Dresses That Contain These Two Colors Are Chicer Than Anything Else
We all love a good little black dress and a pretty white dress, but the fact of the matter is that these two colors are even better when worn together. The internet is filled with images of Audrey Hepburn wearing black-and-white dresses, looking as elegant as humanly possible. If you want to look chic with zero effort, all you need to do is wear a black-and-white dress. There's a reason the classic colors for prints like polka dot and gingham are black and white.
I could go on all day about the beauty of black-and-white dresses, but let's just look at the proof. I see stylish women wearing this dress style on a daily basis IRL and on my Instagram feed, so I pulled some of the chicest recent examples but didn't stop there. Below are 23 of my favorite black-and-white dresses on the market right now. Keep scrolling for a reminder of how chic black-and-white dresses are for yourself and to shop the elegant options.
