Simple, elegant, perfect for any occasion: it is the trend we have been waiting for. Because fashion often offers us trends that are difficult to show off in everyday life. Scenic and surprising, sometimes the looks created by stylists are closer to works of art than to real clothes, of those we really have in the closet.
And, even in that case, designers often know how to transform the most basic garments with prints and patterns more suitable for Coachella than for a day at the office. But not in this case. In fact, one of the strongest trends of Spring-Summer 2021 will not make you raise your eyebrow or open your mouth wide in amazement. It happens, in fact, that it is within everyone’s reach. It is that of the mix of black and white, proposed by the most important brands in its simplest and most chic version. No to lines, chess, so it is fantasy visually more brazen. In this case, simplicity wins. He knows it well Chanel that of black & white made her own label and, again this season, she sent dresses on the catwalk very elegant and essential.

A winning combination also on red carpet: there are many celebrities who walked the red carpet with creations that focus on discreet contrasts. Who does not remember the outfit sported by Julia Roberts at the Oscars in 2001, when she was awarded Best Actress for Erin Brockovich? Her designer dress Valentino, black with white profiles and tulle train, has entered history and is a real fashion icon. So much so that since then many have tried to replicate its success by opting for clothes that do not necessarily focus on the surprise effect (as al Met Gala, so to speak).

When it comes to elegance understated you can’t help but think about the Duchess of Cambridge, who, not surprisingly, is a huge fan of black and white. More than on stripes and polka dots, Kate is often spotted wearing solid color dresses or suits with contrasting details. Her look, as always, turns out sophisticated and impressive. And, for this, very copied.
