If there's one thing that you truly can't miss when scrolling through the Instagram feeds of our favorite fashion people, it's their current love for wearing black and white. This all really started with a resurgence of The Parent Trap and Meredith Blake. This character and movie were all over my FYP two summers ago, and I reported on it immediately. That combined with a Chanel fashion show brought everything together. Since then, black and white have taken over to the point that it feels like fashion world domination. This motif has become synonymous with luxury and old-money style, and wow, it looks good for any setting.
I've officially worn this trend nearly everywhere I possibly could, from a plane ride where I wanted to be as comfortable as possible to a business meeting that made me feel extra dressed up. There isn't an occasion too formal or too casual for this trend, yet I always feel like that girl when it comes to getting dressed. Below, find the seven outfit ideas I've sourced to get you in the mood for a black-and-white end to your summer.
