How to Style Black and White with Ageless Style

Ageless Style is a monthly style challenge and link up for women of all ages.   Each month we pick a different theme and style an outfit based on that theme.  This month's theme is "Black and White" and was picked by Marsha.

I have always been a fan of wearing black and white, so when Marsha picked it as a theme, I knew I would have plenty of options.  I have worn black and white so many times that my closet is filled with those colors.  I have also done a ton of past fashion posts on this color theme because I wear it so much.  I really didn't need to go out and buy any new black and white items, and I couldn't think of any way to show you new ways of styling my old black and white clothes, so I just decided to show you all the different ways I've worn black and white in the past.  The link to the original post in underneath each picture.

Black Top with White/Grey Striped Linen Pants


Original Post

Here I paired a black dressy top with white linen pants and white sandals.  The pants have a grey stripe in them.   I wore this outfit to church on a hot summer day.  The linen pants and sandals kept me cool, but the chiffon sleeves of the tops made the whole outfit more dressy than if I would have just worn a black tee shirt.

Here I made the classic black and white combo a little more fun by carrying a black and white gingham bag with a hot pink tag.  This is a very dressy, Audrey Hepburn style of outfit with the black pencil pants, espadrilles, and red lipstick.

       Black and White with a Soft Pop of Color

In the photo above, I added a soft, pastel mint green bag to my black and white outfit for a pop of color.  In the next two photos below, I added brightly colored bags to create a strong pop of color in my black and white outfits.

For this outfit, everything I have on is either black or white, including the jewelry, bag, and shoes.

                    Romantic Black and White

My last photo shows an outfit I wore on a date night, yes, black and white can be romantic.  The off-the-shoulder top is perfect for date nights.

I hope you enjoyed all my black and white outfits.  Do you wear black and white a lot or do you enjoy more color?  Which outfit is your favorite?  I'd love to hear from you.

Have A Great Day!  Amy

  10. I am just beginning to embrace black and white more since my hair has gone salt and pepper. Your date night look is ooo la la!! So pretty, so feminine. Hope the date was a good one. My favorite of your older B&W looks is the one with the pencil pants and white top a la Audrey Hepburn.
