The freshest way to wear black and white is to pair a solid black top with a white bottom (skirts, shorts or jeans). This is a great look if you are top heavy because the black de-emphasizes your top. Tie the whole look together with understated accessories -- strappy black sandals, a satin flower belt -- for a feminine look that doesn't detract from the graphic appeal.
