Black & White Stripes

Good news for zebras and jailbirds: You're completely chic right now! Celebrities everywhere have been embracing the bold, graphic combo of black and white stripes, and it won't take too long for you too to start loving this easy-to-pull-off trend.

This dark against light, black with white monochrome fashion look is classic, and the perfect choice right now for any money-savvy fashionistas. Long after coloured garments have faded into last season's oblivion you will still be able to wear monochrome classics that stand the test of time.

If you are put off by the fear of the unappealing optical illusion that horizontal lines might have on you, don't. Follow these simple tips and you'll be on the right track in no time :

1. Keep horizontal stripes loose, follow a go 1-size-up rule, to stop them clinging and having a widening effect on your figure.

2. Vertically striped skirts or trousers can make you look taller, especially worn with a solid-colored top or T-shirt. Diagonal stripes have the same effect.
3. For an everyday look, dont overdo the stripes. A single piece is stylish, head-to-toe is not. Team a monochromed stripey outfit with a solid color or some shiny patent or satin shoes.
4. Narrow stripes look best on petite frames, and if you are fuller in one part of your body than you would like, then consider a thicker stripes; or stripey style with a single color-block in that area. For example, if you are big-busted then a dress with a plain black bodice and monochrome-striped skirt will be a real figure-flatter.
