As much as we love the color trends of the moment (ahem, millennial pink), we always go back to our tried and true: black and white. You can’t get more classic than that, right? From your 9-to-5 at the office to your evening workout class, we’ve rounded up four ways to rock these iconic hues.

To keep a monotone outfit interesting, play with silhouette and texture. The black lace gives this (otherwise very feminine) blouse a bit of edge, and the raw-hem denim adds another element of interest. For your next black-and-white OOTD, utilize different fabrics and patterns to break up your look.

Uptown style is all about class and elegance. The easiest way to achieve that? Black and white. Think tailored jackets mixed with dreamy floor-length maxis. For an extra touch of glam, wear oversized glasses and patent pumps.

For a modern 9-to-5 outfit, mix casual and elevated pieces. A black structured blazer will instantly dress up your go-to T-shirt and jeans. Can you say cool-girl? Lace-up pointed-toe flats and your favorite designer bag polish off this look.

These days, athletic clothes are a must inside (and outside) the gym. To rock this look after spin class, go for simple pieces in black and white. It feels a bit more elevated than a bright pink workout tank, right? Throw on a white graphic sweatshirt and black leggings and you can’t go wrong.
