They say that nothing is ever black and white, but when it comes to the world of fashion, we have to disagree.

Well, it’s just a striking match made in heaven. There are about a millions ways to interpret this trend. Whether you’re in the mood for formal sophistication or casual and funky, this classic colour combo has pretty much all of the bases covered.
