Monochrome essentials you’ll need this summer
Still got some of that student loan going spare?
Black and white is pretty much a colour combination that will never go out of style. You can play it safe or you can push the boundaries, but you can always rest assured that your ‘fit is probably going to look ill, as long as you stick to your base colour palette. There’s a reason it’s been a thing for so long, right?
It might be coming up to the warmer seasons of the year, but that doesn’t mean you have to say goodbye to what can only be described as the world’s best combination. We’ve compiled a list of ten black and white items you’ll need this summer, so scroll for the run-through, and make sure you pick up these essentials.
