If you're an avid follower of fashion trends, you are probably aware of the colorful spring and summer we are about to have. Vivid neons and creamy pastels are the haute hues this season and trust me when I say you can find them everywhere. A topic not often touched on though, is the classic palette of black and white. The yin and yang out of a rainbow of other colors, these two hues are basic staples that everyone should have in their closet. While color trends will come and go, these contrasting options offer a seamless transition into each season and serve as an artist's canvas for you to experiment and accessorize with other bold trends accordingly. One thing I can say with certainty, while black and white may be basic, they are anything but ordinary.
