H&M (& Joan Smalls) Has 8 Ideas For Spicing Up Black-And-White Outfits

If you're a black-and-white sort of dresser, even the summer months can't move you to try out a little color…and that's totally okay. There's no reason to not be yourself any time of the year, but there's also no reason to look like you've time traveled forward from last January.

A black-and-white palette is a little harder to summarize, but H&M has eight ideas for those committing to the B&W life. With soft, white lace, subtly studded, ankle-strap heels, patterned, polka-dot frocks, and more, the Romantic Edge collection walks the line between sugar sweetness and don't-cross-me toughness, which kind of is our definition of romance.

Fall in love with more than one item? That's totally okay — this collection's prices are super, super low (the faux leather jacket is the most expensive piece and is only $49.95).
