How to Rock the Black, White, & Red Trend

A black-and-white combo always makes a statement. But add pops of red, and it’s suddenly even more daring. Go bold with these five need-now pieces meant for mixing and matching 24/7.

  1. The Red Wool Trench
    Guaranteed to heat things up in a stark winter.
    Wear It With: A cozy scarf in a trending black-and-white windowpane pattern for a bit of texture.
  2. The Shift Dress
    Straight lines and clever colorblocking make it a work-to-weekend must.
    Wear It With: A black turtleneck and a red lip for a hint of ladylike charm.
  3. The Graphic Sweater
    A modest crewneck knit with cascading dalmatian spots? Pure fun. 
    Wear It With: The above shift for a print-mixing moment. Keep pops of scarlet minimal (think: dainty earrings).
  4. Retro Shades
    The cat-eye silhouette flatters all face shapes. The red hue stops them in their tracks. 
    Wear Them With: Head-to-toe black and white to keep the fire-engine color front and center.
  5. The Novelty Bag
    In a monochromatic palette, even the trendiest handbag works with anything.
    Wear It With: A red ensemble that ups the contrast and adds a whole lot of wow.
