuitton whose dramatic checkerboard silks were the talk of SS13; black and white is back.
Keep it simple and invest in a classic monochrome clutch or covet the trend with top-toe black and white prints for a dramatic, catwalk inspired look.
