WEARABLE TREND. Regardless of color, body type and height, black and white will ALWAYS make you look classy and chic. Dress, Forever 21.

MANILA, Philippines – This season has indubitably given a nod to the mod era. It welcomed back the classic black and white palette that dominated the 1960s.

Designers including Diane Von Furstenburg, Michael Kors, Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs embraced its return with graphic prints, stark patterns, chequerboard and linear lines dominating the runway.

If there ever was a trend that is so crucially wearable, this is it.

We rounded up 4 looks from overseas runways that we know you’ll love and did all the shopping for you. You’ll end up with a look that is commanding, chic and modern.

There are no rules for this trend: just line your lashes a la Twiggy and scour your wardrobe (and your boyfriend’s) to join in on the minimalistic monochromania.
