Everyone looks good in black and white. Like, really good. And that’s not only true about films but also about clothes. The stark contrast between the two shades looks dramatic, modern and decidedly bold.

So how do you freshen up this timeless combination?

By adding a splash of vibrant colour. Inspired by one of Lea Michelle’s red carpet looks, the latest trend pairs classic black and white with bright accessories (pictured: tank from Jacob, bag from Sterling Shoes).

At the office, a green faux-leather bag (from H&M) pops against a printed skirt (from Jacob).

Come summer – or a beach vacation – a black and white one-piece suit (from Aqua La Vie En Rose) would look stunning with sandals in coral or turquoise.

We think Audrey would approve.
