Solid black and white can look a little bland, so spice up your look with plenty of texture. The texture can come from finishes (like patent leather), fabric treatments (like pleats, ruching or ruffles) or from embellishment (like tonal beading or embroidery).

Go wild with your texture and mix up two totally different textures for maximum effect.
