There’s something so classic about black and white and even better when there’s a little bit of gold thrown into the picture. These are several items that could easily be transitional pieces for the post-winter/spring welcoming season, as many of us are still having cold breezes and wind chills.
Jackets are probably one of the most items that I have in my closet, aside from blazers and scarves. They get the most wear in my wardrobe, because of their versatility. I love moto-styles and cropped jackets.
A good classic patterned coat like houndstooth is always a great bold piece to work into your wardrobe. With a simple contrast like black and white it makes painting your fashion canvas pretty diverse … graphically. It’s also quite easy to style: choose vibrant colours or traditional red to pair with it and you’re already thinking smart.

Yes, I thought so too, it does have a bit of a nod to Versace!
Thanks!
Liebe Rena, Ich kaufe immer Blazer und Jacken, haha! Ich denke, ein großer Mantel in einem Muster würde auf Sie schön aussehen!
Danke und ich wünsche Dir einen schönen Abend. 🙂

Houndstooth is one of my favourites, one of the old classic patterns to love! Thanks Emma.

That's one of the reasons I loved it so much, faux is fine with me, sometimes, especially when the details are very unique. 🙂
You're welcome. Thanks for visiting.
Ich wünsche Dir ein schönes Wochenende 🙂
Thanks Nicky! Bright colours with black and white are one of my favourites too. 🙂 x Ciao!
Yes, definitely! It's very easy to pair other colours with, especially for interior design. 🙂
Danke!
Have a great w/e. xx
I agree, for interiors it looks clean and amazing art-wise with black and white. One of my favourites! Thanks Mary Jo.
Have a lovely weekend. xx

I have been on the black and white fashion track for the past few months but it's funny you mention interiors–I looked around the other day and realized my home is moving in that direction without any conscious thought. It's just so easy and classic + everything goes with it so well. Love it in the home as well!
xo Mary Jo
Liebe Madison, obwohl ich vermutlich auch am meisten Blazer und Jacken in meinem Schrank habe, habe ich gerade festgestellt, dass mir so ein schöner Mantel noch fehlt! Denn ich mag klassische Muster sehr gerne und ich finde, dass man mit einem Outfit, wie Du es hier zeigst, immer richtig angezogen ist. Unsere Einrichtung ist aber ein wenig bunter 🙂
Alles Liebe from Bavaria/Germany, Rena

I love classic prints and houndstooth is one of them! Love the flats, very cute!

Those shose are aaaaawesome!! <3
That leather jacket is to die for! From the photo, I can't even tell that it's faux. The colorblocking adds some drama to the standard black leather.
I LOVE black & white <3 <3 <3 Thanks for the great inspiration!
Love Minnja
that leather contrast jacket is so gorgeous! it's calling my name! hahaha love it. i've always been a fan of black and white. looks so good together. one of my bathrooms is black & beige. it's nice too.

I love the combination, but don't wear it myself (black doesn't suit me that well). The necklace looks very Versace when Gianni was still designing it. x
yay black! 🙂 i am more of a classic print kind of girl. bold interiors may be an option for some surprise element but over all i'm all about classics.
That houndstooth coat is awesome and reminds me of Gwen Stefani. <3

Black and white is always the right choice!! It's one of my favorite colour combos. I love to wear it and of course my interior is 90% black and white too. Have a happy day Madison. Btw the coat and the flats are awesome 🙂

It's good to be catching up on your posts after my hoilday. You are right about black and white. It's classic and never really goes out of date. Easy to add a pop of colour for a change too. I love the dramatic coat and all the décor inspiration too.
That houndstooth coat is fabulous and I love the black and gold chain, it's my fave accessories combo!
love the monochrome colors!!<3

Hi Madison, you have found my forte with these fabulous B&W pieces, love the printed coat, my room is actually black and white, it really is a favorite of mine. Thanks for stopping by hun 🙂
Great post, when everything else fails, you can always count on black and white to bail you out. Seeing a lot of black and white decor these days and loving it more.

I have to agree with you – black and white is a classical combination 🙂
I like the interior collection you've put together… I'm just working on something on the same lines.

Aww, yes. I'll always love black and white. It just works with everything! The simplicity of it makes it super manageable.

Black and white is so classic indeed and the addition of gold brings a touch of elegance. I really like how this combination stands out in patterns especially when used in home decor.

Black and white is such a classic combination! I love it for both my outfits and home too!

Hi Madison, Im always a fan of classic tones, B&W are an everygreen color matching which never will be out. I have my eye on that houndstooth coat, it would be very lovely with some red, maybe a bag or shoes. Also like the biker jacket and the inspired interiors u matched. Have a great day dear, kisses! xo
black and white – I love it 🙂

black and White is my favourite combination for clothes ever, at home I prefer red and vitaminic colors. ciao
I do like black and white together! the quarry tiles in our kitchen are and everyone admires them – nothing to do with us though, they've been there centuries! x
Great stuff dear…black and white is an evergreen combo…:-)

I love b&w, I think when I need to relax or clear my head, I wear black and white and it tends to help. I love B&W stripes on anything as well, you can always leave it as it is or add dashes of colour and it all works perfectly.Gorgeous examples!! Happy Wednesday doll xx
I know! I'm so sure black and white will never go out of style…
Have a great week,
