"When our home editor, photo director and I all showed up to the office on the same day wearing black and white, I realized the popularity of the black and white trend had hit an all-time high! The contrast of black and white has a feeling of minimalism, and is great for anyone who wants to look sophisticated yet understated. The great thing about black and white is that you can incorporate pieces that are two-tone or have a pattern, plus you can create your own black and white look (a great example is a black pencil skirt with a white silk blouse). You can also pair a black and white top with bright colored pants, or vice versa, for a fun pop of color. If you&amp;#039;re looking to add this fun color combo to your wardrobe, here are four fun choices.
