While I'm all for bright and bold for summer, there is also something to be said for the iconic pairing of black and white pieces. Both classic and modern, the stark contrast of black and white offers sophistication, elegance, and edge to any outfit. Whether on a color-block shift, or an avant-garde jacket, dark and light combinations feel fresh and always manage to look polished. Embrace this season's colorless palette, further proving that indeed, opposites do attract.
