Perfect Outfit: A Buttoned-Up Look That Burns White Hot
Sure, black and white is often associated with cocktail wait staff or members of the Philharmonic, but this tried-and-tested color combo isn't just reserved for uniforms. No, this old-hat style trick has a lot more variety than meets the eye. Here's the proof. Tamara McCleary, blogger of Bonafide Supernova, looks like she means business in these skinny, plaid pants, white button-down, and menswear-inspired tie — but don't for one second think she's a no-play kind of gal. It's the edgy cut-outs and sexy, single-strap heels that transport (at warp speed!) this outfit from basic B&W to total style-star territory. Go ahead and recreate the look for yourself. Then, check out the rest of our Perfect Outfit how-tos.
