Classic Monochrome
Monochrome outfits and classic black and white clothing are timeless and versatile. That’s why we love creating black and white dresses and monochrome occasionwear. If you’re looking for an ethical and sustainable black and white outfit, here’s our style tips and a selection of our Fair Trade looks.
Black and White Outfits for Ladies - A Guide to Monochrome Fashion
1. Striking Black and White Occasion Looks
We know that when choosing a dress for an occasion it’s sometimes hard to decide what look to go for. Black and white outfits offer a striking and bold look. Here are some of our favourite pieces from the Jenerous collection, that are ethically made using sustainable organic cotton. Find out more about our Fair Trade factories and sustainable fabrics.
2. Monochrome is a Look that’s Always on Trend
We might ask ourselves questions like… What will suit me? What colour is in?
At Jenerous we believe that black and white is a safe and timeless option. Monochrome is always ‘on trend’ and is an excellent choice when looking for a dress that won’t date! If you were to look at the most recent Ready to Wear catwalk shows, black and white outfits and dresses feature in the designers’ collections, as they do every season!
A few of my favourites were a black and white zebra printed maxi dress from Dolce and Gabanna, a large scale black and white spot from Carolina Herrera and an abstract animal print from the Alberta Ferretti collection.
3. Black and White Looks That are Easy to Accessorise
There is always the dilema of what to wear with your chosen outfit? “Do I have the right accessories?”
When choosing a black and white occasion outfit it is likely that you already own a pair of black heels that will match. There are also lots of available black and white accessories in shops if you do need to purchase something new.
Black and white also works well with colour, and you can create a completely different look, by adding brightly coloured accessories.
4. Timeless Monochrome Styles That can be Worn Again and Again
There is also the question of “Will I be able to wear my outfit more than once?” which is really important for protecting the environment, as we need to reduce the amount that we buy and keep the clothing we have for longer.
We also appreciate that when someone buys an occasion dress it can be an expensive item to purchase, so versatility is important. Our Honour Wrap Dress is perfect as it’s a timeless and versatile addition to your wardrobe. It can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion, meaning that you can wear it many times. You can even match with your daughter for a special occasion with our Mini-me girls dress.
Fashion trends are always changing but Monochrome is a timeless look, so your black and white outfit won’t date.
Monochrome Fashion for The Timeless Wardrobe - Conclusion
Drawing on my experience working as a designer for the UK Highstreet, I have chosen some classic black and white prints for our collection. Black and white is always a popular choice as it looks chic and striking and can be styled in different ways depending on the occasion.
Another great benefit of choosing a black and white dress, is that it’s really easy to accessorise, as most women own a pair of black heels and a black jacket or cover up.
So, if you are looking for an occasion dress and don’t quite know what to choose, we would recommend black and white, as it looks stunning and doesn’t go out of trend.
It’s classic…but in a good way!
