Black and white outfits are the perfect evening ensembles, combining elegance with simplicity. 'Little J,' an editorial featuring Jessica Sikosek for 'Ones to Watch,' proves this statement to be true. Sikosek is decked out in a series of stunning monochromatic outfits, from quirky pantsuits to elegant evening shawls. Each of these outfits is relatively loose-fitting, making them fashionably frumpy, a style that seems to be taking the fashion industry by storm these days.
One particularly memorable outfit featured in this editorial consists of a cropped black vest, black and white-striped pants, and a gauzy, silk belt. The resulting ensemble looks almost circus-y -- in a fashionable way, of course. Although both the pants and the vest are androgynous in style, Sikosek pulls them off, proving that more masculine styles can be worn by women without them having to sacrifice their femininity.
With this editorial, 'Ones to Watch' has proven that these monochromatic formal wear designs are definitely styles to look out for this fall.
