Fashion shoot: Back to black (and white) occasionwear
The best monochrome dresses for every occasion this summer
Take the stress out of dressing for a special occasion with monochrome, the most classic of all colour combinations.
As we enter the season of occasion dressing, the thought of what to wear to the races/wedding/garden party are enough to fill even the most ardent fashionistas with fear.
From party ready mini dresses to more formal frocks the simple (and undoubtedly most stylish) answer is to opt for the enduringly stylish combo of black and white.
Back to Black (and white)
Show all 5The great British high street has come up trumps this season, head to under the radar labels like Self Portrait and Finery for something a little bit special. Whilst you can’t go wrong with a whiz around Topshop.
