Simple is often best

If you want to rejuvenate your style and have a wardrobe that works for you, then you can’t go wrong with black and white. It is timeless, classy and rarely looks cheap. You can ring the changes with accessories to keep your look fresh. If you want a splash of colour then add jewellery or a scarf.

Simple T-shirt and pants from Finery

Great holiday look

Both of the above outfits are simple yet effective. Wear long or three quarter sleeves if you feel more comfortable.

Relaxed evening look from Zara

Very stylish & upmarket

Perhaps it’s just me but I do think the above outfit is far more chic than rows of frills in a garish colour.

Casual and easy

Unless you are very short this would be an informal look for summer and YES you can wear trainers. It’s official!

Nike – worth every penny

Plain yet poised

If the above outfit is too plain for you add a scarf or piece of colourful jewellery. Personally I would have had a more neutral bag as the one above looks too business like.

The benefits of black and white are versatility and cost. Very colourful busy prints can often look cheap. More Primark than Prada!
