Black and white is a timeless combination and has been worn by stars and fashionistas since the start of high fashion (Coco Chanel, anyone?), but the classic duo is being remixed for this spring. Â Instead of just wearing a simple black dress with pearls or a black skirt with a white blouse, spice up the ensemble with funky shoes (Zara and Rachel Zoe, pictured),
leather shorts (Alexander Wang),
or a two-toned jean jacket (DL1961). Â
If that doesn’t float your boat, floral black and white skirts or structured pencil skirts are a spring-y option (Milly),
as well as classic nautical stripes and simple white dresses with a pinch of something daring (like this leather-backed Alexander Wang dress).
 Make the staples your own!
