What I love most about fashion is that it’s forever evolving, but for this year’s black and white trend, I wish it could stay. It just so classic, versatile and practical. As long as you pick the right shape and accessories, this combo really can take you anywhere.

Here, Cameron Diaz & Victoria Beckham showed us how to take this trend to the office with the right balance of subdued glamorous and fashion-conscious:

Black pumps and bags are work wardrobe staples, this season, change them into white. Team with a knee-length or below the knee dress. A gold belt or watch adds just the right amount of luxe touch.

Victoria Beckham exemplifies the minimalist chicness. Her ‘secret’ lies in the details: from a sexy heel with metallic accent and flirty V-cut topline, a understated luxurious clutch to a deep V-neck shirt and an impeccable tailored jacket tossed over her shoulders.

In Chinese: 虽然不断的更新与变革是时尚永恒不变的主题，但是对于我喜欢的潮流，有时候真希望它能永恒不变，比如今年大热的黑与白。只要找到对的剪裁和配饰，这个经典的色彩组合可以让我们游走于任何场合。

就拿我们呆的时间最长的办公室来说吧，把以往常备的黑色高跟鞋和公文包换成白色，加上一条黑白拼接的及膝或膝下裙（Cameron Diaz所穿的这条现在三折！），既符合潮流又优雅端庄。以极简现代风格著称的Victoria Beckham则在细节上脱颖而出，比如她脚上的这双金属跟的鞋（最喜欢楦头的桃心设计！）和低调优雅的手包，披在肩头的外套，低开领的衬衫以及精致的细腰带等。

As you can see from above, we moved from classic blue to crisp white today! How can we get through summer without a perfect pair of white shorts? They just make everything instantly summer-ready, even the dark black or warm brown.

The pure, clean color makes a perfect canvas for beautiful printed tops, be it a bold animal print version like the one on Heidi Klum (above left) or an tropical ombre shirt like seen on Alessandra Ambrosio (above right) which slightly dresses up the look, makes you stand out effortlessly.

Instead of wearing ankle boots that we usually do with blue denim, team your fresh white shorts with sandals: casual Gizeh version for a laid-back weekend or embellished strappy ones for hanging out with friends or a casual date.

To let all eyes focus on your top, pay attention to the accessories: they need to compliment your clothing without competing. The best way to do so is to keep them in a similar color family of your clothing, like the two stars did here: one chose earthy brown and warm gold to go with the white, another opted for cool blue and silver.

Flare or A-line skirt is a summer must-have. It’s easy breezy, girly and flirty, most of all, it flatters many body types. Today, I picked two totally different looks incorporated this classic shape, hope they can inspire you to style yours.

Usually in warm weather, we tend to choose light colors to pair with white skirt, or bright solid colors to complement a printed one. But this season, try to use a black top, it will highlight the skirt, give it a modern sophisticated vibe.

A white flare skirt is romantic and playful, Liu Wen toughened it up with a wide leather waist belt and lace up peep toe booties. A see-through mesh top adds sexiness. Her sleek hair and natural makeup really enhance the cool-girl effect. For a night out, you can opt for a scarlet lip or a smoky eye (but never both).

1. M.A.C “Creme D’nude” lip color
2. Ariella Collection stackable rings
3. Rag & Bone flare skirt (extra 25% off with code EXTRA25; similar here)
4. Pour La Victoire booties ( also adore this pair)
5. Glamorous mesh stripe top (great buy here)
6. Asos peplum belt (leather look here)
7. Mod Cloth belt (similar here)

Miranda Kerr always blends the urban chicness with femininity perfectly. This look is no exception. Black half sleeve top, ankle strap heels, structured tote and trendy sunnies made a girly floral printed skirt modern and chic.

Balance is always key. Like both of these ladies did, team an A-line, flare, full or skater skirt with fitted top and cinched waist.
